Learn MoreAbout Me
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the state of Georgia. I have worked with families/individuals in crisis for the past 16 years. I also have been trained in transformative mediation in the civil and domestic relations areas. The focus of my work has been related to reunification between parents and children, addiction issues, domestic violence, anger management, stress management, and the overall wellness of individuals and families. I have worked with parents extensively to address problems in parenting and with children with both behavioral problems and a variety of special needs.
My counseling style is to provide a safe space for therapeutic progress and open and honest work. My approach combines respect and empathy by using cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, psychodynamic and rational-emotive counseling. I ensure forward-thinking and open dialog to formulate and carry out a treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. I am goal-oriented and will work to help you achieve the goals you desire.
While change can be scary and intimidating, I will work to empower you to gain control of the issues you present. We will work together to allow you to make changes that are lasting and will afford you the life you seek.
