- LMHC, LPC
As a licensed therapist in Georgia, I specialize in supporting individuals navigating complex emotional landscapes. My approach centers on empowering clients through compassionate, culturally responsive care. I have deep expertise in addressing depression, anxiety, stress management, and LGBTQ+ experiences.
My therapeutic practice focuses on helping individuals develop stronger self-love, improve communication skills, and heal attachment-related challenges. I understand the nuanced intersections of identity and mental wellness, particularly for marginalized communities. Through a collaborative, affirming approach, I create a supportive environment where clients can explore their experiences and develop meaningful strategies for personal growth.
Drawing from evidence-based practices, I aim to walk alongside my clients, honoring their unique journeys and strengths. My commitment is to provide thoughtful, personalized support that respects each individual's lived experiences and emotional needs.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
