We all struggle at some point in our lives. I believe our mental and emotional struggles are opportunities to grow, and most importantly, you don’t have to face them alone. One of the best things about therapy is having someone on your side who is guiding you, listening, and providing feedback as you work through these internal challenges to be your best self.

I earned my Master of Social Work from the University of Georgia in 2024 and my Bachelor of Science in Psychology from Georgia State University in 2020. I’m currently working on attaining my LCSW to continue working as a therapist in the private practice setting.

Before pursuing my Master of Social Work, I was a Program Manager at Pebble Tossers Teen Leadership. While I was there, I developed a Social-Emotional Learning (SEL) based curriculum. SEL is a skills development process focusing on self-awareness, self-regulation, social awareness, relationship skills, and conflict resolution. 

At C&A, I work with children, adolescents and adults. My approach to therapy integrates the principles of SEL, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), growth-mindset practices, and mindfulness techniques.

In my spare time, I enjoy playing guitar, kickboxing, running, practicing yoga, playing chess, reading anything related to psychology and philosophy, and binge-watching TV shows.
