I believe that a huge part of the therapeutic process is having a trusting relationship between the client and therapist in order to effect change. I strive to partner with my clients on their journey to becoming their best selves. My approach to counseling contains elements of Cognitive-Behavioral, Mindfulness, Strengths-Based, Narrative, and Solution-Focused therapies. Through the therapeutic process, I help clients identify and reach their goals.
My specialties include behavior issues in children and adolescents, anxiety, grief, parenting support, managing anger, and depression. I'm also trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and have a lot of experience working with trauma and victims of domestic violence.
I have held my LCSW in the state of Georgia since 2004. I attended Emory University with a Double Major in Spanish and Psychology and then received my Masters in Social Work from Boston College Graduate School of Social Work. I have been working with adults, children and families for over 21 years now and have a variety of experience working in both the mental health field and in the school setting.
