Every person has a story and should be met with empathy and compassion. It is my goal to meet clients where they are and inspire them to live their lives, not just survive it. Life is a rollercoaster of ups and downs and my aim is to help clients navigate that ride without falling off. I approach my sessions in collaboration with my clients and help equip them with the tools to thrive emotionally, mentally, and socially. I strive for inclusivity and advocate for all my clients to be the main characters of their own story and help assist them on that journey.
In my sessions, I take an eclectic approach and apply various techniques such as client-centered therapy, strengths perspective, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing. In addition, I utilize evidence-based modalities such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT). I am genuinely passionate about creating a holistic and creative plan of action in conjunction with my clients to meet their needs and tackle the stressors in their lives.
I graduated in 2019 with a Bachelor's of Science in Psychology from Oglethorpe University. I am currently in the final year of my Master's of Social Work program at the University of Georgia with a projected graduation date of May 2025. Post-graduate plans include pursuing LCSW licensure and continuing my therapist journey. I have five years of social work case management experience in community mental health and am truly ready and excited to transition into the therapist role.
I am a native Georgian and strive to better my home and the community around me. In my free time, I enjoy reading, cross-stitching, watching movies and television shows, playing video games (specifically the Legend of Zelda franchise) and going thrifting. I look forward to being a part of your journey!
