You don’t have to figure it all out alone. I offer a warm, supportive, and judgment-free space where you can feel heard, understood, and empowered to make real change. With over 15 years of experience, I help adults, teens, and couples/families navigate anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, and major life transitions. My approach is practical, honest, and tailored to your unique goals. If you’re ready to feel more in control, more confident, and more like yourself again — let’s talk. I'm here for you.

I am a great fit for people who: a) need to be functional for work; b) feel more comfortable with an informal professional style; c) know they need to do "the work" but aren't sure where to start.

If you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck in your thoughts, or struggling in your relationships, you’re not alone—and you don’t have to figure it out on your own. Many of my clients are high-functioning on the outside but feel anxious, drained, or disconnected underneath. I help adults build healthier boundaries, strengthen their sense of self-worth, and work through the patterns that keep them feeling stuck. My approach goes beyond surface-level coping, offering a space where you can gain clarity, feel understood, and create meaningful, lasting change. If you're ready to feel more confident in yourself and your relationships, I’d be honored to support you.

Professionally, I have advanced training and experience in treating trauma, grief, anxiety, depression, substance use disorders, and insomnia. For six years, I worked for the VA, helping veterans heal the invisible wounds of combat and other traumatic experiences. Now, I offer therapy to the wider community, including veterans. I love what I do, and that shine through in my work. Please feel free to contact me to learn more about my practice and to set up an appointment.

Atlanta's rapid growth as a major business hub has intensified demand for therapists specializing in workplace stress, burnout, and anxiety among its large professional population. The city has a vibrant and well-established Black community, and many therapists focus on culturally affirming care, racial identity, and intergenerational trauma. Long commutes and sprawl are a persistent stressor for many residents, and a large share of Atlanta therapists offer extended hours and telehealth options across the metro area. Piedmont Healthcare and Emory Healthcare anchor institutional mental health services alongside the city's extensive private practice community.
