LCSW

As a licensed therapist in Georgia with over two decades of clinical experience, I specialize in supporting individuals navigating complex emotional landscapes. My professional focus centers on helping clients work through addiction, depression, anxiety, adjustment issues, trauma, grief, and challenges with self-esteem.

I am deeply committed to creating a compassionate therapeutic environment where individuals can explore difficult emotions like isolation, guilt, and shame. My approach emphasizes self-love and personal growth, guiding clients toward understanding their inner strengths and developing healthier emotional patterns.

Through evidence-based practices and a client-centered approach, I support individuals in transforming painful experiences into opportunities for healing and self-discovery. My goal is to walk alongside you, offering genuine support and professional guidance as you navigate your unique journey toward emotional wellness.

About online counseling

Affordable.: Pay a low flat fee.
Convenient.: Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
Available now.: There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.

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.
