I work with children ages 8 and older, teens, young adults, adults, couples, and families. I believe counseling is a place where you can slow down, make sense of what you’re experiencing, and begin to understand not only what you’re feeling, but why.
Sometimes we find ourselves repeating the same patterns, struggling with the same emotions, or feeling stuck without really understanding what’s keeping us there. My goal is to help you look beneath the surface and explore the thoughts, emotions, relationships, and experiences that may be contributing to those struggles. Rather than simply focusing on managing symptoms, I want to help you develop greater insight into yourself, experience meaningful growth, and build healthier ways of moving forward.
For clients who desire it, I am happy to integrate Christian faith and biblical principles into the counseling process. I believe every person was created with purpose, and I value the opportunity to help clients explore their emotional, relational, and spiritual growth through a Christian perspective. Faith integration is always based on your individual beliefs, values, and preferences.
I support clients navigating anxiety, depression, emotional regulation, self-esteem, relationship concerns, social skills, life transitions, and developing healthy coping skills. I previously worked as a college counselor and especially enjoy helping teens and young adults navigate the transitions, relationships, identity questions, and growing responsibilities that often come with these stages of life.
My approach to counseling is warm, collaborative, and supportive. I believe you know your life and experiences better than anyone, so I don’t see my role as telling you what to do. Instead, I want to walk alongside you—helping you recognize patterns, understand yourself more deeply, identify your strengths, and make changes that align with the life and relationships you want to build.
I also have a special passion for working with couples and families. Our relationships can be some of our greatest sources of connection and support, but they can also be where we experience some of our deepest hurt. I enjoy helping couples and families better understand one another, strengthen communication and connection, work through conflict, and create healthier patterns within their relationships.
Because every person and every story is different, I tailor therapy to the individual rather than relying on a one-size-fits-all approach. I draw from several therapeutic approaches, including Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Existential Therapy, Adlerian Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Christian-integrated therapy, and other evidence-based interventions.
I earned my Bachelor of Science in Psychology from the University of North Georgia and my Master of Arts in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Liberty University.
Above all, I want our sessions to be a place where you feel safe enough to be honest, supported enough to explore the difficult things, and encouraged as you begin making meaningful changes. You don’t have to have everything figured out before coming to counseling. We can start where you are and work together toward where you want to be.
I am currently working under the supervision of Sarah Booth, LPC.
