If you are looking for someone to guide you in the therapy process who takes you seriously while being kind and compassionate, and who is skillful and experienced but down-to-earth and easy to talk to…then I may be the right therapist for you.

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with 6 years of experience as a practicing therapist. I graduated from Valdosta State University earning my Bachelor of Arts degree in Psychology and Master of Science degree in Marriage and Family Therapy. I chose to become a Marriage and Family Therapist because of the systemic and relational approach that is used in problem resolution. I believe that problems aren’t just in you or outside of you, but within the relationship in between. To date, I have experience with working with clients within private practice, in-home, and inpatient settings. It’s my goal at Transparent Truth Counseling Services to help clients learn narratives that keep them strained, unlearn unhealthy patterns and behaviors, and relearn narratives or preferred TRUTHS that will better suit their lifestyle. If you experience thoughts like: "I'm not good enough." "I'm not doing enough." "I feel anxious about the unknown." "I feel depressed trying to measure up with expectations." "I should have this by now." I am here to help you live life on your terms by helping you redefine what it means to be "enough." I look forward to unpacking your reality or truth and help co-create a narrative that fits for you!  

I am a therapist with immediate daytime availability. I work with teens 16 and up and adults. I work with issues such as depression, anxiety, mood, dysregulation, body image, perinatal mood disorder, work stress, chronic illness, and pain. I am here for you to feel heard and validated. I work from a collaborative strength-based approach where we will address underlying patterns that may not be working for you anymore. I am an experienced clinician who believes in prioritizing mental health. I believe that one can cope with these issues by using skills of; attunement, mindfulness, and self-compassion practices.

Every client has a unique set of circumstances and issues that they carry with them. Therefore, my approach to therapy involves tailoring a unique and collaborative treatment plan that focuses on reaching your specific goals. My treatment in therapy involves proven and evidenced based approaches that have been effective in research and in real life circumstances for decades with countless individuals, couples, and families. For the past several years I have committed to partnering with non-profits, hospitals, and community mental health clinics treating individuals, couples, and families with complex issues ranging from depression, anxiety, life stage distress, traumatic experiences, and cancer related mental health issues. My efforts within these frameworks has been to focus on and address my clients’ needs from a whole person approach. This translates into thoughtfully assessing the biological, psychological, and social components and stressors of each unique individual.

Perhaps you are making it through the days, but each night you are feeling exhausted and emotionally drained. Or you find that the worries of your life keep you from being able to sleep, get things done, or just laugh the way you used to. Maybe you have just gotten used to feeling this way and wonder if it can even be different. Whether your struggles feel brand new, or they have been happening for quite a while- you do not have to face them alone. Therapy can offer a supportive space for you to learn and heal, reconnect with the small moments that matter, and discover the things that are meaningful and energizing for you. I especially enjoy working with clients who tend to push through their struggles and appear to get by most days, yet inside they feel worn down, overwhelmed, or unseen. They often feel that if they stop for just a moment things will fall apart, but they have a hard time telling others how they are feeling, asking for help, or taking a break for themselves. One of my passions is working with clients who are seeking therapy for the first time or have been looking to take this step for a while but haven't been sure how. If you want to talk more about what you are looking for or are feeling overwhelmed by the process of looking for a therapist, please don't hesitate to reach out to me for suggestions or referrals!
