Why did you become a therapist, and what motivates you to continue?

From a very young age I was attracted to a field of service for those in need.

Change is often difficult, so my role is to work alongside each person as they navigate through challenges on the way to the life they want for themselves and their loved ones. Each has within them the tools necessary to learn and grow toward a brighter future both personally and in relationships, and it is my privilege to help discover unknown potential and paths forward.  

I have always enjoyed helping others and being an encouragement to others during challenging times. It is something I always wanted to do since I was a young girl. I enjoy the dyad of art and science of therapy. It is part science and part art form. Every client is unique and each session is different. Therapy is built off of relationship building, building trust, creating a safe space, leaning into the uncomfortable-it is really rewarding to help others along that process and it keeps me in check to practice my own grounding and mindfulness skills.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in GA whose telehealth practice offers a nonjudgmental and safe environment for anyone who is seeking insight, interactive feedback, or growth on their journey. I have experience working with anxiety, depression, stress, trauma, phobias, OCD, and life transitions and grief. I strive to support you on your journey by the use of cognitive techniques, mindfulness, and healthy coping strategies. I prefer to work along with my client collaboratively to have a strong therapeutic alliance and a safe space for you to feel comfortable in. I approach therapy through an integrative lens and tailoring treatment to each individual client.  My work is grounded in cognitive behavioral, person-centered, and exposure and response prevention theories. I specialize in working with adults. Please reach out and I would love to help guide you in making positive changes in your life.

After having my first child in 2016 and then the pandemic occurring, I found the importance of mental health services and providing those services especially to new moms/parents experiencing mental health needs as a result of parenthood and the trauma that everyone has experienced as part of living through a pandemic.

I have a degree in Social Work with a focus on family systems, sociology and human sexuality. Throughout my career I have worked with people of various backgrounds and with a variety of needs. I have worked with families and within a school setting with middle and high school students. I am looking forward to working with you. My passion has always been to help others with their emotional and mental health needs. I pride myself in being a great listener and by challenging negative thinking and working together, I anticipate successful outcomes and growth in your life!

My passion for mental health stems from a deep desire to help others lead healthier, more fulfilling lives. The progress I see in my patients keeps me motivated—knowing that I can make a positive difference in someone's life is incredibly rewarding.

I became a therapist because I value connection and service. Being able to support people through their challenges and witness their growth is deeply meaningful to me. Helping couples heal and strengthen their relationships not only impacts their lives, but also uplifts families and communities, making the world a little better for everyone.

I became a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner to address the critical need for mental health care and to bridge the gap between physical and mental health.

Hello, I have been in the nursing field for over 35 years. I graduated with my RN BSN from Bellin College of Nursing in 1989 and have worked to in several areas of care along with many states. I have worked in ICU, surgery, endocrinology, long term and short term rehab, and psychiatric care in residential, hospital and outpatient. I enjoy working with pre-teens through adults. I earned my Family Nurse Practitioner degree at South University in Savannah, Georgia in 2018 and went right back to Maryville University in St. Louis, Missouri for my Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner degree. I was married to a US Marine and lived in many states including Wisconsin, Massachusetts, Michigan, Nebraska, and Florida all of which I hope to incorporate into my practice to provide care in those states too. While in Michigan I earned a degree in American Sign Language. I enjoy spending time with my two daughters. One lives close in Sarasota, FL and my other lives in Kona, HI. My goal this year is to explore more of Florida! In my free time I do like to travel, sew, knit, do epoxy pens and tumblers, and paint on sand dollars I collect at different beaches. I believe that life is a journey and we will come to many crossroads. It is how you handle the decisions made that can make life positive or negative and I hope that with my care you will have success in having life be a more positive journey.

One of my passions as a therapist is helping people overcome their challenges, and improve their mental well-being. I do my best to create a safe and supportive environment where individuals can explore their feelings and struggles without judgment. My motivation as a therapist is witnessing the progress my clients have made and that I was able to provide what they were looking for. The amount of progress clients have made continues to inspire me.

Today's world is too often scary and overwhelming. For many of us, learning to function & adapt in life as a child, teen or young adult is confusing & difficult. These challenges lead to feeling lonely, frustrated or hopeless. Through our work together, you will become confident in yourself, begin to not just 'get by', but thrive. You will begin to experience a life where being you is more than good enough. Unavoidable challenges become opportunities & you gain control of the most important area, yourself. Working together, you will become equipped to navigate day to day life & the unexpected, emerging stronger, smarter & happier.

I have valuable experience helping children and families deal with grief, behavioral issues, stress, depression, trauma, & school-related issues. Working with Wellspring Therapeutic Partners means I regularly consult with our team of prescribers and psychologists who specialize in a variety of areas. I can provide seamless referrals for medication management, psychological testing, therapy for loved ones or other household members, groups & EMDR services as needed and appropriate.

While in college, I went to therapy for the first time and realized not only that it works and really helps, but that I wanted to become a psychologist so I could help others. I know personally and professionally what it takes to feel better, I survived and overcame a deadly eating disorder and feel a genuine responsibility to help others. I started Holistic Health Counseling Center so that I would be able to help as many people as possible. There is hope and I know that when one decides to start looking for a therapist, it can be very challenging to find the right one. The process alone can be discouraging. We understand how that can be and try to make the process as simple as possible.

I am a licensed psychologist and Director of Holistic Health Counseling Center. We provide counseling & psychotherapy to adults, adolescents, couples and families, using an integrated and holistic approach to Mind Body Wellness
