Life is a journey and I believe it is the role of the counselor to walk beside you on the journey when the way is rough. You do not have to face the difficult journey alone. For over 20 years, I have worked in a variety of settings helping individuals and families experience emotional healing. I specialize in working with women who are seeking help with managing emotions, the past, and difficult relationships. I work with those of any faith, but for those seeking distinctively Christian counseling, I am experienced in integrating faith into the therapy process. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in Georgia. I received my Master’s in Counseling Ministry from Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary and a Doctorate in Ministry with a concentration in Family Therapy from Amridge University. Services are provided online through a HIPPA-compliant portal very similar to Zoom. This allows me to work with women throughout the state of Georgia and Florida (self-pay only). I no longer provide in-office services. I am married with two children. On weekends you can find me somewhere outside enjoying nature.

I followed my passion and graduated from Wake Forest University with a Masters degree in clinical mental health counseling after a 20-year-long award-winning career in business development and marketing. Throughout my time in the mental health field, I have gained valuable experience working in addiction treatment settings, inpatient behavioral health facilities, private practice, and community mental health agencies in the Greater Metro Atlanta area. My years of experience working in mental health settings have equipped me with the skills needed to help individuals, couples, and groups work through a variety of issues. I take great pride in the progress and success of my clients, and look forward to working with you.
