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.
