*I take insurance on a separate platform! Please ask if you are interested* Hello everyone! Welcome to my page. I mostly help clients navigate life transitions, infidelity recovery, stress/anger management, and relationship challenges. If you feel overwhelmed, stuck, or uncertain about your next steps, I would love to provide a supportive, direct, and compassionate space to heal and grow. Whether you’re rebuilding trust, setting boundaries, or managing anxiety, I can help you develop clarity, confidence, and emotional resilience. Together, we’ll break unhelpful patterns and create lasting change. I use a lot of CBT (cognitive behavioral therapy) to help with reframing thought patterns that may be holding you back. I also explore your past to help understand the root of your issues. We won’t delve into areas you’re not ready for. I hope that, as we build trust, your comfort with vulnerability grows, so together we can face those challenges. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor by the state of Georgia. I have my Master’s degree in Marriage and Family Therapy and my Bachelor’s in Sociology and Anthropology. I have worked in private practice, prison, school, hospital, and partial hospitalization settings. On a personal note, when I am not providing therapy, I am a performer in NYC. Musical Theatre is a passion of mine and Broadway is definitely the end goal for me. I’m also in the process of learning Korean. My favorite cuisine is Mediterranean food. I am a bariatric patient, I had the gastric sleeve to be exact and have lost 100 lbs. I’m the type of person who goes to the beach and can stay in the water for hours. Most importantly, I never give up. Not on myself and definitely not on other people. Ready to start your journey with me? Let’s go!
