I am a Licensed Professional Counselor, a Master of Arts in Counseling Psychology, a National Certified Counselor, an Addiction and Recovery Specialist, and a Certified Life Coach in Georgia. I have 10 years of experience helping clients with stress, anxiety, and coping with addictions, trauma, boundaries, motivation, self-esteem, & confidence. I also integrate a faith-based holistic approach into therapy (if preferred). I work with individuals from any religious /non-religious, or cultural background in addition to cognitive behavior therapy, solution-focused, motivational interviewing, talk therapy, and relapse prevention. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. I know what it means to "press and pursue" many sleepless tormented nights, consumption of fear, and barriers I learned that setbacks became set-ups to learn from life trials. If you feel like you're being held captive, my goal is to set the captive in you free!
