I am a psychotherapist, Licensed Clinical Social Worker, and certified trauma professional. I am passionate about helping individuals and families restore or cultivate emotional, physical, and social well-being and tranquility. So whether you're struggling with anxiety, low self-esteem, feeling overwhelmed or unmotivated, or having interpersonal relationship issues, I am here to help you.
Before starting a career in social work and mental health, I served proudly in the United States Army. I am a member of the Georgia Society for Clinical Social Workers and the Georgia Chapter of the National Association of Social Workers.
