Welcome! I’m here to support you.

Life doesn’t stop handing you moments that ask more of you than you feel ready for, but peace is finding a way to live through it without it knocking you out. That belief is how I show up with every client, whether you’re looking for support for yourself, as a couple, or with your family working through something hard together. I work with individuals, couples, families, and parents who are ready to move past old patterns, manage those frustrating emotions, and move toward relationships and a life that feels more connected and at peace. My style is warm, direct, and adaptable to what you need. I bring a mix of clinical knowledge, lived wisdom, and empathy that helps me meet you where you are. Together, we’ll work toward the kind of peace that holds steady even when life doesn’t.

Supporting parents through the identity shifts, adjustments, and pressures that come with parenthood. Parenthood changes you – sometimes in ways that feel beautiful, and sometimes in ways that feel disorienting and isolating. I work with parents who are adjusting to a new baby, questioning who they are outside of the role of “mom/dad/parent,” going through the child transitions (no matter with young or adult children), or feeling the weight of trying to hold parenthood, marriage, work, and their own identity all at once. Parents I support may be navigating: - Identity shifts after becoming a parent - Adjusting to a new baby or growing family - Moms: Mom guilt and unrealistic expectations - Self-worth and self-esteem - Balancing parenthood with marriage or partnership (or alone) - Balancing parenthood with work or entrepreneurship - Feeling emotionally depleted or “touched out” My goal is to help you feel like yourself again – not just the version of you that exists to meet everyone else’s needs.

Therapy that meets you where you are so you can have peace no matter the chaos. I work with individuals who feel stuck, anxious, or disconnected from themselves – often carrying the weight of past experiences, difficult relationships, or life transitions. My approach is warm and direct, and I let each person’s own needs guide the pace and direction of our work together. Individuals I support may be navigating: - Anxiety and overthinking - Self-esteem and self-worth - Life transitions and identity struggles - Relationship and attachment issues - Emotional overwhelm - Grief and loss - Difficulty trusting yourself and others - Emotional healing Happiness can be finicky day-to-day, but peace can be found and maintained. I am here to help you get there.

Helping couples find each other again. I help couples who feel stuck in the same painful arguments, feel disconnected, or are unsure how to find their way back to each other. I help create a safe space for open, honest expression and aid each partner in truly hearing one another. Using Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), the Gottman Method, and Relational Life Therapy (RLT), my focus is on emotional healing and vulnerability – helping you uncover the needs underneath the conflict, rebuild accountability, and reconnect with intimacy. Couples I support may be navigating: Repeating arguments that never seem to resolve Communication difficulties Affair recovery and trust-building Emotional distance or disconnection Premarital counseling Navigating life transitions together Establishing intimacy and connection It’s not about being the perfect couple. It’s about becoming a couple who knows how to find their way back to each other, every time.

A safe space to be honest and room to change what’s not working. Family struggles show up differently in every household – sometimes it’s parents and kids struggling with ea, sometimes it’s tension between adult siblings or extended family, and sometimes it’s a family trying to adjust to a big change together. I create a safe space for every family member to be vulnerable while we work together to identify and change the patterns that are keeping the family stuck. Families I support may be navigating: Parent-child (adult children or adolescent) conflict Blended family adjustment Communication breakdown between family members Sibling conflict Extended family tension Adjusting to major transitions (divorce, remarriage, new baby, relocation) Unspoken expectations or generational patterns My hope is that your family leaves with more trust, more honesty, and a home that feels safer for everyone in it.

I am completing my Masters of Marriage and Family Therapy degree at Mercer University School of Medicine, to be complete in 2027. I also hold a Master of Science in Information Systems from Kennesaw State University. I am a Certified Life Coach through the International Association of of Professional Recovery Coaches (IAPRC), Gottman Level I trained, and trained in Emotionally Focused Individual Therapy (EFIT). I am an active member of the American Association for Marriage and Family Therapy (AAMFT) and serve as Student Committee Co-Chair for the Georgia Association for Marriage and Family Therapy (GAMFT). Before pursuing clinical work, I spent more than 15 years in corporate leadership and entrepreneurship – experience that gave me firsthand understanding of how career, ambition, and organizational life shape family relationships and personal well-being, and that I now bring directly into the therapy room. I am an active Big Sister in Big Brothers Big Sisters of America and I have mentored over a dozen young women as an active mentor for over a decade.
