Office Location: Atlanta
As your clinician, I am committed to helping you navigate your personal challenges with the understanding that ultimately, you are the driver of your own therapy.
My goal is to provide a safe, understanding, and uplifting environment for my clients. Through a client-centered approach that prioritizes your personal goals, I will support you in your journey. I believe that true change necessitates a deep understanding of who you are, and I will work closely and supportively with you to create a dynamic and empathetic therapeutic environment.
I provide specialized therapy for adolescents and adults, including Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), as well as comprehensive couples counseling, including premarital therapy. I work with folks dealing with anxiety, depression, eating disorders, trauma, grief, and relationship issues. For children ages 6 and up, I also provide play therapy and Trauma-Focused CBT (TF-CBT), tailoring treatment to each child’s developmental needs. My ideal client is open-minded and willing to engage in self-reflection as consistently as is possible. I offer both in-person and virtual sessions.
I completed my Bachelor’s degree in Psychology from Emory University and earned my Master of Social Work from the University of Michigan, with a focus on interpersonal practice in mental health and substance abuse. I am also licensed to practice in New Jersey. I am currently practicing under the clinical supervision of Melissa Grasso, LCSW, and the direction of Amy Smith-Barnes, PsyD.
Please reach out to me if you have any questions or would like to schedule a consultation. I look forward to connecting with you!
