Our counselors provide therapy in Kennesaw, GA

Hi, I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with a Master's degree from Mercer University. I help adults and seniors navigating anxiety, depression, stress, trauma, relationship challenges, life transitions, and self-esteem concerns build resilience and emotional well-being. My approach is warm, collaborative, and client-centered, offering a safe space to explore your thoughts and emotions without judgment. Whether you're seeking healthier coping strategies, strengthening relationships, or greater confidence, I'm committed to helping you develop the tools and insight needed to achieve your goals and live a more fulfilling life.

My approach to therapy is collaborative, compassionate, and tailored to each client's needs and goals. I draw from evidence-based practices such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), person-centered therapy, and solution-focused interventions to help clients understand their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors while developing coping skills for daily life.

Taking the first step toward therapy can feel overwhelming, but you don't have to navigate life's challenges alone. I'm committed to providing a supportive, compassionate space where you feel heard, understood, and empowered to grow. No matter where you are in your journey, we'll work together toward healing, resilience, and the life you envision.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor. I work with clients who have experienced depression, both childhood and adult trauma, codependency issues, anxiety, grief/loss, stress, life transitions, and PTSD. I also work with individuals suffering from grief, divorce, and issues pertaining to aging. I offer counseling to teens, adults, and families through a down-to-earth counseling approach.

Together, we'll create a schedule that works for you-whether it's weekly or bi-weekly, in person or online. I'll regularly check in to ensure you're satisfied with your progress, and I'm always open to feedback to adjust your treatment as needed.

My core beliefs are grounded in unconditional positive regard for all. My passion is to help others reach their full potential of emotional peace. If you are ready to begin your journey, feel free to call and make an appointment. I am here and ready to listen!
