With experience comes perspective. I listen without judgment, think critically, and believe every person's story deserves to be heard.
I believe that everyone has a story worth hearing and that healing begins in a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental environment. As a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and National Certified Counselor (NCC), I earned my Master of Science in Mental Health Counseling from Mercer University and my Bachelor of Science in Psychology from Georgia State University, graduating summa cum laude. I enjoy working with adults facing anxiety, depression, trauma, PTSD, grief, and life transitions. Together, we'll build on your strengths and work toward lasting growth and healing. I especially welcome veterans.
I believe healing begins with feeling heard. My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and tailored to your unique needs. Using evidence-based techniques, I help clients develop practical coping skills, build resilience, process difficult experiences, and move toward lasting emotional wellness.
Change is possible, and healing begins one step at a time. Whether you're facing a difficult season or seeking personal growth, I would be honored to support you on your journey. I look forward to working with you.

Loneliness counseling is a specialized form of therapy focused on helping individuals navigate the emotional challenges and isolation associated with persistent loneliness. Counselors and therapists at Thriveworks in Marietta, GA create a supportive and understanding environment where clients can delve into the root causes of their loneliness and develop strategies to establish meaningful social connections.
Loneliness counseling employs a multifaceted approach, utilizing Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) techniques to reframe your negative thought patterns, enhance communication, and improve social skills. It also incorporates interpersonal therapy to address relationship patterns, and mindfulness practices to manage feelings of loneliness and self-criticism. Goal-setting is also encouraged to help you actively pursue social connections and community engagement. Through these techniques, loneliness therapy empowers individuals to overcome isolation, develop meaningful relationships, and enhance their overall emotional well-being.
Thriveworks loneliness counseling in Marietta, GA is conducted both in person and online by video. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.
Loneliness counseling can take different amounts of time. It depends on how lonely a person is and how they’re doing in counseling. Normally, it involves many sessions that last from a few weeks to a few months. The exact number of sessions and how long it takes are determined with the loneliness counselor’s input.
It’s common for people who deal with chronic loneliness to feel hopeless. It often feels that there simply isn’t an answer to the problems of social isolation and being lonely. The truth is that a counselor can help in most cases. If you think you could benefit from professional help, reach out to Thriveworks in Marietta to schedule your first loneliness counseling session. We’re here to help.
The first step is for your counselor to assess you and your situation. Your loneliness and social isolation could be caused by an underlying medical condition or mental health issue. If that’s the case, then that medical condition or mental health issue will likely be dealt with first.
There are a number of actions clients can take to put an end to their loneliness. We’ll provide you with comprehensive tips and suggestions based on your specific situation but some common options include:
At Thriveworks Marietta Counseling & Coaching we work to provide you with a customized treatment plan. We’ll take the time to listen to your needs and concerns to make sure we understand your concerns and your future goals.
