With You Every Step of the Way
Free Consultation
Because No One is Great for Everyone
Not every therapist or counselor is going to be a good fit for you. Because of this, I offer a free 15 minute phone or video call consultation for us to find out if we're a good match. This allows me to ensure that I am not going outside my scope of practice and for you to see if you feel comfortable with me. You are allowed to choose who you speak with just like would choose your doctor or internet service provider! Think of this like an interview for both of us, so come with questions!
Please keep in mind that even though we have not entered into a therapeutic relationship during a consultation, I am still a mandated reporter.
In Person Therapy
Your Adventure Begins Here
In my traditional office therapy sessions, we’ll work on what you can control, you! We will work together to solve current problems and improve positive thinking and behavior. I will help you be mindful and re-frame negative perceptions and provide you with valuable tools to cope with life’s obstacles.
Perinatal
Before, During, and After Pregnancy
Becoming a parent is a huge life transition. Anxiety, depression, and other serious symptoms can occur at any point during the reproductive journey. Whether it be infertility, loss, or intrusive thoughts, I am here to walk by you. I am trained by Postpartum Support International (PSI), and would love to work with anyone experiencing difficulties surrounding pregnancy, childbirth, or parenting. This includes, but is not limited to, birth parents, adoptive parents, foster parents, surrogates, and siblings.
Walk and Talk
A Happier, Healthier You
If you are searching for an alternative to traditional talk therapy in an office, this may be an option for you. Research studies have shown physical activity can enhance both mental and physical health. Walk and talk sessions are similar to regular office sessions with the added benefit of physical movement. Walking can help create a more relaxed environment and assist with focus. Please note the purpose of this type of session is not for exercise and confidentiality cannot be guaranteed due to being in a public place.
Service availability is subject to weather conditions. You and your therapist will determine if the backup option should be telehealth or an office visit.
Telemental Health
Here For You Wherever You Are (in GA)
I understand sometimes we can't get where we need to be. Telemental health services are online services for clients who may be geographically far away, lack transportation, or are sick. Forms of telemental health services can include, but are not limited to, video call, phone call, text, or email. There are different advantages and disadvantages than traditional therapy. One in particular is that therapy can be impeded by the counselor's inability to accurately read facial and body-language cues on some platforms. Another is changing qualities in internet or cellular services can mean sessions may be interrupted. A trial for video or chat services is recommended to prevent technical difficulties interfering with a session.
*Please be aware this service is for Georgia residents only, as this is the state I am licensed. If you or your counselor temporarily travel outside the state, special permissions may be required from the state or country traveled to in order to continue services during that time.
Support Groups and Group Therapy
Quality Care in Numbers
Sometimes healing takes working with other individuals with similar experiences or understandings. Groups are another option if you prefer not to do one-on-one therapy and is more cost effective. Support groups are often peer led and more relaxed when it comes to structure. Group therapy is typically more in depth and structured support led by a therapist or provider.
Depending on what brings you, I would recommend doing individual and group therapy for best results.
Family and Couples Therapy
Here For The Whole Family
Families come in all shapes and sizes. Just as each family is unique, their situations and communication styles are too. Family and Couples Therapy sessions help clients develop positive attitudes towards life’s most complex and challenging circumstances. These sessions consist of family members or partners participating in sessions as a unit rather than the occasion inclusion of one person or another. I primarily work with individuals, so couples and family therapy would be under special circumstances.
Coaching
For Those in need of Non Clinical Support
Have you ever wanted someone to talk to and work with, but therapy wasn't a medical necessity? If therapy isn't right for you, then coaching may be an option. Coaching is not therapy, and if you have been a therapy client with us you cannot switch to coaching and vise versa. Coaching can be a combination of online course work, group coaching calls, or individual coaching calls. To learn more, send an email or schedule a consultation to determine your options.

Teletherapy Sessions
I use Simple Practice, which sends a custom link for your scheduled appointment via email and/or text. You can also access appointment links via your client portal.
As a backup option, I use Doxy.me, which is a free, HIPAA compliant website. It's simple and easy to use. We can chat or do a video call, and you do not need a profile.
