About
Throughout my life, I’ve learned that all experiences are part of the journey. No matter the circumstances that come my way, I choose to focus on the good and always enjoy the ride.
I am a licensed professional counselor (LPC) with 12 years of experience supporting individuals, couples, and families through a wide range of mental health concerns and life transitions. I work with children and adolescents, including those diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder, as well as couples seeking to improve communication and strengthen their connection. I also support women navigating identity changes, major life transitions, and adjustments during the empty-nest stage.
I earned my master’s degree in clinical psychology from Walden University. My approach to counseling is compassionate, collaborative, and tailored to each client’s unique needs. I strive to create a safe, supportive therapeutic environment where clients feel understood, empowered, and encouraged as they work toward meaningful growth and positive change.
Reaching out for support can feel like a courageous and vulnerable step, and you do not have to take it alone. I am here to listen, support, and walk alongside you as we explore a path forward that feels right for you. Together, we can focus on your well-being and help you feel seen, heard, and supported as you move toward healing and personal growth.

As a Black, queer woman and therapist with my own healing journey, I understand how identity, trauma, and survival shape the nervous system and how powerful it can be to feel truly seen and supported.
I’m a licensed professional counselor (LPC) with 15 years of experience across schools, hospitals, community mental health, and research settings. I work with adolescents and adults navigating anxiety, identity exploration, life transitions, relationship concerns, and the ongoing impact of unresolved or overwhelming experiences. I help clients who are feeling disconnected from themselves or stuck in patterns understand how stress and past experiences affect both mind and body, while building practical tools that support nervous system regulation, emotional clarity, and grounded decision-making over time.
I earned my Master of Science in mental health counseling from Georgia State University. My approach is grounded in trauma-informed, somatic-aware, and relational therapy.
Therapy is a collaborative process rooted in respect, curiosity, and care. I strive to create a space where you feel supported in exploring what matters most to you, at a pace that feels sustainable and empowering. If you’re considering therapy, you don’t have to have everything figured out to begin.
You deserve dedicated time with a mental health professional — it can be life-changing.

Family therapy helps families resolve conflicts and strengthen their relationships. It is led by qualified mental health professionals like psychologists, licensed professional counselors (LPCs), and licensed clinical social workers (LCSWs) who have extensive training in family dynamics and group communication.
Thriveworks family therapists in Atlanta, GA usually begin by asking what everyone’s goals are for family counseling. Family members may need help with very specific issues or with general relationship functioning. But there are three main purposes in family counseling: to educate, to counsel, and to strengthen. Thriveworks also offers online family therapy and in-person services, so you may all meet in an office together or join a video call from your home depending on everyone’s location and availability.
The most effective form of Family therapy will often depend on the family itself, as there are many types of family therapy for therapists to use as they see fit in order to best meet the needs of their clients. However, one of the most commonly used types of family therapy is structural family therapy (SFT). SFT focuses specifically on family dynamics and interactions, looking at how they shape the relationships and structure present in the family. It can be effectively used to treat a variety of concerns.
This answer often looks different to each family that starts family therapy. However, some signs that your family might need to consider family counseling include frequent fights or misunderstandings, constant tension, experiencing loss, behavioral issues, marital issues, divorce, and blended family issues, among others.
In family therapy, therapists will often start by asking questions and assessing individual and family dynamics. From there, they may employ therapeutic techniques such as structured family therapy, CBT, strategic family therapy, and more depending on the present concerns and conflicts. From there, a therapist will work to open lines of communication between family members and facilitate emotional healing and growth.
Family therapy can be incredibly successful, with some studies reporting a success rate of almost 90% for improving participants’ emotional and mental health, and around 66% for improving their physical health.
Thriveworks therapists in Atlanta, GA offer both online family therapy and in-person family therapy. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.
Family therapy is usually short term and solution-focused, with most families accomplishing their goals in 12 sessions or fewer. However, it can also last for longer if the probles at hand are more complex — and that’s okay, too.
