About
As a woman who once struggled to balance authenticity with the pressure to please others, I know firsthand the journey of building confidence and self-esteem. I hope to walk alongside you as you step boldly into the best version of yourself.
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 8 years of experience supporting individuals through anxiety, depression, trauma, and life transitions. I work with adults facing stress, relationship concerns, and self-esteem challenges, helping them find balance and resilience. My goal is to provide a safe, compassionate space where you feel understood, supported, and empowered to grow in your personal journey.
I earned my Master’s in Social Work from Valdosta State University. I use a person-centered approach informed by cognitive behavioral therapy, motivational interviewing, and trauma-informed practices. I focus on helping you challenge negative patterns, build confidence, and strengthen emotional well-being.
I believe every client deserves a supportive environment where their story is heard and healing is possible. I will work with you to build lasting resilience and self-love. I am committed to walking alongside you as you move toward greater fulfillment, confidence, and emotional strength.
