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.

Together, we work to build insight, develop practical coping strategies, and create meaningful, sustainable change that aligns with their values and goals.
I earned my Master of Science in clinical mental health counseling from Walden University.

Psychologists are mental health professionals that provide psychotherapy services and diagnoses for their clients. They have more research-focused training than most therapists, as they are more medically educated and receive a more general education about therapeutic approaches and theory.
Thriveworks psychologists in Cumming, GA provide standard psychotherapy services, tailoring treatment to each client and their unique concerns. However, they can also provide diagnoses to clients when appropriate, something that therapists and counselors cannot do. Finally, in some states in the U.S., they are allowed to prescribe medication.
