I am a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with 22 years of psychiatric nursing experience. Since becoming licensed, I have worked with clients seeking compassionate support for challenges such as anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, schizoaffective disorder, substance use, and personality disorders. I focus on helping clients manage symptoms, gain insight, and improve their quality of life through evidence-based care, supportive therapy, and psychoeducation.
I earned my Master’s in Nursing from Walden University, where I built a foundation in evidence-based psychiatric care. My approach includes psychopharmacologic management, supportive therapy, and psychoeducation to help clients develop resilience, stability, and improved mental well-being.
With empathy and understanding, I provide personalized, compassionate care tailored to each client’s needs. Whether addressing mood disorders or other mental health concerns, I am committed to partnering with clients on their path toward healing and long-term wellness.

Alcohol addiction counseling in Kennesaw can help people manage their urges to consume alcohol. In addition, it can help people manage the challenges that stem from their addiction, from relationship issues to problems at work, as well as issues that their addiction may stem from, like trauma.
Alcohol addiction counseling works by helping one understand the underlying causes of their addiction, teaching them coping strategies, and recognizing their specific triggers. Long-term or ongoing alcohol addiction counseling can also help to prevent relapse.
Alcohol addiction counseling from our therapists in Kennesaw, GA is conducted both in person and online by video. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.
The length of alcohol addiction counseling with our providers at Thriveworks in Kennesaw, GA depends on the individual’s needs and the extent and severity of their addiction, as well as the problems that might stem from it. That said, people can make meaningful progress in alcohol addiction counseling in the first weeks to months.
Many people have found therapy invaluable if they are having trouble regulating when, where, and how they drink. Counselors can assess whether a person’s alcohol use is healthy, harmful, or possibly dependent and then offer strategies that allow the person to gain more regulation over their drinking. Treatment for alcoholism at Thriveworks Kennesaw can help people assess their alcohol use and regain control over any unhealthy dependencies or abuses. Reach out today to get started.
Everyone, to some degree, minimizes their problems. Overcoming denial is difficult for anyone, and alcoholics are no different. There are always reasons for people’s behavior that may seem plausible at the time, but in reality, they cover over harmful behavior. While denial is understandable, the problem is that alcoholism is a dangerous illness. Left untreated, alcoholism and the harm it can cause may become more and more severe. The longer people wait to seek help, the longer they may be missing out on the benefits treatment for alcoholism may bring to their lives.
Seeking help from a therapist may be a good idea if you or someone you love has one or more of the following habits:
Think about the list of possible red flags for alcoholism. Do you see any of those behaviors within yourself or within someone you love? You may not be sure if you are using alcohol in a way that is healthy or a way that is harmful. That’s okay. If you want to speak to someone about your alcohol use, Thriveworks Kennesaw has appointments available with our supportive and experienced therapists.
Alcohol addiction can devastate people’s lives. If you are struggling to control the amount of alcohol you drink, it may be time to seek treatment. Thriveworks Kennesaw, GA has appointments for alcohol addiction therapy available, and if you are ready to start treatment, we are ready to support you. Call today.
