About
As a therapist, I bring both lived experience and clinical training, offering a warm, culturally attuned space where you can feel truly seen, heard, and supported as you grow.
I am a licensed associate professional counselor (LAPC) with 7 years of experience providing therapy to adolescents and adults. I specialize in anxiety, depression, burnout, relationship concerns, and trauma-related challenges. I work with individuals who are seeking deeper insight, emotional regulation, and a greater sense of balance and fulfillment in their lives.
I have my master’s degree in clinical mental health counseling from Liberty University. My approach is warm, collaborative, and insight-oriented, blending cognitive-behavioral strategies, attachment-focused work, and trauma-informed care. I help clients build emotional regulation skills, strengthen self-awareness, and develop tools for lasting change.
If you’ve been carrying more than you let others see, you don’t have to do it alone. Healing is possible, and change often begins with one courageous step. When you’re ready, I invite you to schedule a session—I would be honored to walk alongside you in this work.

As a black woman who's been married for 10 years and lives a very busy life, I understand the challenges that comes with marriage and society. As someone who has personally experienced depression and anxiety along with challenges in self-esteem, I understand how that can get in the way of the relationship with yourself, significant other, and family.
I have been practicing therapy since 2019 and hold an LPC. I typically work with couples who are facing communication challenges and broken trust along with helping them reconnect. I work with individuals and help them to gain healthy coping skills to deal with anxiety, depression, and low self-esteem.
I love to be collaborative with clients and be intuitive to specific needs they may have in the moment. That helps clients to feel seen and understood during their healing journey.
Healing is something we all must experience but being able to trust someone you can be vulnerable with makes it so much easier.
I believe therapy should be client-driven and I look forward to helping others heal at their own pace....

To paraphrase an old but true saying, “the only thing constant in life is change.” One thing that was left out is that change can often times be scary and hard. Just when we think things are going good, life has a way of throwing us a curve ball just to make things “interesting.” Whether you are experiencing difficulty with coping with changes related to your emotions, your relationships, your job, your health, or just life in general, counseling can help. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with approximately 12 years of experience with working with children, adults, families, and couples. I am proud to have an all-inclusive practice that serves clients and families of varying ethnicities, sexual orientations, socio-economic status, and other cultural backgrounds. I take pride in providing a comfortable and welcoming (yet always professional) environment where clients are encouraged to be open and honest. My primary goal is to help my clients to uncover their innate ability to adapt and thrive despite any challenges they may face. Common issues that I help with include depression, anxiety, self-esteem, anger management, relationship stressors, behavior issues, trauma and abuse, stress management, relational codependency, suicidal thoughts, and grief. I utilize a holistic/systems approach to counseling in order to understand the impact that a client’s mental, social, emotional, physical, and spiritual well-being may have on the issues that they are facing. While I believe quality training is important, I also believe that it is just as important to find a counselor that is a good “fit.” I would the love the opportunity to see if I am a good fit to help assist you on your journey. With online counseling (within the state of Georgia), and 24/7 scheduling, you are just one mouse click/phone call of way, so…let’s HEAL together!

Christian counseling in Woodstock is a form of faith-based counseling that utilizes psychological and spiritual techniques to guide and support. Often, Christian counselors often incorporate prayer and scripture-reading into treatment to help practicing Christians work through their challenges.
Christian counseling works by focusing on themes of hope and healing through one’s faith. At Thriveworks, your Christian counselor will discuss Christian values and relate them to your unique struggles. You can expect to discuss the following with them:
Christian counseling at Thriveworks is conducted both in person and via Online therapy. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.
Christian counseling can last for a few weeks, months, or longer. It depends on what challenges the client might be working through, the severity of those challenges, as well as other needs or preferences.
Life is far from perfect. At some point, we all encounter towering mountains and storms that seem to last forever. When the storms hit, it’s easy to think you have to weather them alone. It’s easy to say you have to be strong enough, your perseverance powerful enough, your faith big enough. But we are not meant to walk alone.
Thriveworks Woodstock is here to offer a helping hand and walk beside you as you fight this life’s battles. We know we can’t take the steps for you, but our counselors offer empathetic, nonjudgmental support and professional guidance that can give you the tools you need so you can build the life you choose.
Christian Counseling at Thriveworks Woodstock can provide that missing piece in counseling sessions- spiritual health. Mental, emotional, and physical health are immensely important, but we can’t ignore the spiritual aspect of our lives. For some, their relationship with God is the center of their lives. If it is important to you, it’s important to us. Also, the Christian faith is immensely powerful! Thriveworks Woodstock has counselors who share the same faith as you, so you can grow in your religion with a like-minded professional helping you along the way.
Christian Counseling at Thriveworks Woodstock is much the same as counseling for non-Christians, except the techniques and discussions are taken through the lens of your Christian religion. This spiritual edge can be just what people need to overcome their trials.
A Christian proponent can be added on to virtually any counseling session. No matter what you are struggling with, Thriveworks Woodstock is here to walk with you through it. We always take a client-centered approach to counseling, which means you will remain at the center of our discussions. What your fears, passions, goals, and doubts are will be the focus.
In the course of a Christian Counseling session, Christian values are often brought up and explored. We can relate them back to your personal struggles and find guidance within their wisdom. Some of the techniques we use include:
Christian beliefs are overflowing with themes of hope, healing, and faith. It would be silly to completely ignore the beautiful faith you’ve cultivated, or the impact it has on your life. Faith is a powerful thing indeed and can be just as powerful in a counseling room. Our Thriveworks Woodstock Christian Counselors want to help you grow not only personally, but spiritually as well.
Christian counseling is for anyone who identifies as Christian or wants to take a spiritual take on the counseling process! We accept all denominations and beliefs. Our goal is to never change your core beliefs but to utilize them to create space and healing in your life.
Sometimes we can get into the headspace that we have to go through our trials alone. We start to believe that reaching out for help is a sign of weakness. We don’t want to be a burden to others or miss out on the chance to grow our own faith and belief.
These are valid concerns, but mostly untrue. As humans, we are meant to be in kinship with one another and help each other up. Reaching out for help is more often than not a sign of humility and strength, not weakness. Thriveworks Woodstock wants to thank you for your strength and courage in just reading this. We are excited to meet you and begin growing together.
You might find Christian Counseling especially useful if you are struggling with one or more of the following adversities:
Your Christian faith has a huge impact on your life; it shouldn’t be ignored in a counseling session! Thriveworks Woodstock is passionate about growing your faith as well as helping you through your struggles. If you are ready to take the next steps towards healing and growth, give us a call today.
