Each of us wants our story to be heard. True healing comes when mind, body, and spirit are whole. Having grown up overseas, I understand the alienation of being an outsider in your own country. I experienced the psychological trauma & shame created by religious/church maltreatment. I lived the pain cycle of love vs chaos in narcissistic relationships. I've experienced divorce, remarriage, single-parenting hardships, and poverty, while also finding the beauty of rebuilding brokenness. There is power and restoration when we invite someone to walk alongside us, no matter how painful the struggle.

I offer a safe space of acceptance and kind confrontation. As a licensed professional counselor (in Georgia, Tennessee, and Florida) and a certified wellness coach (through NASM, the National Academy of Sports Medicine), I offer resources to help you organize your life and provide keys to healing trauma.

Our lives manifest trauma in many ways. Trauma can be a pattern or a one-time event from religious, psychological, emotional, or physical abuse, often by the people we trust the most. One research-based, proven therapy tool is EMDR Therapy, a “non-talk-therapy” method that helps us work through the past, accept the present, and work toward a healthy future.

Another form of therapy is Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT). This modality guides us to identify, deconstruct, and reframe challenging thought patterns toward positive thoughts.

As your therapist, I will be present, accepting you at your level of need, and finding what works for you. Whether it is anxiety, trauma, religion -"mess", LGBTQIA+ issues, narcissism, codependency; or parenting, troubled marriage, shame, powerlessness, having had toxic parents, the process of aging, or simply the need to redirect a career, I will listen with consideration and open-mindedness while also not hesitating to challenge you when you need another perspective or a “nudge”.
