I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in the state of Georgia with over 8 years of experience working as a counselor and social worker. I am a certified Health and Wellness Coach as well, I have helped individuals and families restructure their lives over the years through professional and personal experiences. I am a firm believer that if we change our thoughts we can then change our lives.
I obtained a Bachelors degree in Social Work and a Masters Degree in Education and School Counseling. I have experience working with clients who have presented issues ranging from ADHD ,Anxiety, Depression & Relationship issues to name a few. I foster a Holistic approach to therapy which encompasses mental, physical and emotional wellbeing. My goal for my client is to obtain and maintain balance in all facets of their lives. I utilize (CBT) Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy & Motivational Interviewing as therapeutic modalities within my approach.
It takes courage to seek out help from others but taking that first step could change your life. I am a non-judgmental therapist who wants to see his clients overcome barriers that maybe hindering their lives.
I look forward to working you.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
