I believe we need HOPE in order to begin the change process. As your counselor, my goal is to help you rediscover your hope. 

Together we will find your hope in life by discovering your purpose, overcoming your fears that hold you back, believing you are valuable, lovable, and acceptable just the way you are; and utilizing your strengths in becoming the person you were created to be. I use concepts from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Family Systems Therapy, Internal Family Systems, and Brief Solution Focused Therapy to support the process of change. I invite you to share your hopes and your fears knowing that they are important to me and will be used to shape your personal treatment.  It is my sincere hope that you will find a place to rest from the demands of life at Haven Counseling Center.

I provide individual, group, and family counseling to adults, adolescents, and middle school children; and have a wide range of experience working in private practice, special education, and hospital case management with a focus on mental and emotional well-being.  

Over the years, my experience has taught me that truly helping my clients involves a process of finding hope as we explore the impact of the past on the present and by creating a safe space for sharing feelings, identifying values, and setting goals that ultimately propel each client towards a brighter future.

People generally begin seeing me because they are facing challenges such as relationship distress, addictive or compulsive behaviors, separation/ divorce, post-traumatic stress disorder, school difficulties, depression and/or anxiety. Much of my experience has been helping clients find balance in their lives and re-focus on values important to them. What I provide is a healing and non-judgmental space on your journey as you utilize your own strengths and insights about yourself building the momentum you need for healing and change. I will approach your problems in a way that works with how you think and what you believe. I use an integrative approach combining elements of Behavioral Therapy, Internal Family Systems, Narrative Therapy and Solution-focused Therapy to use evidence-based practices in our work together.

I provide individual, couple and family therapy for people who are facing challenges. I have worked in a multitude of settings such as: private practice, school-based, inpatient, residential, substance abuse (MAT), community mental health and managed care. I have worked extensively with individuals/families struggling with Substance Use and Trauma for the last ten years and have specialized training in working with Military Veterans.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in the state of Georgia. I also hold certifications as a National Certified Counselor (NCC) and as an Advanced Alcohol and Drug Counselor (CAADC). 

You want to strive for the greatness that exists within you. You desire a sense of belonging and connection to life, one that provides meaning and purpose. While you’re in therapy, you could be yourself.  You get to be vulnerable and explore the anxieties and difficult emotions you’re afraid to share with the people you love. Together we will define your vision for change as you take steps to live a life of healing and growth. Your life is priceless and has enormous value in the eyes of the world. You are not alone.

Life can be extraordinarily demanding; however, you can take control of your life with the convenience of evening and weekend appointments. Please feel free to contact me by phone or email with any additional questions. All calls and emails are confidential.

You want to find a breakthrough to restore the love within your family. Learn to support your child through their Traumas, A.D.H.D., Depression, Anxiety, and other social or psychological issues. Educate and equip yourself and your family with therapeutic techniques to help ease the numbness, emptiness, and pain within your loved one.

Allow me to join you in finding the answer to life’s roadblocks by getting to know yourself, your spouse, and/or your children. Become your authentic self and restore the calm in your life.
