Welcome! I am glad you are here !

I am a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist in Georgia, offering in-person sessions in Valdosta and telehealth for GA & FL residents. I provide therapy services with a systemic approach, as well as EMDR and trauma-focused therapy. Starting therapy can bring a mix of emotions - it's brave, courageous, and a step toward self-care. My goal is to create a compassionate space for healing for adult individuals, couples, and families alike. Through therapy, we can navigate the intricate landscapes of relational and attachment challenges that can feel like trying to find a GPS signal in a tunnel—frustrating and disorienting! Whether you're wrestling with the aftershocks of acute trauma or managing the consistent companion of chronic anxiety, it’s perfectly normal to feel a bit lost. Therapy is here to help you declutter that emotional backpack, find a pause in the craziness, and uncover paths through the maze. Together, we can create a roadmap that leads to healthier relationships, emotional resilience, and ultimately, a more balanced life.
