My Story
I grew up in Kennesaw, Georgia, in a household that valued lively debates and academic curiosity. My family dynamic was unique—just me, my mom, and my older sister—so I became independent early on. My grandfather, a prosecuting attorney for Cobb County, was a huge influence in my life.
Watching him go from a high-functioning, brilliant mind to someone needing round-the-clock care due to ALS was both heartbreaking and formative. That experience led me toward a career in healthcare and, eventually, therapy.
In my professional journey, I’ve worked with clients from all walks of life—addressing trauma, addiction, family dynamics, and more. My passion lies in helping women navigate challenges with independence, boundaries, and family relationships, particularly the often-complicated dynamics between mothers and daughters. Over time, I’ve come to see how our emotional well-being directly affects our physical health.
This belief is woven into both my personal life, where emotional intelligence is a core value in my household, and my therapy practice, where I take a holistic approach to healing.
The shift to telehealth during the pandemic revealed just how impactful accessible therapy can be. It lowered barriers to entry and opened the door to reaching more people in need.
Through techniques like EMDR, I’ve witnessed incredible transformations as clients process and release their trauma. If there’s one message I hope to share, it’s this: You are enough. You don’t have to do it all alone. Sometimes, you just need a little help—and that’s where I come in.
