I enjoy working with both children and adults. I believe therapy should be a safe place to help you heal and grow. I have training in multiple theories and methodologies to help make counseling a more personalized journey for each client.

I was born and raised in Chicago, Illinois, and moved to Savannah in 2019. I received my Master of Social Work from Dominican University in River Forest, Illinois.

I wanted to become a therapist after being inspired by the therapist I had growing up. With an absent father and a home environment of conflict and dysregulated emotions, I was struggling with worries, lack of boundaries, and not finding my voice. I reached a level of major depression including self-harm. I was able to reach a point of stabilization after seeing a therapist who provided me with a feeling of safety, patience, and an environment of non-judgment. I knew I wanted to provide others with that same safe environment to help them heal.

I am fully licensed in both Georgia and South Carolina. In my twelve years of practice, I worked in medical social work and hospice. I have experience working with individuals with disabilities, homelessness, and addictions.  I work with children, adults, and adolescents. I offer a personalized therapeutic experience utilizing multiple therapeutic interventions and theories to help fit your goals and needs. I am fully trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), and in my final phase of becoming a Registered Play Therapist. My goal is to walk with you on your journey and support you in reaching your treatment goals.

When I am not at work, I enjoy spending time with my husband and two daughters. We enjoy spending time outdoors, trying new restaurants around Savannah, or completing some home repair and fixer-upper projects around our home.
