I am a Licensed Professional Counselor providing video therapy to clients located in Georgia, Alabama, and Tennessee. I provide individual therapy, relationship therapy, sex therapy, and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR).

​

I am not like many therapists you may encounter, I am sex-positive, inclusive, and non-judgmental, there is nothing you can say to me that will make me judge you negatively. If there is something about your history, family of origin, gender identity, sexual orientation, sexual desires, sexual practices or relationship style that you are afraid will not be accepted by a therapist then you have come to the right place. I created SAGE Mental Wellness Center to provide a safe space for all clients but especially those who may not be welcomed at other agencies. I have completed extensive training on sexual trauma, sex therapy, sexual health, sexuality, gender identities, sexual orientations, kink, and all non-monogamous relationship styles. I have also presented at conferences on sexual trauma, and LGBTQ+ clients in therapy.

​

I don’t practice from a pathological perspective which means that your actual diagnosis, if you have one, is less important to me than what you, the client, identify as your biggest issue or issues. I will also not blame your issues on your sexuality, gender, kinks, or relationship styles. Most often problems in any of those categories are not the client’s problems but someone other than the client has a problems with the client’s participation in any of those categories I do not practice from any singular theoretical orientation. Instead I utilize an integration of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Brief Solution Focused Therapy, Mindfulness Based Therapies, Trauma Informed therapy, Systems Theory, Existential Therapy, and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing.  I am not the type of therapist who just sits and listens to your problems without offering you any type of assistance. I am more of a directive therapist, my goal is to reduce or eliminate symptoms while teaching you skills that you can use in future situations. I will teach you a lot of skills with the hope that you will no longer need me. It is not my goal to keep you in therapy for the rest of your life. Not every treatment or coping skill will work for all people but I will work with you to find the techniques or skills that best fit you and your needs.

     Hello to the person reading this! I'm glad that you're taking the first steps toward healing and reaching out for help. Life inevitably throws at us challenges and tribulations and it's easy to convince ourselves that we need to go through them alone. My approach to counseling is creating a non-judgmental, laid-back atmosphere where you feel safe to be yourself, share, and process your experiences. In life we often find ourselves reconciling the expectations placed upon us by society and ourselves, and I think balancing these expectations with our true, authentic selves is critical in order to live healthier, more fulfilling lives

I work from an existential, humanistic viewpoint that emphasizes your unique qualities and prioritizes the journey toward increased self-awareness that must precipitate change. I have experience working across ages including children, adolescents, and adults in various modalities.  specialize in trauma-informed counseling, having worked closely with survivors of sexual abuse and domestic violence. I'm adept in dealing with matters ranging from Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, LGBTQIA+ issues, Depression, Anxiety, ADHD, Anger/Emotional Regulation, and Family Conflict.

Life can be hard enough at times without having to go through it alone. I believe that finding a therapist you feel comfortable with and trust is critically important, and I feel privileged to be that person for my clients.
