COUNSELING PHILOSOPHY: Life can often feel messy and chaotic. My passion is to help bring order out of chaos to facilitate growth and peace. My goal is shalom, the Hebrew word for peace, wholeness and universal flourishing. Operating from a strengths-based perspective, I work to create a safe environment and partner with clients to help empower and equip them to face life’s challenges, while creating meaning for themselves along the way. BACKGROUND & EXPERIENCE: I have a great love for coming alongside people to help them move towards becoming the best version of themselves. From my time as a reading tutor for elementary students, a mentor for young Latina girls, a health and wellness workshop leader for senior citizens in public housing in D.C., a collegiate tutor for student-athletes, a discipler and campus minister with The Navigators, and an academic advisor for students at UGA, my whole professional career has centered around helping others maximize their strengths and flourish in their own unique ways and contexts. My heart is to help individuals, couples and families experience rich health, wholeness and inner-healing. EDUCATION: I earned my Bachelor of Science in Family Science with concentrations in human development and counseling from the University of Maryland in 2010, and I earned my Masters in Social Work and a certificate in Marriage and Family Therapy from the University of Georgia in 2018. I have been a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) since 2021. SERVICES: I currently offer 50-minute individual, couples and family counseling sessions for adults ages 18+ from my office (524 Hill Street, Athens, GA 30606), as well as virtually via a secure Telehealth system.
