About Me

I am a generalist clinician and treat adults (age 18+) presenting with a range of issues. I am originally from Georgia and obtained my undergraduate degree (B.A.) in psychology from Georgia State University. From there I continued to pursue psychology, eventually earning my Master (M.S.) and Doctoral (Ph.D.) degrees in Clinical Psychology from The University of Tennessee, and completed a predoctoral clinical internship at The Institute of Living at Hartford Hospital. I later completed a postdoctoral fellowship at Emory University School of Medicine in Health Service Psychology. Currently, I provide individual therapy in private practice and serve as an Adjunct Assistant Professor at Emory University School of Medicine. In addition, I am currently in my second year as a clinical candidate at the Emory University Psychoanalytic Institute, gaining additional training and expertise in psychoanalytic psychotherapy.

Philosophy

Psychotherapy is a collaborative process leading to meaningful awareness and change. Building insight into the way in which you view and engage with yourself, your experiences, and the world around you provides a road map to use when navigating all aspects of life. In therapy, I aim to increase your sense of who you are, what you want for yourself, and what is getting in the way. Through these efforts, people often find that their distress diminishes, mood increases, and meaning and purpose in life becomes clearer.
