I have experience working with individuals and couples. My areas of expertise include trauma, substance use, sexual and domestic violence, depression, and anxiety. I am trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy and would be happy to explore this option with clients if appropriate.

 I believe in taking a holistic approach with a client when starting therapy in order to gain a full picture of the difficulties one is experiencing and adapting to a client’s needs and desires as their time in therapy progresses. Taking the first step to come to therapy can be intimidating so creating a safe and open space to process is my hope throughout the therapeutic process.

I am a graduate of Virginia Commonwealth University where I earned my Masters of Rehabilitation and Mental Health Counseling as well as a Bachelors of Psychology and Religious Studies. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in Virginia and am working under supervision to obtain my LPC in Georgia. I am also credentialed as a National Certified Counselor.

I am honored to be on the Waters Edge Counseling team and serving the Savannah community. I look forward to meeting with you!

I love to help children, teenagers, and college students work through life’s challenges and struggles. Anxiety and depression are real issues that young people face, especially during major life events and transitions. I enjoy providing the tools and support they need to work through their emotions in order to help them succeed in all areas of their lives. In addition, I know that oftentimes parents need extra support and direction as their children and loved ones sort through their struggles. I not only treat the client but also help the family to find resources and skills to assist their child.

Based on the client’s presenting concern, I create a specific plan to address each problem. I give treatment based on the needs and age of the client. For example, I use play therapy techniques to help children resolve internal conflicts that create unwanted symptoms. I find that children and adolescents enjoy art therapy and storytelling to help accomplish treatment goals. I have been known to pull out the sand tray with younger children. With college students, I focus more on talk therapy and give specific skills to help face challenges. My goal in therapy is to create a safe space that enables clients to explore difficult feelings and help increase their resilience and sense of self.

I completed my Masters in Education at the University of Cambridge in England where I trained as an Integrative Counselor and Psychotherapist. The foundation of my work is Person-Centered, but I also use other therapeutic techniques such as Play Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Dialectic Behavioral Therapy (DBT).  I am currently a counselor under supervision as I pursue my license in the state of Georgia. My work experience includes working in a mental health treatment center and working in high schools with students. Because I grew up and worked in one of the most diverse cities in the world (London), I have a lot of experience working with families and young people from diverse backgrounds.

I moved to Savannah from London to be with my husband who is local and serves in the National Guard. I am excited to be part of Water's Edge Counseling and honored to work alongside such extraordinary professionals who serve the community so well.
