My experience consists of the Juvenile Justice System, Department of Social Services, Department of Corrections, Private Mental Health Agencies and Georgia’s Psychiatric Hospitals.
As a clinical professional, I work with you to identify your strengths to increase your self-esteem; and abilities to produce positive interpersonal experiences. Through best practice therapy models, New Beginnings Behavioral Counseling aims to support and facilitate personal growth and development, to assist you with coping with more serious mental health concerns. My goal is to help you uncover your true potential which leads to a more satisfying and fulfilling life.

By applying complementary therapy approaches and techniques, we will unearth long-standing behavior patterns and negative perceptions; that may impede your opportunity of experiencing a more fulfilling and meaningful life.
