About

Welcome!

Hello, I am a clinical psychologist and the owner of Kinship Psychotherapy in Atlanta, GA. I am a trauma specialist, but I also work with adults to resolve symptoms of depression, anxiety, burnout, relationship issues, stress, and life dissatisfaction. I help those looking to increase their self-esteem, self-control, confidence, communication skills, resilience, and overall well-being. I utilize a process-oriented approach tailored to each client to provide comprehensive treatment with long-term results. Starting therapy can feel overwhelming, but I can help make it easier. Together, we'll set clear goals, discover your potential for growth, build self-understanding, and forge a path toward lasting wellness. With compassionate guidance and expert support, you'll gain the tools you need to confidently reach your goals. EDUCATION AND EXPERIENCE I attended Georgia State University for my undergraduate degree, where I researched the risk factors and psychological consequences of interpersonal violence. I continued my studies at the University of Tennessee, earning an M. A. and Ph.D. in clinical psychology, focusing on conducting trauma research and therapy. I then pursued a predoctoral internship at The Institute of Living and a postdoctoral fellowship at Emory University School of Medicine, where I worked with trauma survivors at the Grady Hospital inpatient unit and the Nia Project. In 2021, I opened my own private practice and have been honored to help those suffering from a wide variety of issues, including trauma. Currently, I provide individual therapy in private practice, in addition to my role as an Adjunct Assistant Professor at the Emory University School of Medicine.
