If you find yourself constantly battling feelings of anxiety or sadness, wrestling with perfectionism, feeling burdened by the pervasive influence of diet culture and the need to do all the things at the pace set by social media, I am the therapist for you!
You may also struggle with relationship issues, particularly in the realm of dating and attachment. If you find yourself repeatedly drawn to partners who reinforce feelings of inadequacy or if you have difficulties with forming secure attachments, I want to help you cultivate most secure relationship with yourself, yet.
having a good, secure relationship with yourself will prepare you for the fulfilling life and love you deserve.
“I love seeing others transform and become at peace with themselves and their lives! I believe that when individuals heal they will create healthier families and communities.” — Jess
my background
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in the state of Georgia and have over 7 years of extensive experience working with clients who struggle with eating disorders and severe negative body image issues in residential and outpatient settings. I received my Bachelor’s at North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University with a Sociology major and a Psychology minor. I then went on to complete my Master’s at Liberty University in Clinical Mental Health Counseling.
I enjoy helping individuals discover their self-worth, and navigate through life transitions, unhealthy relationship patterns, and trauma by supporting growth in deeper self-awareness, exposing blind spots, and creating safety in their relationship with themselves while understanding their relationship with their body, food, and faith.
I am a Southern girl, raised in a small town in North Carolina and now living in Atlanta, GA. As an Enneagram 1 wing 2, I feel most inspired by helping others be resilient with compassion while healing. I also feel most alive when going out to brunch with the girls, traveling, and trying new foods.

As you progress through therapy, you will embark on a journey of self-exploration and discovery, unpacking deeper into the underlying factors contributing to your struggles with self-esteem, body image, and relationships. Together we will unpack the complex emotions, past experiences, and societal influences that have shaped your beliefs and perceptions.
-
Heal
As you actively engage in the therapeutic process and implement newfound insights and skills into your life, you will experience profound healing and transformation. With increased self-awareness, self-compassion, and resilience, you navigate life's challenges with greater ease and confidence. You develop healthier perspectives on self-esteem, body image, and relationships.
My approach
I create a safe and non-judgmental space for you to release anxiety, develop deeper awareness, and gain an understanding of what has kept you stuck in unhealthy cycles and negative self-perceptions. For clients desiring faith-based treatment, I help them explore their relationship with God and faith where they feel disconnected instead of living free.
I transform my client's lives by helping them understand their own needs and how to care for them rather than only focusing on others around them. Together, with care and empathy, we will explore the roots of your anxiety, the dynamics of your friendships and relationships, and the sources of your self-worth.
