I received my masters degree and doctorate in Clinical Psychology from Miami University in Oxford, Ohio. I have over 25 years experience supporting clients with various concerns including anxiety, depression, coping with chronic health conditions, trauma, and life transitions. I am the founder of ALIGHT Counseling and Consulting. I am here to support you.  ALIGHT Counseling and Consulting provides a space to restore, discover, and shine brightly. As a verb, Alight can mean to come to rest or settle. It can also mean to illuminate or shine brightly. I create a space where a client can do both. Clients are invited to settle, rest, restore and be themselves in an accepting environment. In this supportive space, you can discover things about yourself that may hinder you from shining as brightly as you would like. Through our work together you can learn strategies, notice relationship patterns and decide which things you might want to do differently so that you move forward, shine brighter and live your best life no matter what situations you face.

I have delivered over 100 workshops on various topics to promote mental well being and provided consultations and customized workshops for athletic teams at both the high school and collegiate levels, with experience working across a diverse range of teams. 

Affiliations and Certifications

 I am an adjunct faculty member at Emory University School of Medicine and Morehouse School of Medicine.

I am a member of the American Psychological Association and the Georgia Psychological Association. 

I have professional certification in College Student Well-being Trauma and Resilience.

My mission is to provide high quality services that are respectful of individual differences, comprehensive, and empower clients with the skills they need to move forward in their lives. I specialize in helping clients find peace in the midst of their circumstances, whether it be a chronic health condition, relationship issues, trauma, depression, anxiety, burnout or transitioning from one phase of life to another. I believe that we can learn strategies to support ourselves during difficult times that help us to navigate and move in a direction that brings us more emotional clarity, peace, and joy. I meet clients where they are and listen to their story. I use a collaborative approach to treatment, working from the understanding that you are the expert of your own life. I tailor my approach to meet your specific needs.

My practice is 100% virtual so that you can receive support in your own environment.   If this sounds like how you would like to work with a therapist then send me a message to request a free 10-15 minute phone consultation to see if my approach aligns with your needs.
