Meet Our Team

As the Founder and Owner of Creative Family Counseling and Coaching in Buford, GA, I am a warm, insightful, and empowering therapist passionate about making the counseling process a positive, healing experience. With over 26 years of experience as a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC), I specialize in helping children (ages 3+), teens, young adults, and parents navigate life’s challenges with confidence and hope. I create a safe, welcoming space where clients feel seen, supported, and encouraged to grow. Through creative approaches like play therapy, sandtray therapy, and parent coaching, I guide families to heal, reconnect, and thrive.

I specialize in coaching teen boys and men who are navigating pressure, transitions, performance struggles, and identity challenges. With a relatable, motivational, and caring approach, I help clients build confidence, find direction, and create forward momentum in their lives. I am a Professional Certified Coach (PCC) through the International Coaching Federation, a Certified Advanced Christian Life Coach (CACLC), a Certified Sports Psychology Coach (CSPC) through the Spencer Institute, and a Certified Personal Trainer (CPT) through NFPT. I am also currently pursuing my Master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling at Liberty University, with specialized training in mental health coaching and addiction recovery.

I am a warm, compassionate, and collaborative counselor who enjoys working with pre-teens, teens, and adults. I believe every person has a story worth understanding, and I strive to create a safe, welcoming space where clients feel seen, heard, and supported. Whether I am working with a child struggling with anxiety or confidence, a teen navigating identity or change, or an adult facing stress, parenting, career demands, grief, or a difficult season of life, I help clients better understand themselves, recognize their strengths, and move forward with greater confidence and hope.

Bear is our new Therapy-Pup in training. He is gentle, affectionate, and full of personality. He loves greeting clients, cuddling on the couch, watching children play, and occasionally showing off his favorite toys. His presence brings smiles, comfort, and calm energy to every session.
