Hi, I’m Hope, a Licensed Professional Counselor and National Certified Counselor with a passion for helping women navigate life’s challenges and find healing. I received my Bachelor’s degree from the University of Georgia (Go Dawgs!) and my Master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. I’ve always had a heart for supporting people, and I feel truly honored to walk alongside individuals on their personal journeys.

I started Heart Shine Counseling, LLC because I wanted to create a practice that’s different—a place where women’s mental health is the priority. My goal is to empower women, providing a space where you can feel safe, seen, and understood. Life can be overwhelming, and we all need a place to drop the weight we’re carrying and just be our authentic selves. That’s what Heart Shine is all about.

When you step into my office, I want you to feel like you’re in a space that’s just for you. I try to bring my authentic self to each session because, at the end of the day, I’m a human connecting with another human. So come kick your feet up, have a cup of tea, and let’s talk. Whether it’s managing stress, working through past trauma, or finding your balance again, I’m here to support you.

When I’m not seeing clients, you can usually catch me cheering on my Georgia Bulldogs (Did I mention…Go DAWGS!) in the fall, hopping on a plane to somewhere sunny (preferably with a beach), or spending time with family and friends. And yes, I’m a bit obsessed with corgis, although I don’t have one yet—hopefully soon!

You deserve to feel empowered, supported, and safe, and I’m here to help you shine. Let’s take this journey together.

With kindness and compassion,

Hope
