Becoming a therapist was inspired by those who helped me navigate my own personal strugglesI proudly identify as the first people in my family to graduate from high school. I connect best with those who are seeking connection and understanding. I enjoy working with "busy brains" and deep feelers often those navigating anxiety, a harsh relationship with themselves, or feeling unsatisfied in their daily life. My casual demeanor and practice is based on my values of authenticity and balance. My professional career started out in outdoor recreation and education, where I led group development programs and later worked in wilderness therapy—a role that deepened my interest in helping others grow through challenge and connection. My skills and passions have since expanded by working in community practice, group private practice, and education.

Happy patient looking away

Find the right therapist for you

Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Athens

Finding the right therapist in Athens, GA starts with getting clear on what you're looking for. Think about the concerns you want to address — whether that's anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, or something else — and consider whether you'd prefer a therapist, counselor, or psychiatrist. Therapists and counselors (such as LPCs, LCSWs, and LMFTs) primarily provide talk therapy, while psychiatrists are medical doctors who can diagnose conditions and prescribe medication.

From there, practical details matter. Look for a licensed provider who specializes in your area of concern and offers appointment times that work for your schedule. Many providers in Athens offer both in-person and virtual sessions, so you can choose the format that fits your life. Reading a provider's bio before booking can help you understand their approach and decide if they're a good match.

Therapy in Athens can be expensive without coverage, but using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce what you pay out of pocket. On Headway, you can enter your insurance details to see estimated session costs before you book, and many patients pay as low as $0 per visit. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, making it easier to find a therapist who fits both your needs and your budget.
