Therapist

Virtual • Cumming, GA


We all struggle at times in life with various challenges in relationships, life transitions and events which stop us in our tracks. Having a safe place to process these struggles is what I aim to provide my clients. It takes great courage to engage in therapy and I hope to build on that strength to help each individual reach their full potential. With over 20 years of social work experience in a variety of settings, I have learned to meet clients where they are at through empathic listening and active engagement. You determine your goals and I give you the tools to achieve them.


I believe the foundation of counseling is established in the therapeutic relationship. My goal is to provide you with a safe, supportive and nonjudgemental environment to process life's challenges and restore a sense of hope for the future. I utilize solution focused and strength based perspectives along with cognitive behavioral and mindfulness techniques.

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.
