I’ve been serving individuals, families, and communities in behavioral health for over 20 years. My experience spans community mental health, substance abuse treatment, employee assistance programs, probation and parole systems, juvenile courts, and crisis intervention settings.

I’ve worked closely with individuals navigating depression, anxiety, substance use, life transitions, court involvement, workplace stress, and family conflict. I understand how overwhelming it can feel when multiple systems — work, family, legal, or financial — are weighing on you at once.

Many of my clients come to me feeling stuck, exhausted, or unsure where to start. You don’t have to have everything figured out before reaching out. My role is to help you sort through what feels heavy, clarify what needs attention first, and create a practical plan for change.

I bring both clinical expertise and real-world understanding. I’ve collaborated with courts, DFCS, probation officers, and corporate employers — so I understand the pressures that can impact your mental health from all angles.

Being human can be hard under the best of circumstances. When anxiety, panic, obsessive thoughts, repetitive behaviors, and difficulties in interpersonal relationships are added, the challenges can be daunting. It is a true honor to be able to accompany people on their journey towards better navigating the challenges of life with greater calm, curiosity, compassion, and courage, as well as deeper connections with those around them. As a Professional Counselor, I have the privilege of working with clients to discover their path towards a meaningful, authentic, and rewarding life.


I come to the field of counseling after 15 years in the corporate world. My experience working with individuals with high anxiety have informed my interest in helping people overcome difficulties and achieve their potential. My areas of experience are: Anxiety and Relationships, which are often related, and other times completely independent of each other.


On the Anxiety side, I specialize in OCD, trichotillomania, skin picking, GAD, panic, trauma, and hoarding. I am passionate about working with individuals who suffer from Body Focused Repetitive Behaviors – a condition with which I personally struggled for over 15 years. I am equally passionate about working with people through their intimate relationships.

Frequently asked questions

Therapy Chair

Happy patient looking away

Find an expert who truly understands OCD

Headway helps you manage obsessive-compulsive disorder with expert-guided support — from finding the right therapist or psychiatrist, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Augusta

Finding the right OCD therapist in Augusta, GA starts with understanding what kind of care you need. Exposure and response prevention (ERP) is one therapeutic approach that may be used for obsessive-compulsive disorder, and a licensed provider can help determine what approach may be appropriate. Other therapeutic approaches may also be considered, depending on an individual's needs and a licensed provider's assessment. If medication management is part of your care plan, a psychiatrist can work alongside your therapist. Look for a licensed provider — such as an LPC, psychologist, or psychiatrist — who has specific experience with OCD, and read their bio to learn about their approach before booking.

Augusta is a mid-size metro, and the number of local OCD specialists can be limited compared to larger cities. Virtual appointments expand your options significantly — many licensed providers on Headway offer virtual sessions to patients across Georgia, so you can connect with an OCD specialist from your home in Augusta, Evans, Martinez, or anywhere in the surrounding area.

Therapy in Augusta can be expensive out of pocket, but using your in-network insurance benefits is one of the most reliable ways to lower your costs. 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 an OCD therapist who is both the right clinical fit and covered by your plan.
