Life can feel overwhelming when you're facing anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, chronic stress, or major life transitions. You may find yourself feeling stuck, emotionally exhausted, disconnected from others, or unsure how to move forward. I work with adults and older adults navigating anxiety, depression, stress management concerns, women's issues, relationship difficulties, anger management challenges, and life changes that can impact emotional well-being. With more than 12 years of counseling experience, I help clients better understand the thoughts, emotions, and patterns that may be contributing to their struggles while developing practical tools for lasting change. Whether you're coping with personal challenges, relationship stress, self-doubt, or feeling overwhelmed by life's demands, therapy can provide a supportive space to gain clarity, build confidence, and create healthier ways of responding to difficult situations.

I am a licensed clinical social worker and master addiction counselor with over 27 years experience supporting individuals through life's challenges. I am committed to creating a safe, supportive space where you feel heard and respected. Together, we problem solve to better understand options and help shift towards the life you want to create.
My goal is to help you uncover your true potential and lead a life that is worth celebrating. While we can't change the past, we can work together to understand and resolve the challenges you are facing. In using different therapy approaches and techniques, we will consider behavior patterns or negative perceptions that may be holding you back from having a fulfilling life. Whether you need support in a challenging situation or want to move your life in a new direction, I look forward to working with you to achieve your goals. I offer EMDR Therapy, Trauma-Focused CBT, DBT, Play Therapy, and more.
Anxiety that won't let up. A relationship that keeps hitting the same wall. Grief that shows up at the worst moments. After 24 years working with people through some of the hardest chapters of their lives, I know that reaching out takes real courage — and that it's almost never the wrong call. My clients tell me our sessions feel less like being analyzed and more like being genuinely heard. Whatever you've been carrying, you don't have to figure it out alone.

Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.
Searching for therapists in Cumming starts with finding someone whose experience matches what you want support with. Therapists may focus on concerns like anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, trauma, or life transitions. As you compare options, look for specialties and approaches that fit your needs, such as cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, or trauma-informed care. A therapist’s profile can also show what sessions may be like, including their style, focus areas, and experience with specific concerns.
In a smaller city like Cumming, local in-person options may be more limited than in nearby areas such as Alpharetta, Buford, Dawsonville, or the broader North Atlanta area. Virtual therapy can expand your choices while still connecting you with a therapist licensed in Georgia. As you narrow your search, consider appointment availability, scheduling flexibility, whether the therapist is accepting new clients, and whether a free phone consultation is offered. Reading bios before booking can help you compare communication style, therapy approach, and practical fit.
Therapy in Cumming can be expensive without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and make ongoing care more affordable. Headway helps you search for therapists who match your preferences, confirm what insurance coverage is available in your area, and view upfront cost estimates before you book. You can browse therapists, review bios, compare availability, and book directly when you’re ready.
