"You aren’t defined by your past—you are the author of what comes next."

Life can often feel like a story we no longer want to be in. Whether you are navigating the complexities of anxiety, trauma, or the unique pressures of adolescence, I am here to help you rewrite the narrative. My approach is rooted in Systems Theory and Solution-Focused Therapy, meaning we look at the big picture of your life while building practical tools for immediate growth.

I work with individuals, couples, and families to create a space that is warm, welcoming, and entirely yours. Together, we will turn "feeling stuck" into a journey of empowerment. I’m a proud graduate of the University of West GA and National University, and I’m ready to help you start your next chapter

Find the right LGBTQ-friendly therapy provider for you

Headway makes it easier to connect with affirming therapists who understand your identity — from finding the right therapist, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Fayetteville

Finding an LGBTQIA+-affirming therapist in Fayetteville, GA, starts with identifying what matters most to you. You may be looking for support with anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, or identity exploration — or you may want a provider who simply understands your experience without requiring explanation. Look for a licensed provider, such as an LPC, LCSW, psychologist, or psychiatrist, who lists LGBTQIA+ care as a specialty and describes their affirming approach in their bio.

Fayetteville is part of the south-metro Atlanta area, and local availability for affirming providers can vary. Virtual sessions can expand your options significantly, connecting you with licensed providers across Georgia who specialize in queer-affirming psychotherapy, gender identity, and LGBTQIA+ relationship concerns. Whether you prefer in-person or virtual care, reading a provider's full profile can help you understand their style and decide if they're the right match before booking.

Therapy in the greater Atlanta area can be expensive without insurance. Using in-network benefits is one of the most reliable ways to reduce what you pay per session. On Headway, you can enter your insurance information 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 affirming provider who fits both your needs and your budget.
