I believe everyone deserves a safe, supportive place to talk through life’s challenges. For the past 19 years, I have worked with individuals and families navigating difficult moments, helping them find clarity, healing, and renewed strength. I work with clients of all ages and backgrounds, and I have a special passion for supporting people through grief and major life transitions.

Life can bring unexpected changes such as the loss of a loved one, relationship shifts, career changes, or other transitions that leave you feeling overwhelmed or unsure of the next step. My goal is to provide a compassionate space where you can process your experiences, feel truly heard, and begin to move forward at your own pace.

Throughout my career, I have supported clients facing grief, anxiety, stress, and life adjustments. I strive to create a warm, non-judgmental environment where you can be yourself and feel supported as we work together toward healing and growth.

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 Macon

Finding the right therapist in Macon starts with getting clear on what you're looking for. Consider whether you need support for a specific concern — such as anxiety, depression, trauma, or relationship challenges — or whether you're looking for general mental health care. Providers in the Macon area include licensed professional counselors (LPCs), licensed clinical social workers (LCSWs), marriage and family therapists (LMFTs), psychologists, and psychiatrists who can prescribe medication. Reading a provider's bio can help you understand their approach, specialties, and style before you reach out.

Macon and the surrounding Middle Georgia area — including Warner Robins, Byron, and Perry — have both in-person and virtual providers available. Virtual sessions with a Georgia-licensed provider can be a convenient option if you have a busy schedule or limited transportation. When comparing providers, look at their areas of focus, the types of therapy they offer (such as CBT, DBT, or trauma-informed care), and whether they accept your insurance plan.

Therapy in Macon can be expensive without coverage, but using in-network insurance benefits is one of the most reliable ways to reduce what you pay per session. On Headway, you can enter your insurance details to see estimated session costs before you book. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, and many patients pay as low as $0 per visit. Your out-of-pocket cost depends on your specific plan, provider, and location.
