Neuro-Relational Depth Therapist | Trauma & Addiction Specialist I don’t believe in "by-the-book" therapy. True, sustainable change doesn’t come from a pre-packaged worksheet or a generic protocol. It comes from a deep, rigorous conversation and a relationship built on genuine trust.

I bridge the gap between deep emotional exploration and the hard science of the brain. My work is designed for the the individual who wants to understand the "why" behind their patterns to effectively change the "how" of their life.

By focusing on regulation over labels, we move away from shame and toward clarity. My goal is to help you understand exactly what is happening in your brain and body so you can regain your equilibrium.

Happy patient looking away

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 Savannah

Finding an LGBTQIA+-affirming therapist in Savannah starts with identifying what kind of care you need. Whether you're looking for help with anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, gender identity, or something else, a provider with experience in affirming care can make a meaningful difference. Affirming providers respect and validate your identity as a foundation for the work you do together — you can focus on your goals rather than educating your therapist.

Savannah and the broader Chatham County area have a range of licensed providers, including licensed professional counselors (LPCs), clinical social workers (LCSWs), psychologists, and psychiatrists. Reading a provider's bio before booking can help you understand their approach, specialties, and whether they feel like a good match. Many providers also offer a free phone consultation so you can connect before committing to a full session.

Therapy in Savannah can be expensive without coverage, but using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce what you pay. On Headway, you can enter your insurance information 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 — making it easier to find a provider who is both affirming and affordable.
