Anxiety and depression therapists and psychiatrists in Watkinsville, GA

Recovery doesn't happen all at once. Whether you're struggling with substance use, anxiety, trauma, or the emotional weight of life's challenges, taking the first step can feel overwhelming. You may be tired of feeling stuck, carrying guilt, or wondering if lasting change is really possible. You don't have to navigate that journey alone. For more than 20 years, I've partnered with individuals experiencing substance use and addiction and anxiety, helping them rebuild confidence, strengthen resilience, and create healthier, more fulfilling lives. I believe meaningful healing begins with feeling understood, supported, and empowered, and my goal is to provide a compassionate space where lasting recovery and personal growth can take root.

I’m a LCSW with a background in behavioral health and trauma care, including supporting service members and veterans. I work with adults who may look like they’re holding it all together while carrying stress, anxiety, past experiences, or major life changes. I provide a warm, supportive space to help you feel understood and create meaningful change.

I believe therapy should be a place where you don't have to have it all together. I work with adults navigating anxiety, depression, burnout, perfectionism, life transitions, relationship challenges, and trauma. Many of my clients are high-achieving professionals who are used to being the strong one for everyone else but are ready to prioritize their own well-being.

I have worked in the helping profession since I was a teenager. I have always known that my passion was working with people. I obtained Master's in Social Work from Kennesaw State University in 2011 and my LCSW in 2017.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with over 21 years experience in an educational setting, and an additional eleven years in private practice and telehealth. I have a diverse portfolio of experiences. I believe that people have the natural ability to heal themselves with support. We will work together to discover new insights and perspectives in an open, supportive, and non-judgmental environment.

I provide a connected, supportive space where you can explore what’s weighing on you and feel genuinely understood. Using an eclectic approach, I tailor therapy to your unique needs, helping you gain clarity and move toward meaningful, lasting change. Many people come to therapy because something in their life no longer feels sustainable—whether it’s anxiety, relationship strain, loss, overwhelm, or simply a sense of being stuck. My goal is to provide a space where you feel genuinely seen, heard, and understood without judgment. I believe meaningful change begins with a strong therapeutic connection in a safe environment.

I’m a mental health counselor and clinical supervisor passionate about helping people reconnect with themselves, strengthen their emotional well‐being, and build sustainable coping skills. As a dualy licensed practitoner, I have acquired extensive experience in both direct practice and counselor training, I bring a blend of clinical expertise and real‐world understanding to the therapy space.
