After spending 12 years working in the legal field, having 3 children, and ensuring my son with special needs had the support he needed to reach his potential, which he did beautifully, I decided to follow my (other) passion. Went back to school in 2016 to earn my Masters in Social Work, which allowed me to follow my dream - helping people find their voice, their identify, their peace, their power and their ability to grow.

Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Watkinsville is part of the broader Athens-Clarke and Oconee County community, so you may also have access to providers in nearby Athens who offer virtual sessions.
When evaluating a therapist, credentials matter. Look for licensed professionals such as LPCs, LCSWs, psychologists, or psychiatrists who are trained in evidence-based approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), EMDR, or Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). Reading a provider's bio can help you understand their style and decide whether they're a good match. Many providers on Headway offer a free phone consultation so you can connect before booking your first session.
