I put my clients’ best interests at the center of our work. I take time to truly listen so you feel heard, respected, and supported, and I focus on adding real value to each session—not just talking in circles. With extensive training and multiple certifications, I’m able to connect with people from many different backgrounds and meet you exactly where you are.
I want you to feel truly seen, heard, and understood. I will provide a safe and non-judgmental space for you to explore your thoughts and feelings so that you can move forward towards your life goals.
I received my master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Western Carolina University. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Georgia, and a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) in North Carolina.
Maybe you can't quite name what's wrong. Things feel off, the worry won't settle, or a low mood has overstayed its welcome, and you haven't put a label on any of it. That's a perfectly good place to begin. I work with teens (16 and up), adults, and couples who sense something needs to change and are ready to look at it honestly. You'll find me direct and warm, willing to ask the questions that actually matter, and not afraid to bring some humor into the room, because the work doesn't have to feel heavy every single minute.
Greeting!
I am a seasoned professional continuing to study and learn the most impactful ways to lessen human suffering and promote self love in all. Beginning my practice decades ago as a combat trauma therapist, I have found myself dealing with the traumas of early life and relationships with most my adolescent and adult clients. I believe counseling can offer many “tools”, to cope, however, I prefer to help people heal so that coping becomes an infrequent need.
I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who provides a supportive and collaborative space for individuals seeking help with emotional stress, life transitions, and relationship concerns. My approach is compassionate, practical, and tailored to each person’s needs.
I work with clients experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma-related stress, and adjustment challenges. Therapy sessions focus on building coping skills, increasing self-understanding, and helping clients feel more grounded and confident in their daily lives.
I hold a Master of Social Work and have experience in clinical and medical settings. I also supervise clinicians within a group practice, ensuring clients receive thoughtful, ethical, and well-supported care.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Georgia
Searching for therapists in Georgia starts with finding someone whose training fits your needs. Across the state, therapy options vary between larger cities, suburbs, and rural areas, so it helps to look closely at each therapist’s specialties and approach. If you are looking for support with anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, trauma, or life transitions, review whether a therapist lists experience with those concerns. You can also look for approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy, eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, acceptance and commitment therapy, or trauma-informed care.
Your search may look different in Atlanta, Savannah, Augusta, or other parts of Georgia. Some people prefer in-person appointments close to home or work, while others choose virtual sessions to fit care into their schedule. Beyond specialty, consider whether a therapist is accepting new clients, offers appointment times that work for you, and provides a free phone consultation. Reading therapist bios before booking can help you understand how they describe their style, what a first session may include, and whether their background matches what you want from therapy.
The cost of mental health care in Georgia varies, but using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Headway helps you search for Georgia therapists who are accepting new clients, verify your insurance, and see your estimated out-of-pocket cost before you book. Nationally, Headway works with over 100 insurance plans, and your exact coverage depends on your plan and location. You can browse therapists, compare profiles, and book directly when you are ready.
