Welcome. I’m glad you’re here. Reaching out for therapy can feel intimidating, especially when you or your child are carrying big emotions, past experiences, or relationship stress.

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.

If your child is struggling with big feelings, hard behaviors, or school-related stress, you have found a safe place. I have worked alongside kids, teens, and their families since

2005, creating a playful, welcoming space where they can finally feel understood. I draw from play therapy, AutPlay, and creative approaches tailored to your child's

personality and developmental stage. I also partner with caregivers, teachers, and other supports so your child is not doing this work alone. My goal is to help them

understand themselves better, build confidence, and feel more in control of their emotions and choices.

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 Acworth

Searching for therapists in Acworth starts with knowing what kind of support fits your needs. You may want help with anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, work stress, or life transitions. As you compare therapists, look for training, specialties, and therapy styles that match what you want to focus on. A therapist’s profile can show whether they use approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy, trauma-informed care, or couples therapy, and can help you decide who may be a strong fit.

Acworth is a smaller market, so local in-person appointment options may be more limited than in nearby areas like Dallas, Kennesaw, or Marietta. Virtual therapy can expand your search while still letting you work with a Georgia-licensed therapist. As you narrow your options, consider appointment availability, whether the therapist is accepting new clients, session format, and whether a free phone consultation is offered. Reading bios before booking can also help you understand a therapist’s communication style and what to expect in session.

Therapy in Acworth can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand your out-of-pocket estimate before you book. Headway helps you compare therapists who match your preferences, verify your insurance, review estimated costs, and book directly when you’re ready.

If you're experiencing or worried about violence, threats, or coercion in your relationship, couples therapy isn't usually the right starting point — individual support is safer. The National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.

1 Cost may vary based on your location, age, and insurance coverage.
