I believe everyone deserves a safe, supportive place to talk through life’s challenges. For the past 19 years, I have worked with individuals and families navigating difficult moments, helping them find clarity, healing, and renewed strength. I work with clients of all ages and backgrounds, and I have a special passion for supporting people through grief and major life transitions.
Life can bring unexpected changes such as the loss of a loved one, relationship shifts, career changes, or other transitions that leave you feeling overwhelmed or unsure of the next step. My goal is to provide a compassionate space where you can process your experiences, feel truly heard, and begin to move forward at your own pace.
Throughout my career, I have supported clients facing grief, anxiety, stress, and life adjustments. I strive to create a warm, non-judgmental environment where you can be yourself and feel supported as we work together toward healing and growth.

Life can be full of surprises. Sometimes those surprises are wonderful, other times they can cause stress, anxiety and even depression.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an Anxiety Therapist in Athens, GA
Searching for therapists in Athens starts with knowing what kind of care fits your needs. You may be looking for support with anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, life transitions, or stress. As you compare therapists, look for listed specialties, therapy styles, and experience that match what you want to address. A bio that mentions approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy, trauma-informed care, or couples counseling can help you understand how a therapist may work with you.
In a smaller city like Athens, local appointment options may be more limited than in larger metro areas. Virtual therapy can expand your choices while still giving you access to therapists licensed in Georgia. You may also want to consider appointment availability, whether the therapist is accepting new patients, and whether they offer a free phone consultation before booking. Reading profiles closely can help you compare communication style, areas of focus, and what to expect in a first session.
Therapy in Athens can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to lower session costs and make ongoing care more affordable. Headway helps you search for therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, see estimated out-of-pocket costs before booking, and choose between virtual and in-person appointments. You can browse therapists, review bios, 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.
