Hi there!
I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor with a passion for helping women navigate life’s challenges and reconnect with their most empowered selves. I specialize in working with women experiencing Depression, Anxiety, ADHD, Eating Disorders and women’s issues, including identity, life transitions, self-worth, and emotional overwhelm.
Whether you're managing the weight of daily stressors, navigating complex emotional patterns, or feeling stuck in cycles that no longer serve you, I provide a warm, collaborative space where your experiences are heard and validated. Together, we’ll explore the root of what’s holding you back and work toward practical, personalized strategies to help you move forward with clarity and confidence.
My goal is to support you in rediscovering your voice, setting healthy boundaries, and prioritizing your well-being without guilt. Therapy is not just about coping — it's about thriving.
Let’s take the journey together — to heal, to grow, and to put you back at the center of your life.
I believe genuine healing springs from feeling fully understood and accepted. In our work together, you'll find a therapist who listens deeply, asks curious questions, and partners with you to uncover pathways toward growth and relief. We co-design your journey based on your goals, values, and strengths.
I offer a safe, nonjudgmental space where healing begins with feeling truly seen and heard. I believe each person's story is rich with meaning and resilience, and therapy should honor your lived experience. Whether you're navigating anxiety, overwhelm, loss, or major life transitions, I meet you where you are with curiosity, respect, and care.
I work with adults navigating a wide range of concerns, including anxiety, depression, stress, trauma, relationship challenges, grief, and major life transitions. I believe therapy can provide both the space to better understand yourself and the support to make changes that improve how you feel and function in everyday life.
My style is warm, collaborative, and supportive while still being practical and goal-oriented. I’ll take time to understand your experiences, strengths, and what you hope to gain from therapy. Together, we’ll explore what may be getting in the way, build on what’s already working, and develop strategies that feel realistic for your life.
My goal as a therapist is to help my clients discover the "TRUE" and more " CONTENT" person within. The primary goal is to work together to develop creative ways or alternatives to help you to live a healthier lifestyle. Here to help guide through that journey to become the best you.
I am a licensed professional counselor with a Doctorate in Clinical Psychology. I work with all ages, but my focus is working with adults. I have been working in the mental health field for over 15 years. I also have experience and a passion for autism and wrote the book African American Fathers Raising An Autistic Child.
I am experienced and trained in assisting individuals of all ages in dealing with the most unfortunate life transitions. I offer morning, afternoon, and some evening appointments.
I also offer life coaching while focusing on personal empowerment, motivation, and strategies to define and reach your dreams!

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Athens
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.
