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.

Founder & Therapist, CoAuthored Therapy

I believe therapy is most powerful when it feels like a story we write together. I bring a collaborative, narrative-based approach to working with individuals, couples, and families. My goal is to create a space where clients feel both supported and empowered to re-author the stories that shape their lives.

I earned my Master’s degree in Marriage and Family Therapy from National University, where I focused on systems theory and narrative practice. Over the years, I’ve worked with diverse populations supporting clients through challenges such as relationship transitions, trauma recovery, and identity exploration.

Happy patient looking away

Find the right LGBTQ-friendly therapy provider for you

Headway makes it easier to connect with affirming therapists who understand your identity — from finding the right therapist, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an LGBTQIA Therapist in Atlanta

Finding LGBTQIA therapists in Atlanta starts with looking for identity-affirming care. For many people, fit means more than general experience with anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, gender dysphoria, or identity-related stress. Look for therapists who list LGBTQIA+ populations, affirmative therapy, WPATH training, gender-diverse experience, or gender identity therapy in their profile. These details can help you find someone whose training and approach match the kind of support you want.

Atlanta has many therapists across neighborhoods like Midtown, Decatur, Old Fourth Ward, and Buckhead, but the number of options can make it harder to narrow your search. Virtual appointments can also expand access to LGBTQ therapists, lgbt counselors near me, or gay friendly therapy when the right in-person fit is farther from home or has limited availability. As you compare therapists, consider appointment times, whether they offer a free phone consultation, and how their bio describes communication style. Profiles that explicitly mention LGBTQIA+ communities, therapists specializing in gender identity, or counseling LGBTQ clients can give you clearer fit signals before you book.

Therapy in Atlanta can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and make ongoing care easier to plan for. Headway helps you search for therapists who match your needs, see insurance options available through Headway, and review clear cost estimates before your first session. You can review bios, compare virtual and in-person options, and book directly when you’re ready.

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