I am passionate about being able to help clients learn to help themselves. Often times, we aren't equipped with the tools and knowledge to move through life's challenges. I specialize in helping my clients heal from underlying traumas that continue to cause distress, while also treating current symptoms of anxiety and depression. I hope that each of my clients feel validated, supported, and valued. I am inspired by seeing my clients begin making necessary changes in their own lives to improve their overall wellbeing.

I have a Bachelor's Degree in Psychology as well as a Master's Degree of Social Work. I began to work in this field as a foster care case manager. I have since gained 15 years of clinical experience among various outpatient and inpatient treatment settings. I specialize in treating PTSD, Anxiety, and Depressive Disorders.

Happy patient looking away

Find the right addiction counselor for you

Headway makes it easier to find support for overcoming addiction — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an Addiction Therapist in Augusta, GA

Finding addiction therapists in Augusta starts with looking for care that matches your specific needs. Addiction care can support people with substance use, alcohol use, compulsive behaviors, cravings, relapse concerns, or changes in relationships and daily routines. As you compare Augusta therapists, look for training in approaches like motivational interviewing, cognitive behavioral therapy for substance use, or harm reduction-informed care. Some people may also work with a prescriber as part of their care team, so it can help to choose a therapist who can coordinate care when needed.

Augusta has a range of counseling options, from local offices near downtown and medical areas to virtual appointments across Georgia. Virtual care can expand your options if local availability, transportation, or scheduling makes in-person counseling harder to fit into your week. As you narrow your search, review whether each therapist is accepting new patients, offers appointment times that fit your schedule, and provides a free phone consultation. Therapist bios can also show how they describe recovery support, communication style, and experience with non-judgmental care.

Therapy in Augusta can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before care begins. Headway helps you find addiction therapists in Augusta who match your preferences, offer virtual or in-person appointments, and accept a wide range of insurance plans. You can review therapist profiles, see estimated costs after adding your insurance, and book directly when you’re ready.

If you or someone you know is experiencing severe withdrawal symptoms — especially from alcohol or benzodiazepines — talk to a medical provider or seek emergency care before starting outpatient therapy. If you or someone you know is struggling with addiction or substance use and is in a crisis, immediately reach out to:

* 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline — call or text 988 * SAMHSA National Helpline — 1-800-662-HELP (4357), free, confidential, 24/7 * Crisis Text Line — text HOME to 741741
