"You aren’t defined by your past—you are the author of what comes next."

Life can often feel like a story we no longer want to be in. Whether you are navigating the complexities of anxiety, trauma, or the unique pressures of adolescence, I am here to help you rewrite the narrative. My approach is rooted in Systems Theory and Solution-Focused Therapy, meaning we look at the big picture of your life while building practical tools for immediate growth.

I work with individuals, couples, and families to create a space that is warm, welcoming, and entirely yours. Together, we will turn "feeling stuck" into a journey of empowerment. I’m a proud graduate of the University of West GA and National University, and I’m ready to help you start your next chapter

Find the right counselor for your family

Headway makes it easier to find family-focused support — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Family Therapist in Augusta, GA

Finding family therapists in Augusta starts with understanding what your family wants to work on together. Family therapy can help with parenting conflict, adolescent struggles, blended family dynamics, communication patterns, and changes across generations. Family therapists are trained to work with the relational system, not just one person. As you compare Augusta therapists, look for someone whose listed specialties, approach, and experience match the concerns your family wants to address.

In a mid-sized city like Augusta, you may find a mix of local office visits and virtual appointments. Virtual care can also expand your options if appointment times, school schedules, work hours, or transportation shape what works for your family. Session attendance may include the full family, a parent and child, partners, siblings, or individual family members at different points. Before booking, read therapist bios for details about session structure, communication style, availability, and whether a free phone consultation is offered.

Family counseling in Augusta, GA can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand your estimated cost before you book. Headway helps you search for therapists who are accepting new patients, compare profiles, and check insurance details upfront. You can review options for family counseling, marriage counseling in Augusta, GA, or related support, then 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.

If anyone in your family is experiencing or worried about abuse, threats, or coercion, joint family or couples therapy usually isn't the right starting point — individual support is safer. The Childhelp National Child Abuse Hotline (1-800-422-4453) and National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.
