You're here! Right here, right now! You may not be where you want to be yet, but you have already taken a step towards facing challenges with a strength you never knew you had. Besides, it doesn't hurt to get a little assistance on the way. I'm here to help you. Let me tell you something. Nothing is as remarkable as seeing positive change in my client! Helping you make even the smallest steps towards your goal every day brings me joy and I make sure to let you know when I've noticed your progress. Even when they seem too small to notice, I'll notice! You’ll be surprised how much a little positivity can help.

I am a licensed professional counselor and a certified rehabilitation counselor with additional experience in helping individuals get back to work to attain the highest success possible after experiencing any life changing issues.

When I counsel, my style is energetic, compassionate, and supportive. I praise your progressions, and I can show you how to be proud of your efforts and steps in the right direction. I am client-centered and I want to listen to you and be as helpful as is humanly possible. I love to empower my clients. I can't wait to meet you!

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

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.

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