After spending 12 years working in the legal field, having 3 children, and ensuring my son with special needs had the support he needed to reach his potential, which he did beautifully, I decided to follow my (other) passion. Went back to school in 2016 to earn my Masters in Social Work, which allowed me to follow my dream - helping people find their voice, their identify, their peace, their power and their ability to grow.
I am a therapist who genuinely loves this work and the people I get to do it with. I work with adults who are navigating big life changes, relationship shifts, and the kind of moments that make you stop and ask "who am I now?" My approach is flexible and collaborative, so we figure out together what you need and how to get there. I work fully virtually, so you can show up to sessions from wherever feels most comfortable for you.
At an early age I spent hours listening to people talk about the transitions, traumas, and troubles in their life as I played just out of ear’s reach (or so they thought). These special moments ignited a passion for people and what happens when human beings start being human.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an LGBTQIA Therapist in Augusta
Finding LGBTQIA+ therapists in Augusta starts with choosing care that is identity-affirming and aligned with your needs. An affirming therapist may support people navigating identity, relationships, family dynamics, anxiety, depression, trauma, or stress related to lived experience. As you compare therapists, look for bios that mention affirmative therapy, WPATH training, gender-diverse experience, or direct experience supporting LGBTQIA+ clients. These details can help you find a therapist whose background matches what you want from care.
Augusta has a range of mental health professionals, but therapists who explicitly focus on LGBTQIA+ care may be fewer than in larger metro areas. Virtual appointments can expand your options while keeping in-person care available if you prefer a local office. Beyond specialty, consider appointment availability, whether the therapist offers a free phone consultation, and whether their communication style feels like a fit. Reading profiles before booking can help you see how each therapist describes their approach, populations served, and session structure.
Therapy in Augusta can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to lower session costs and understand what you may pay before care begins. Headway helps you search for LGBTQIA+ therapists in Augusta who are accepting new patients, compare profiles, enter your insurance details for an estimated cost, and book directly when you’re ready.
