I work with adults navigating a wide range of concerns, including anxiety, depression, stress, trauma, relationship challenges, grief, and major life transitions. I believe therapy can provide both the space to better understand yourself and the support to make changes that improve how you feel and function in everyday life.
My style is warm, collaborative, and supportive while still being practical and goal-oriented. I’ll take time to understand your experiences, strengths, and what you hope to gain from therapy.

Hello, I'm glad you're here! Are you exhausted from living in a constant state of 'what if' and anxiety? Do you struggle making the 'right' decision, or do you think through every possible thing that can go wrong? As a board-certified psychotherapist and former Clinical Director, I have spent the last 20 years treating fear, trauma, relationship struggles and depression. My true passion, however, is helping individuals overcome worry and fear, and learn to handle the discomfort of the unknown.
I am a licensed mental health counselor in New York state. I completed her master’s degree in Mental Health Counseling at Molloy College.

I am known for my resilient spirit and ability to provide unconditional positive regard.
I’ve spent years sitting with people at their lowest—through addiction, crisis, and the kind of pain that can make life feel unmanageable. That work taught me something I bring into every session now: nobody is “too much,” and no story is too messy. These days, I’m more focused on slower, steadier work. Whether you’re worn down by depression, gripping through stress, or finally ready to be honest about drinking or using, I’ll meet you where you are with steadiness, honesty, and compassion. You don’t need the right words yet; we’ll figure it out together.

Whatever it is you are looking to unload, I offer a warm and validating space to explore what you’ve been carrying.
I hold a master’s degree in counseling and have worked in hospital systems, outpatient clinics, and university counseling centers. I work with adults and college students to better understand patterns and survival instincts. When I'm not working, I'm usually exercising in some way, spending time outside, or playing music.

Headway helps you manage obsessive-compulsive disorder with expert-guided support — from finding the right therapist or psychiatrist, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.
Factors to Consider When Choosing an OCD Therapist in Augusta, GA
Finding OCD therapists in Augusta starts with looking for a therapist trained in obsessive-compulsive disorder care. OCD can involve intrusive thoughts, compulsive checking, contamination concerns, repeated reassurance seeking, or mental rituals. Exposure and response prevention, often called ERP, is a common therapy approach for OCD, and not all therapists are trained in it. As you compare options, look for therapists who list OCD, ERP, or cognitive behavioral therapy for OCD in their bios.
Augusta offers a range of mental health care options, and virtual appointments can expand your search beyond nearby offices while still keeping care accessible. Some people prefer in-person sessions close to home, work, or school, while others choose virtual care for scheduling flexibility. When reviewing OCD therapists, pay attention to whether they are accepting new patients, offer appointment times that fit your calendar, and describe specific OCD experience. A therapist who lists OCD as a focus area may differ from one who clearly describes ERP training or structured OCD support.
Therapy in Augusta can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before you book. Headway makes it easier to compare OCD therapists, view estimated out-of-pocket costs after your plan is verified, read detailed bios, and book directly when you are ready.
