Sometimes the hardest part isn't what happened to you—it's carrying the weight of it every day while trying to be there for everyone else. Anxiety, family conflict, grief, trauma, or difficult life transitions can leave you feeling emotionally drained, disconnected, and unsure how to move forward. You deserve a space where you don't have to carry those burdens alone. I work alongside individuals, couples, and families experiencing anxiety, family issues, grief and loss, women's issues, and trauma so they can strengthen their relationships, build emotional resilience, and create healthier, more connected lives. Working with adolescents, adults, and families, I strive to create a compassionate, supportive environment where healing feels possible and lasting change can begin.

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • Marble Hill, GA


Greeting!

I am a seasoned professional continuing to study and learn the most impactful ways to lessen human suffering and promote self love in all. Beginning my practice decades ago as a combat trauma therapist, I have found myself dealing with the traumas of early life and relationships with most my adolescent and adult clients. I believe counseling can offer many “tools”, to cope, however, I prefer to help people heal so that coping becomes an infrequent need.

I believe that therapy is most effective when clients feel genuinely seen, heard, and accepted. While evidence-based practices provide important tools for change, I believe the therapeutic relationship itself is the foundation for growth and healing. My goal is to provide a compassionate, collaborative space where clients can build insight, develop practical skills, and create meaningful change in their lives.

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 Fayetteville

Finding addiction therapists in Fayetteville starts with understanding the kind of support you want. Addiction care can include support for alcohol use, substance use, cravings, relapse patterns, and behavioral concerns. Look for a therapist whose profile lists experience with addiction, substance use, motivational interviewing, cognitive behavioral therapy for substance use, or coordination with medication-assisted care. Some people also work with a prescriber as part of their care team, depending on their needs.

In a smaller city like Fayetteville, local appointment options may be more limited, so virtual therapy can help expand your search while keeping care accessible from home. As you compare therapists, consider appointment availability, whether they offer a free phone consultation, and how they describe their approach to recovery support. Recovery often takes different forms over time, so it can help to look for a therapist who uses a non-judgmental style and has experience with harm reduction frameworks. Reading therapist bios can show how they talk about goals, setbacks, structure, and collaboration before you book.

Therapy in Fayetteville can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and make ongoing support more affordable. Headway helps you check your insurance, see estimated out-of-pocket costs before booking, and compare addiction therapists who are accepting new patients. You can review bios, choose between in-person and virtual appointments when available, 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
