Hi! I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor who supports kids, teens, young adults, and caregivers who are feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or stuck in survival mode. My clients often come to me when they're tired of repeating the same patterns, struggling with confidence, or carrying heavy experiences from the past.

I help clients break old cycles, build self-worth, and feel more grounded. You don’t need to show up perfect or have all the answers. I meet you exactly where you are, at your pace, with no judgment.

I’m here to help you understand your story, build healthier patterns, and feel more grounded and confident in yourself.

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.

Happy patient looking away

Find the right therapist for you

Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Gainesville

Searching for therapists in Gainesville starts with finding someone whose training matches what you want support with. You may be looking for care related to anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, work stress, or a major life change. As you compare Gainesville therapists, look for specialties listed in their profiles and note the care approaches they use, such as cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, or trauma-informed care. A therapist’s bio can also show how they structure sessions and what you can expect from their style.

In a smaller city like Gainesville, the number of local in-person offices may be more limited than in larger Georgia markets. Virtual therapy can expand your options while still connecting you with a licensed Georgia therapist. You can also narrow your search by appointment availability, whether a therapist is accepting new patients, session format, and whether a free phone consultation is offered. Reading profiles before booking can help you compare communication style, areas of focus, and scheduling fit in one place.

Therapy in Gainesville 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 care begins. Headway helps you find therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, see estimated out-of-pocket costs before booking, and choose between virtual and in-person care when available. You can browse therapists in Gainesville, review bios, and book directly when you’re ready.
