I am passionate about being able to help clients learn to help themselves. Often times, we aren't equipped with the tools and knowledge to move through life's challenges. I specialize in helping my clients heal from underlying traumas that continue to cause distress, while also treating current symptoms of anxiety and depression. I hope that each of my clients feel validated, supported, and valued. I am inspired by seeing my clients begin making necessary changes in their own lives to improve their overall wellbeing.

I have a Bachelor's Degree in Psychology as well as a Master's Degree of Social Work. I began to work in this field as a foster care case manager. I have since gained 15 years of clinical experience among various outpatient and inpatient treatment settings. I specialize in treating PTSD, Anxiety, and Depressive Disorders.

Life can feel overwhelming when you're carrying anxiety, navigating relationship challenges, processing grief, or trying to balance the many responsibilities and expectations placed upon you. You may feel emotionally exhausted, disconnected from yourself, struggling with self-esteem, or uncertain about how to move forward. I work with adults facing anxiety, relationship issues, women's issues, grief and loss, cultural and ethnic identity concerns, stress management challenges, life transitions, and emotional overwhelm. Many of my clients come to therapy seeking a supportive space where they can better understand themselves, heal from difficult experiences, and build healthier relationships with themselves and others. Together, we'll explore the challenges that have brought you to therapy, identify your strengths, and develop practical tools that support healing, resilience, and personal growth. My goal is to help you create meaningful change while building a life that feels more balanced, fulfilling, and aligned with your values.

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 Mental Health Therapist in Valdosta, GA

Searching for therapists in Valdosta starts with finding someone whose training matches what you want to address. People often look for therapy in Valdosta for anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, trauma, life transitions, or work stress. As you compare therapists, look for specialties and approaches that fit your needs, such as cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, trauma-informed care, or couples counseling. A therapist’s profile can also show how they describe their style, what they focus on in sessions, and whether their experience feels relevant to you.

In a smaller city like Valdosta, local in-person options may be more limited than in larger Georgia markets. Virtual therapy can expand your search while still connecting you with therapists licensed in Georgia. Some people prefer meeting in an office, while others choose virtual appointments for schedule flexibility or easier access from home. When narrowing your options, consider whether a therapist is accepting new patients, offers appointment times that fit your calendar, and provides a free phone consultation. Reading bios before booking can help you understand each therapist’s communication style and decide who may be a strong fit.

Therapy in Valdosta 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 your first appointment. Headway helps you search for therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, verify your benefits, and see an estimated session cost before you book. You can browse therapists in Valdosta, review profiles, and 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.
