How We Will Work Together
My approach is relational, honest, and depth-oriented. Rather than just addressing surface-level symptoms, we will explore the unspoken beliefs and past experiences that quietly shape your daily life. By learning to listen to what your emotions are communicating, you can begin to respond to life’s challenges in ways that promote genuine healing and authentic connection.
Specialized Support for Couples
In addition to individual therapy, I specialize in marriage and pre-marital counseling. I help couples at all stages build resilient foundations, repair emotional disconnections, and foster a deeper sense of intimacy and mutual understanding.
**Please note: While I accept insurance for individual therapy, all couples counseling is private-pay only. Insurance does not cover relationship-focused therapy.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Watkinsville
Searching for therapists in Watkinsville starts with finding someone whose experience matches what you want care for. Therapists may support people with anxiety, depression, grief, life transitions, relationship challenges, stress, trauma, or attention concerns. If you are looking for couples counseling near Athens, GA, or marriage counseling in Athens, GA, review each therapist’s listed specialties and training. Some therapists may use approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, or acceptance and commitment therapy. A therapist’s bio can help you understand who they work with, how they structure sessions, and whether their approach fits your needs.
In a smaller city like Watkinsville, local in-person options may be more limited than in nearby Athens, which makes virtual care a practical way to expand your search. You may prefer a therapist with an office close to home, school, or work, or you may want virtual sessions that fit your schedule more easily. As you compare therapists, look at appointment availability, whether they are accepting new patients, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. Reading profiles before booking can also show how a therapist communicates, what concerns they focus on, and what you can expect in a first session.
Therapy in Watkinsville can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and make care easier to plan for. Headway helps you search for therapists who take insurance, see estimated out-of-pocket costs before booking, and choose between virtual and in-person appointments when available. You can browse therapists, review bios, confirm coverage for your plan, 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.
