Grief Therapists in Athens, GA
Do you feel disconnected from your purpose? Do you wonder what is preventing you from embracing your gifts and following your intuition? Maybe you’ve heard conflicting messages from family, community, religion, or society, and you’re wondering who you really are. As Audre Lorde gently reminds us, “our feelings are our most genuine paths to knowledge.”

Some of my specialities include: Anxiety, Assertiveness Training, Communication Enhancement, Depression, Eating Issues, Grief/ Loss, LMSW Supervision, Multicultural/Diversity Issues, Process Groups, Stress Management, University Student Adjustment Issues and Women's Empowerment.
I love what I do. I find it humbling and exciting to join my clients on their therapeutic journey toward health, empowerment and personal transformation. My approach is client-centered, solution focused and strengths based. Often people come to therapy feeling stuck and confused by their circumstances and welcome the opportunity to explore dysfunctional patterns. I enjoy helping people confront unhealthy thinking, develop a plan for change and establish new patterns of behavior. My clients report feeling unburdened, more centered, and better equipped to face whatever crisis or challenge they are facing.

Life can sometimes seem like just too much. Stressors like relationships, friendships, school, work, and family obligations can become too heavy to bear. Maybe there is a trauma you have carried for years that you still aren't quite sure how to handle. Maybe you are questioning aspects of your identity and you aren't sure where to turn to speak honestly about them. Or, maybe you just need someone to talk to who can help you process your daily life. That's where counseling can come in.

Struggling with OCD, PTSD, panic, or anxiety? Your mind won’t stop racing, your confidence is shaken, and you’re exhausted—mentally and physically. You're stuck in a cycle of overthinking, self-doubt, and worry, and it's starting to affect your relationships, work, and daily life. The things that used to help—distractions, pushing through, or leaning on others—just aren’t working anymore. You've tried therapy, maybe dipped your toes in, but now you're ready to dive deeper, break free from the past, and take control of your healing journey once and for all.
