Welcome to my practice! I am a psychotherapist specializing in working with individuals ages 18 and older to navigate anxiety and depression related to identity, career development, and life changes. Anxieties centering around our sense of self can be especially challenging, as they often relate to how we define our place in the world. My goal is to provide a safe and supportive space for you to explore your feelings, develop coping skills, and achieve goals navigating these life transitions with confidence.

I’m based in Athens, Ga and currently providing telehealth to clients across the state of Georgia. Are you feeling overwhelmed, stressed, or anxious? Do you find that your mind is always spinning with thoughts about what you said yesterday or what may happen tomorrow? Maybe you just wake up with a feeling of anxiety? You are not alone. It may feel scary or overwhelming to seek help, but I’m here to create a safe and supportive space for you to feel heard and understood as you learn to navigate life in a way that feels good. I specialize in working individuals dealing with anxiety, insomnia, grief, and chronic/terminal illness.

People often come to counseling feeling stressed, overwhelmed, worried, depressed, and sometimes unsure of where to turn next. My goal is to create a relaxed, comfortable, “come as you are” space that is free of judgment to talk through whatever obstacles are impacting your life. My approach focuses on relationships and is client-centered in order to empower you to take steps towards the healing and growth that you desire. I trust you to be the expert in your life as we walk together towards achieving your goals. In my work, I use a blend of techniques from IFS, CBT, DBT, and mindfulness to best meet your needs.

I enjoy working with clients ready for change. Oftentimes we can feel left out in the margins of society grappling to find belonging and struggling to make sense of what's happening in the world. For folks who identify as LGBTQIA+ and/or those with sexual health concerns, finding support can feel particularly isolating. I use an intersectional feminist approach to therapy that focuses on strengths and making small, measurable goals for incremental change. Clients willing to read, journal, or listen to podcasts for additional support outside of sessions are also likely to be a good fit.

Thanks for checking out my profile! The past few years have made all of us think more about who and what is important to us and how we want to live our lives. Perhaps you are facing a major life transition, struggling to feel connected in your relationship, or need help figuring out how to deal with an increasingly tough world. You might be overwhelmed by difficult thoughts, feelings or situations. You’ve tried everything you, your family or friends think will make things better, but it’s just not working. You are stuck and need help with getting unstuck.

You are carrying the weight of the world on your shoulders. You're going through your day with the constant fear of not being a good enough mom, partner, employee. You feel lost and overwhelmed as you fight to present yourself as someone who has it "all together." Your friends and family don't know how alone you feel because you don't want to be a burden to them. The ghosts of your past torment you, reminding you constantly that if you had been good enough to begin with then you wouldn't have been hurt so badly. It's all your fault, your mind is racing, and you don't know how to make it stop.

Is online therapy a good option?
Therapy conducted online can be just as effective as in-person therapy, as long as there is a strong alliance between the client and the therapist. To find a therapist who provides telehealth services to clients in your area, click “Online Therapy” on the directory homepage and search by your city or town or your zip code.
What’s the difference between a psychologist, a therapist, and a counselor?
Therapists, psychologists, and counselors are all licensed mental health professionals. In the US, psychologists have earned a doctoral degree. The terms “therapist” and “counselor” are used somewhat interchangeably, but generally therapists offer longer-term, mental health care, while counselors offer shorter-term care that may focus on one domain, such as marriage, career, or academic challenges.
What type of therapist is right for me?
Clients should consider factors such as insurance coverage and their primary reason(s) for seeking therapy to determine the type of professional best suited to their needs. Someone struggling with mental health challenges such as depression or anxiety, for example, may wish to seek out a clinical psychologist, psychologist or therapist, while someone navigating career obstacles or marital upheaval may benefit from seeing a counselor who can offer short-term, targeted support.
Is everyone in the Psychology Today Therapy Directory a licensed therapist?
The Psychology Today directory lists providers who offer legitimate mental health services to the public, including psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers, and counselors. Many have been licensed by the country or state where they practice; providers whose license or primary credential has been verified by Psychology Today are signified by a “Verified” symbol. Some clinicians or organizations provide services for which their state or country does not offer licenses, such as pastoral counseling. They may be selectively included without the “Verified” seal.
What type of therapy is right for me?
The type of therapy best suited to a particular individual depends on several factors, including their primary reason for seeking therapy, their preferred timeline (some therapy types last for a set number of sessions, while others are open-ended), and their personality and preferences—some may prefer a more structured approach. For many individuals, multiple types of therapy could provide a good fit.
Is online therapy cheaper than in-person therapy?
Many therapists charge the same amount for online therapy as they do for in-person therapy—though clients may still find this cost-effective if it cuts down on their transportation costs. Health insurance plans often offer equivalent coverage for online and in-person therapy; indeed, in many places, they are legally required to do so. Text-based or on-demand therapy apps may be cheaper than traditional one-on-one psychotherapy; however, the practice may be less effective and is not likely to be covered by insurance.
