My passion for helping people develop their spiritual and mental health wellness led me to enter the Master’s degree program in Clinical Mental Health Counseling at Augusta University. Now as a counselor, my goal with clients is to help them unlock the profound connection between their words, stories, and people in their lives. I currently work with individuals and couples focusing on avenues to improve their relationships. I have always been inspired by Matt Smith’s quote, “We are all stories in the end, just make it a good one, ey?" We all have our story. Let's work together to unlock yours!

I enjoy collaborating with individuals, couples, and families, drawing upon both conventional practices and a holistic framework to foster heightened awareness in areas such as nutrition and movement, and how they connect with our mental well-being. Cultivating cultural humility and serving as an ally for the LGBTQ community are important values in my practice as a clinician committed to fostering a welcoming environment.

Believe it or not...this is a FUN process. The most important aspect of counseling is to attain the goals you identify. You are the expert in your own life. I am comfortable working with clients who have identified almost any problem area but specifically I am well trained in treating anxiety, depression, self-esteem issues, and problems in the social and family environment. I work on the goals you identify rather than my opinion of what you should work on. This makes me a very non-judgmental personal and I develop strong positive relationships with my clients.

Parenting is challenging, almost by definition. When it becomes overwhelming to the point of creating a crisis in the home or school, it is time to seek help. If your child is chronically oppositional, hyperaggressive, fraught with roller-coaster emotions, or at the other extreme, crippled by anxiety, very poor self-image, or depression, I can work with you to reduce these issues and help restore more harmony between you and your child when such power struggles interfere with family peace. I work with these child-family issues, as well as autism spectrum disorder, problematic school behaviors, serious sibling conflicts, and more.

Experiencing anxiety? Low self-esteem? Overwhelm? If these are part of your experience there is a good chance that overthinking is too! Overthinking shows up in annoying ways, spending hours making small decisions because we are worried we’ll be judged, asking others for validation then apologizing for asking, reliving conversations deciding how stupid we sounded, hyperfocusing on a situation to the point that we can’t think of anything else, and what about my favorite time that overthinking shows up, in the middle of the damn night, when we’d definitely rather be staring at the ceiling overanalyzing instead of sleeping-sarcasm obv!

The idea of reaching out and asking for help can be a daunting task for many. For some, the idea of seeking help was downplayed or discouraged from an early age. For others, it feels overwhelming to begin digging deeper or speaking honestly about their situation. You are definitely not alone in this. It's not unusual to feel overwhelmed, lost, depressed, anxious, and alone when handling life's stressors. While many people want out of this cycle, it's often too overwhelming to do it alone. Together, we'll work to create more adaptive habits, recognize patterns, and build insights to help you get the most that life has to offer.

You aren't sure how life got to this point. Starting another day is going to take energy that you just don’t have. You don’t feel like yourself anymore, but you don’t know how to connect with “who you used to be.” Is the disconnect impacting your most important relationships, such as your spouse, your children, family members, and friends? Even your relationship with yourself? You may find yourself pulling away from others in exhaustion or frustration, but also fearing they are pulling away from you. Perhaps you have faith and hope for the future, but lately even your faith has felt distant from you.

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’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.
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 or therapist, while someone navigating career obstacles or marital upheaval may benefit from seeing a counselor who can offer short-term, targeted support.

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.
How much does therapy cost?
The cost of therapy depends on a number of variables, including location and the therapist’s experience and training. On average, a therapy session in the United States could cost between $100 and $200 or more. If you have insurance, the expense of mental health care is typically lower, but it varies based on your insurance plan details and whether you choose an in-network or out-of-network mental healthcare provider.
What are more affordable or low cost therapy solutions?
Many therapists offer sliding scale payments, usually on a limited number of slots, which consists in an agreement between the therapist and a client to pay a reduced rate. Therapists who provide such arrangements often consider the client's income or ability to pay, but the extent of the discount is ultimately at the therapist's discretion. Furthermore, while group therapy may have different goals and benefits compared to individual therapy, it can be a more affordable solution to address certain types of issues.
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.
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.
Are therapy sessions confidential?
Confidentiality is a crucial part of the therapeutic relationship. Therapists in the United States are bound by the regulations set out by the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA), which aims to protect sensitive health information. With very few exceptions, a therapist will only discuss their client with others when the client has given their written permission. The instances in which a therapist would be required to disclose personal information are: if a client poses a danger to themselves or others, if the therapist suspects the abuse of a child or an elderly or otherwise dependent adult, or if they are legally forced to by court order. These exceptions to the confidentiality agreement are usually discussed with a client before their first session.
