I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with over 10 years of experience helping individuals, couples, and families find relief, build meaningful relationships, and create lasting change. I offer in-person therapy in Augusta, GA, and online therapy across multiple states, with the goal of making quality mental health care more accessible and easier to fit into busy lives.
I specialize in eating disorders, body image concerns, trauma, perinatal mood disorders, postpartum adjustment, anxiety, perfectionism, relationship challenges, and life transitions. My experience includes working across multiple levels of eating and substance use disorder care, serving military families in the perinatal adjustment period, supervising and training therapists in inpatient treatment settings, facilitating family programming in support of those who love someone with a mental health diagnosis, and presenting continuing education programs on eating and substance use disorder recovery at local and national levels.
My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and grounded in evidence-based therapy. Whether you're working to break unhealthy relationship patterns, establish boundaries, heal your relationship with your body, navigate family dynamics, or understand how your past influences your present, therapy offers a space to explore these challenges without judgment.
I believe therapy should feel like an authentic conversation—one where you can gain insight, challenge old patterns, receive honest feedback, and develop practical tools for meaningful change. Sometimes that means doing the deeper work, and sometimes it simply means having a space to process an overwhelming week.
If you're looking for a therapist who balances compassion with honesty, insight, and a little humor along the way, I'd love to work with you.

I compassionately collaborate with you to understand your story, identify ways to empower you to create your preferred life, and understand what you have found helpful or unhelpful from therapy in the past. I am enthusiastic about sharing psychoeducation with my clients and love to lift back the veil of therapy by integrating research and science in conversation.
I offer a variety of counseling services including individual therapy, couples therapy, and relational therapy.
