You’re not alone. Forty million Americans live with some form of anxiety disorder.
If you find yourself constantly worrying, experiencing sudden panic, or fearing for your health, you’re not alone. Anxiety can show up in ways that make it hard to function day-to-day, but there’s hope for relief.
Do any of these sound familiar?
Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD): Excessive and unrelenting worry about a number of things that can impact your ability to function. It feels like no matter how much you try, you can’t shake the anxiety, and it begins to affect your relationships, work, or daily routine.
Panic Attacks: Out of nowhere, you’re hit with a wave of panic—your heart races, you feel short of breath, and it feels like something terrible is about to happen. The fear of having another attack often lingers, leaving you constantly on edge.
Health Anxiety: You’re preoccupied with fears that you may have or develop a serious medical condition. You find yourself frequently checking your body for signs of illness, searching symptoms online, visiting multiple healthcare professionals, and seeking reassurance from loved ones—all in an attempt to calm your fears, but nothing seems to help.
Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD): Distressing, unwanted thoughts, urges, or images keep popping into your mind, and no matter how hard you try, you can’t get rid of them. In response, you might perform repetitive behaviors—either physical or mental—to alleviate the anxiety, but it only works for a short time before the cycle starts again.
Whether you’re struggling with GAD, panic attacks, health anxiety, or OCD, therapy offers a path to healing. Here’s what therapy can help you with:
Imagine a life where you can navigate your day without being consumed by fear, panic, or endless worry. Therapy offers the tools to help you regain control, reduce anxiety, and focus on what really matters to you.

Anxiety Counseling Tailored for You:
No one-size-fits-all here. My anxiety counseling is as unique as you are. Whether you’re dealing with everyday worries or more specific anxieties like social anxiety or phobias, I’ve got your back.
– One-on-One Support: Individual counseling sessions provide a private and comfortable space for you to open up, explore, and work towards real change.
– Practical Tools with CBT: I use Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help you identify and tackle negative thought patterns—practical tools to manage and lessen anxiety.
– Mindfulness and Relaxation: Expect a touch of mindfulness to keep you grounded, reduce stress, and infuse calm into your daily life.
– Facing Fears Safely: If there are specific fears holding you back, I employ exposure therapy, a gentle technique to help you confront and overcome them.
– Stress Management Magic: Learn practical stress-busting skills, improve your time management, and boost your overall well-being.
We will work as a team to help you change thought processes, so you don’t keep repeating the same unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors. Think of it as changing your usual travel routes because your destinations have changed. (You found a new job; you’re going to a different school; you’ve switched grocery stores; etc.) You will learn and practice new coping strategies that can help you improve the way you manage thoughts and feelings for the better. You will have to do some work on your own, outside of sessions, but it’s worth it to improve your quality of life.
Our first session will typically last 60 minutes so that we can discuss your history and goals. We’ll meet weekly for the first four weeks, typically for 45 minute sessions. After that, we can discuss how often we’ll continue to meet.
I am in-network with UnitedHealthcare, Aetna and Cigna.
We will meet every week for the first four weeks to develop a good working relationship and gain momentum to work on your goals. Then we’ll discuss how often we will continue to meet.
If you won’t be using insurance the cost of a 50 minute session is $185. I can provide you with a superbill that you can file with your insurance company for possible reimbursement.
One of the most important aspects of therapy is having a therapist that you can trust. You want to find someone who resonates with you. Often that means a therapist with authenticity, empathy, compassion and maybe a sense of humor. Do you feel heard and understood? That’s a good sign.
The number of sessions and the frequency necessary will vary depending on you and your goals. We will be regularly checking in during our sessions to discuss the changes you are making and adjust accordingly.
I offer teletherapy and provide virtual sessions to residents of Georgia. All you need is a private area free from interruptions and a good internet connection.
