As one who has personally dealt with depression and grief, I have a intimate understanding of the struggles that come along with these issues and ways in which to endure and even prosper through such difficult times.
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 16 years of experience helping adults navigate challenges related to depression and anxiety. I understand that life can feel overwhelming, and at times, we all need support to move forward. My goal is to provide a compassionate, safe space where clients can feel heard, understood, and empowered to create lasting change.
I earned a Master’s in Social Work from the University of Georgia. I use a variety of evidence-based modalities, emphasizing cognitive behavioral therapy to help clients develop insight, build coping strategies, and strengthen resilience. I also offer Christian counseling upon request for those who prefer a faith-based approach to healing.
Over the years, I’ve learned that healing begins when clients feel genuinely supported by someone who listens and cares. I’m committed to helping you overcome anxiety and depression with practical tools and encouragement every step of the way. If you’re ready to begin your healing journey, I invite you to reach out today.

Yes, we offer comprehensive psychiatric services to meet your mental health needs.
Psychiatry allows people struggling to manage mental conditions or disorders to get access to medications that will make daily functioning easier, as well as work through any mental factors that might be causing or worsening their condition. Though medications can’t cure mental disorders, medication can make symptoms more manageable, making the process of psychotherapeutic treatment easier and more effective. Psychiatric care can be available through in-person psychiatry and online psychiatry, depending on where you live and your own preferences. However, psychiatric providers at Thriveworks in Athens, GA specifically offer online psychiatry to their clients.
A therapist has an education specifically rooted in therapeutic practice, approaches, techniques, and treatment. They cannot prescribe medications for clients, though they often refer clients to psychiatrists for medication management. Psychiatrists are medically trained doctors who specialize in mental health treatment, mainly through medication management and prescription, though they can also practice therapy.
A Psychiatry Nurse Practitioner (NP) is a highly trained and licensed professional who specializes in mental health care. They are qualified to diagnose and treat mental health conditions, prescribe medications, and provide therapy. Psychiatric NPs at Thriveworks are qualified to prescribe medications for a variety of mental health conditions. They work closely with you to develop a personalized treatment plan.
Oftentimes, psychiatrists or psychiatric professionals will perform a comprehensive psychiatric evaluation, which involves an in-depth discussion about your symptoms, medical history, and current medications. Once they reach a diagnosis, they may suggest starting certain medications depending on your condition and the intensity of your symptoms.
