Best Psychiatry Specialists in Athens, GA

I was born and raised in Athens, GA, and love this area. I married my high school sweetheart in 2001, and we are currently raising our 3 children in Watkinsville. We enjoy spending time outdoors and camping. Go Dawgs!

It'''s an honor to be trusted and invited into someone'''s story'''"and that is the great privilege in practicing psychiatry. I particularly enjoy working with children, adolescents, and young adults'''"together with their families. I believe in building a solid patient-provider alliance in which both parties actively participate in improving the patient's mental health. Psychotherapy, Psychoeducation, social Support structures, and lifestyle modifications form the foundation of treatment'''with conservative use of medication as indicated.

I am a therapist dedicated to helping adolescents, individuals, and couples work through challenges, life transitions, grief and experiences in life. I utilize Person-Centered Therapy and Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy to help meet the needs of my patients. It is my goal to help my patients navigate their personal growth during their journey. When I'm not at work I spend time with family, friends, roller skating, and art.
