Adopting or fostering comes with many challenges. Families go into it excited about the child they will love and care for, and it is common to experience many challenges in loving a child from a hard place. Children placed for adoption or in foster care have experienced a great deal of loss. This leaves them dealing with pain on a deep level. Families often feel guilty or like they haven't been good parents if their child experiences attachment difficulties. But the truth is that it would be weird if they didn't based on their life experiences. These issues are complex and multi-layered, often involving the entire family system.

I am an associate licensed counselor (ALC) under the supervision of Hallie Keel, LPC. I am also pursuing my Registered Play Therapist credential. I earned my M.Ed. in counseling from The University of Montevallo. I enjoy working with clients of all ages.

Some of the challenges my clients have struggled with are anxiety, depression, loneliness, and grief.

I believe that people are born with enormous potential! That said, sometimes situations occur in our lives which directly or indirectly impact the pace at which we may reach that potential. When people are able to identify at what point they stopped being an author in their lives, they can go back, pick up the pen, and begin re-writing their story. I bring an eclectic approach in moving us forward (EFT, DBT, CBT, among others) in consideration of identified goals. I regularly serve therapists, first responders, men/women with perinatal struggles, couples, and individuals struggling with anxiety/OCD and/or depression, among others.

My goal as a therapist is to provide a safe space where individuals can feel seen, heard, and valued. I believe that greater awareness, coping skills, and the ability to own our stories are powerful tools for healing.
