Couples Counseling Therapists in Brookwood, Mobile, AL

I am a humanistic therapist, working from an attachment based perspective. As a humanist I believe in combining a non-judgmental and supportive environment with intellectual curiosity to work with you as a whole person, thoughts and feelings.  In our relationship , I believe we are partners working together to determine root causes and patterns to find the best way forward. I am not the expert on you nor do I strive to be. I look forward to talking with you – not at you. I strive to understand you – not judge you. I have a Masters Degree from Columbia university and close to 20 years of experience in the field of mental health.

Life can be difficult. You are struggling, tired, and maybe even feeling alone. Things don't have to be the way they are. You can rise above these difficulties. I will listen to you, your struggles, your journey, your heart. Together we will work until you discover joy in your life and find that spring in your step that feels refreshing and rejuvenating! I will help you explore and engage in ways of thinking, behaving, & feeling that will lead you to being a healthy and whole person again, and to having improved relationships with others.

I practice a holistic approach to therapy where you and I work together to help you as a whole person, not just one concern. I believe in reinforcing what strengths you already have while challenging which patterns slow down or stop progress or growth. There's no "right or wrong, good or bad" in addressing concerns. There's what works and what doesn't. Together, we can find what works to do more of it, and less of what doesn't.

“Dance like no one is watching, sing like no one is listening. . ."Mark Twain. This quote illustrates the kind of practice I strive to create. I believe it is necessary to encourage clients to feel free from judgment, criticism, or fear from what someone else thinks. My goal is to provide a safe place using an eclectic approach involving person centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, and motivational interviewing. This allows clients to establish a course that is personally tailored to meet the needs of those with substance use disorders, anxiety, depression, and trauma.

"You are strong enough to face it all, even if it doesn't feel like it right now" . This quote speaks quite loudly to me because upon reflection, I find that Life has a way of interfering when I am busy doing something else. I have spent the better part of 25 years learning who I am and have willingly and sometimes unwillingly faced harsh realities I would not chose for anyone, much less myself. One of the most important things that has proven to be true for me, is that if I can find meaning in events that shattered my world or at the very least, shook it up, then my understanding and insight increased and I could find peace.

“When a person realizes he has been deeply heard, his eyes moisten. I think in some real sense he is weeping for joy. It is as though he were saying, ‘Thank God, somebody heard me. Someone knows what it’s like to be me" (Carl Rogers). I believe that therapy is an equal partnership and I view my clients as experts in their own lives. Through mutual respect, empathetic listening, and positive regard, I work alongside my clients to help them find resolution and peace.

We all want to be emotionally healthy to realize our true potential. However, tension and disorder often make this seem impossible. Family, loved ones, and friends recognize when you are hurting but they may not know how to offer essential support. How do you begin a journey of restoration and transformation? Connecting with a caring, non-judgmental professional is the first step toward the restorative process for life balance, inner peace, control over decisions and transitions, and hopefulness. Talk with a professional who understands and genuinely cares for your well-being.

Bringing children back to wholeness, joy and peace of mind is the heartbeat of my practice. I believe laughter is the best medicine, and I use it during play therapy, role plays, behavioral rehearsal and autistic behavioral treatment. I also love to see families and individuals thrive and work through storms of life which can hit us all. I specialize in role play and behavioral rehearsal, structured problem solving, supportive reflection and interpersonal resolutions. I make it a priority to call or text you back when you reach out to me while we work on issues.

As a Licensed Professional Counselor since 2016 along with an additional 9 years in the field of mental health I have worked with a variety of clients living with depression, anxiety, substance use, and other mental health needs. My goal is to provide you with an empathic and non-judgmental environment where we can collaboratively work to help you navigate these life challenges.

My goal as an LPC serving the Gulf Coast area is to help others live their "Best Life". We all experience ups and downs in life and can benefit from additional support sometimes.

ALL of us (Especially Todays Veterans) have had Experiences or been in Circumstances that can cause over-whelming Emotional Problems: Nightmares, Feelings of Impending Doom, Intense Nervousness and Depression which can leave us feeling out of control... Counseling is a good first step to begin to heal. I offer Assessment and Counseling to address: Personal - Family - Marital 'Life's' Issues and 'Veteran's' Issues (Primarily those that resulted in 'PTSD.'). I will help and encourage you in telling your 'story'. 'Living in-to the events' that caused your distress is essential for you to be able to move on.

In counseling, we will explore life cycles and any strongholds getting in the way of achieving your present and future goals. Life as we know it has changed during the pandemic. Therefore, it's important to have a safe space to reflect and verbalize the changes you have experienced while identifying what you have learned about yourself in order to move forward in your journey.
