Beacon Health Options Therapists in Mobile, AL

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.

My assignment is to help you identify your identity, tap your untapped potential, change your behavior by transforming your belief system, and assist you through life's situations.

As a counselor who specializes in helping women, I understand the unique challenges that they face. I am passionate about helping them find happiness and peace in their lives. Whether it’s navigating changes such as aging, perimenopause and menopause, grief & loss, re-evaluation of relationships and self-worth, I can help. My goal is to provide support and guidance so that my clients can achieve the happiness they deserve.

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 patients living with depression, anxiety, substance use, and other serious mental illnesses. 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.

Welcome to LPC Services ~ Your Behavioral Health Specialist.

As an experienced therapist and a good listener,I most enjoy working with a client who is motivated to make some changes in his/her life, and who is willing to think in some new ways, as well as to attempt some new behaviors. I can easily support a client who is open, honest, and self-searching, rather than very defensive. I am usually able to help those with relationship issues to effect change, to help those with addictions and compulsions, and to help clients with depression, stress disorders, and anxiety disorders. I am also experienced in dealing with grief and loss issues.

Are you a veteran or family member seeking direction, I can help. Individual, couple and group sessions are available with hours that work for you. Sometimes life can bring us to our knees. When it does, I've found, it's important to have the right support system. Learning how to look at painful experiences differently and live a value-based life can mean the difference between existing and thriving. Personal experience has shown me that a change in perspectives, and developing new skills, have the power to transform our pain into a powerful life experience.

As a Licensed Professional Counselor, I have worked with a wide variety of people, including the seriously mentally ill, those addicted to substances, personality disorders, and others just having trouble figuring out life's expectations. I want to work with you to help you move forward when you are not getting the most out of your life, you feel stuck or alone, for reasons you can explain and for reasons you cannot explain. Are you open to therapy and making a change? Let me help you navigate your world and help you make the changes necessary to make a difference.

"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.

I chose to go into the line of therapy because I wanted to help people. I realized that I had an interest and a talent for working with kids and teens. This is why I chose my speciality. I believe that they need a space where they can talk freely without fear of being judged. I work very hard on making my therapeutic space as inviting as possible as well as allow an open space for questions, comments, and/or concerns.

Do you want to live a happier and healthier life? Talking to an experienced, qualified therapist can help. I treat adults, teens, couples, and families seeking relief from depression, anxiety, grief, addiction, and mood disorders. We all work towards happiness, but we sometimes get stuck in patterns from the past and live in anxiety about the future. You don't have to suffer alone.

I believe that reaching out for help takes courage and that it is a sign of strength. Through providing a safe, confidential and supportive environment, my goal is to assist people with breaking down barriers that may be preventing them from seeking the help they need.
