In Alabama, I am in-network for BCBS, UHC/UBH/Optum, Medicare, Tricare, Cigna and Aetna.
My passion is helping women to regain a feeling of control and authorship in their lives. Too often as women, we expend so much energy trying to be the best worker/mother/partner we can be and end up putting our own needs at the bottom of the list. We may struggle with disempowering beliefs about ourself that we can't seem to break free from that undercut our true value and worth. We typically only come to therapy if we're hurting a great deal; though choosing to directly confront and sit with our pain can be difficult, it also has the potential to be truly transformative!

Is it difficult to communicate your wants and needs to others, or even yourself? Do you feel like your relationships are not where you want them to be? When you find yourself going down different paths than you hoped for, it is okay to stop and ask for directions. If you are struggling with your self-thoughts, personal relationships, and/or marriage, I can help. The more I interact with others, the more I see the contradictions we often feel in our relationships.

I've just opened some new availability on my schedule and am accepting new clients! My ideal client is one who is ready for change. I don't know many people who change when they are comfortable. By the time an individual or couple walks into a counseling office, they are usually in enough discomfort with their current reality that they are ready to work towards something new. I want to join with clients to identify what is not working, the source of their discomfort, and help set them up for and walk with them into successful healing, change and overall health.
