Therapists in Alabama

My approach to therapy utilizes an integrative blend of counseling theory to provide specialized services to a wide variety of patients and patient issues. My goal in therapy is to work in an equal and collaborative relationship with patients to reach his or her goals through empathy, respect, genuineness, and a little humor. I strive to assist patients to work towards identifying challenges or conflicts as well as to find meaning and purpose in life.

“To change ourselves effectively, we first had to change our perceptions.” Stephen R. Covey’s words summarize the basis of my work as a therapist—helping others to change their perceptions. I strive to assist individuals and families gain a renewed perspective and work towards overcoming trauma and/or conflict in their lives.

My philosophy of counseling is that every human soul is unique and their experiences shape their view of the world. The process of individuation is essential in order for a person to become whole and fully developed as his or her 'true self.' I believe empathy, collaboration and validation are key to the counseling relationship. The person as NOT the problem; rather the problem is only a part of the person. In the counseling relationship we will focus on strengths and mindfully and collaboratively awaken awareness of the authentic self to free clients of displaced emotions. The goal is for you to have a satisfactory life.

We are what and who we are primarily because of where we come from and from everything we have ever experienced. That provides us with both positive and negative qualities about ourselves. A lot of times, we want to remain victims of our past. But we must remember that no matter where we have been, and no matter what we have experienced, we can overcome and become a better person. It's not easy. It's not pretty. But it is worth it! Here at PCCS, we believe in you and want to help you believe in yourself.

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.

Dear SUPER Woman, Life is like strands of Christmas lights thrown in a box, a tangled mess that needs to be sorted. However, if you hold one end and I hold one end, we can sort them out much quicker.
