Trauma and PTSD Therapists in Alabama

One of the first things I tell clients who struggle with mental health disorders or overwhelming stress is that in today's society, with all the turmoil and uncertainty we face, it is a natural and normal reaction to be struggling mentally. While there is still a large stigma towards mental health and therapy I believe a great way to combat this is by understanding that it is not weakness to seek help, it in fact takes great strength to reach out to someone and admit that we cannot do this on our own.

Counseling can be an unsettling idea, but what it should be is a collaborative process in which client and therapist set goals and make plans to achieve those goals. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor working with adolescents and adults to achieve a myriad of goals and resolve personal or interpersonal issues. I utilize a variety of therapeutic techniques so that whatever we are doing fits the needs of the client and helps them along their path to wholeness and mental health.

Our world is a broken one filled with broken people, and oftentimes those broken people hurt one another. We are designed for connection with one another, and sometimes those connections go awry and create emotional dysfunction or trauma. That dysfunction and trauma often results in maladaptive means of protecting ourselves and coping with our feelings. This can manifest itself through substance abuse/addiction, dysfunctional relationships, depression, anxiety, and other issues. Are you feeling weighed down by any of these issues? Does any of this ring true to you? I hope to provide the compassionate support needed to recover.

My goal is to help individuals and families find strength and power within themselves to achieve their personal goals and deal with moments of adversity. I strive to help people work through conflicts, traumas, and other significant life events in order to reach a healthy sense of healing and empowerment. I believe in promoting open communication, restoring trust in one's self, and utilizing effective coping skills.

I utilize different approaches to help clients achieve self growth and to build better relationships. I provide a safe space for clients to explore their inner world to accomplish high self worth, competent boundaries, secure attachments, and individual purpose. I explore spiritual, mental, emotional and family dynamics with my clients to get to the root of any life stressors. I hope for my clients to experience inner peace and clarity after each session as they continue towards a journey of self-awareness. Practical and existential practices are utilized to bring about confidence and high self-esteem to achieve the client's goals.

Many people have experienced trauma and deep woundedness, but we don’t have to keep living out those stories in our present lives. These messages and stories that we’ve learned about ourselves may be the major voice in our head, but they don’t have to stay that way. My passion is helping clients connect with the true version of who they are now and learn coping skills and strategies to reconnect with all parts of themselves. This reconnection allows them to function their best in all their relationships: personal, professional, and most importantly their relationship with themselves.
