Therapists in Alabama

Now accepting clients for individual and group therapy! Whether you are looking to process the past, change the present, or prepare for the future, I would be honored to help you on your journey. I have worked with children, adolescents, and adults for over 15 years, focussing on reducing anxiety, building self esteem, and finding motivation to build the life you deserve.

Have you just found out that your spouse or significant other has been engaging in sexual behaviors and lying about it? Maybe it was sexting, an emotional affair, pornography, or other sexual behaviors. Whatever it was, it was kept from you and you feel lied to, betrayed, and fooled. Or maybe you are the one engaging in sexual behaviors that you have tried to stop but, no matter how much effort you put into stopping, you return to that same behavior over and over. Maybe you are grieving a relationship loss, trying to figure out how to parent now that things have changed or you just feel stuck in the same old patterns.

When growing up feeling fear, shame or guilt, we can become adults with unresolved childhood messages perceiving fear, shame or guilt. Do you continue to relive blatant family dysfunction or subtle shadow of parents pain? Whichever family script used, these wounds have troubled your spirit, altered thoughts, unregulated emotions, or unhealthy behavior. Have your wounds prevented wholeness? Your internal voice affect ways information is processed. The way the body feels is a direct link to your well-being. Are you ready to end misplaced attempts with pursuits of impulsivity or feelings of isolation and move toward healing.

Traumatic events or issues with family, relationship and work can lead to depression, chronic anxiety, grief and PTSD. Resultantly, the quality of life deteriorates. Psychotherapy (counseling) enables you to explore your cognitive and emotional sides. It involves connecting your past wounds and present emotions. Psychodynamic therapy enables you to go beyond managing your present emotions and go to the source. I have explored and had many diversified experiences in Spirituality which is important in terms of your present and past experiences. My holistic orientation includes heed to nutrition in all matters related to the MIND-BODY-SPIRIT connection.

Everyone on occasion feels hopeless, helpless, frustrated, confused, alone, overwhelmed or even "stuck" in life, marriage, family, work, or relationships. Sometimes you just need someone to listen and understand and hope for you, your loved ones, or your current situation when you are unable or unequipped to be able to hope for or help yourself. A crisis can be defined as any situation that comes up in your life that you do not have a support network great enough to overcome on your own. If you are feeling in over your head, and unable to make it, I have great news for you . . .

Currently Accepting New Clients. Perhaps you are a parent, struggling to find help for your child or teen who is dealing with behavioral or emotional concerns? Maybe you are an individual who is struggling with sadness, hopelessness, stress or anxiety. At Birmingham Family Counseling, we strive to provide inclusive, individualized care to support those who may be dealing with difficulty in life. We are here to support you through this time.

My orientation is towards helping clients experience at the deepest level possible those beliefs and emotional stances which color every moment of their lives, even if unconsciously, and which give rise to the variety of circumstances and interactions of daily life. "Problems" are viewed in the context of the whole life, and seen as signs that a once-creative solution is now blocking the full expression of vitality, meaning, and one's most fundamental nature. Change is possible only on the foundation of a precise and honest experience of oneself marked by warmth and acceptance.

Life can be challenging for all of us at times. You may be dealing with day-to-day stressors, having a hard time in a relationship, unsure of your purpose, or experiencing difficulty overcoming something from your past. I firmly believe that therapy offers a dedicated space for problem-solving and healing. It serves as a beacon of HOPE and new beginnings. My role as a counselor is to provide my clients with a safe space to express themselves and provide support that will assist them in utilizing their strengths to overcome their challenges.

PTSD doesn't develop only in those people who have experienced combat. You need a counselor who is aware of the many facets and forms of trauma and how they shape the person you are and how you experience the symptoms of PTSD. Veterans often have difficulty in working with therapists because many therapists have never experienced the military culture and the chaotic world of warfare. Having a therapist who is also a combat veteran enhances client trust, progress, and the working alliance. Having a counselor who is also aware of the trauma of Domestic Violence enhances your progress. I am very sensitive to the needs of PTSD people.

Start feeling better today. Whether you are going through a major life transition or not handling stressful circumstances well, there is help for you. If you need assistance managing issues such as low self-esteem, depression, anxiety, addictions, relationship problems, spiritual conflicts or creative blocks, I will provide the encouragement and help with skills to get you through these periods.

Sometimes the journey of life hasn't been what we envisioned. Perhaps it is full of anxiety, depression, or stress. Maybe you find yourself angry at everyone around you or angry with yourself.

Now accepting new clients. I strive to create a comfortable space, working with my clients to help them make positive changes. I respect the individuality of each person and the uniqueness of your life experiences and personal struggles. I am affirming of all sexualities and gender identities. It is my belief that you do not have to face your struggles alone. My counseling experience includes working with concerns including anxiety, depression, stress, addiction, sexuality and gender, trauma, relationships, and life transitions.

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.
