Available In-Person to Patients in Alabama and via Telehealth to Patients in Arkansas. We are all doing our best to survive what life throws at us and we can start to feel out of control. Sometimes, in an attempt to survive, we develop coping strategies and habits that get us through one phase of life but may not get us through the next. I have seen this in my own life and feel deeply the pain that change can yield and the life-giving freedom which taking the right steps can bring. I aim to compassionately guide you through the change process and help you to take back your life and the things you value.
A good therapist is like a wilderness guide. Someone who knows and experiences all the same things you do, but is confident walking through the terrain because he or she has become familiar with the path. I would be honored to be that guide whether you are working on breaking free of old habits, grabbing onto new ones, or just needing to grow.
If you have never been to therapy, that is not a problem. I love working with people who are experiencing this process for the first time.

For couples work, I utilize a model called Emotionally Focused (Couples) Therapy. This is considered a gold standard for relational counseling and I have over 50 hours of additional trainings in this model. We'll look at three things, your pain (what hurts?), your protection (what do you do when it hurts?), and how that protection lands on your partner in order to help you understand each other.
