Substance Use Therapists in Alabama

I practice a holistic approach to therapy where you and I work together to help you as a whole person, not just one concern. I believe in reinforcing what strengths you already have while challenging which patterns slow down or stop progress or growth. There's no "right or wrong, good or bad" in addressing concerns. There's what works and what doesn't. Together, we can find what works to do more of it, and less of what doesn't.

As humans, we navigate what can feel like an unsteady and confusing world. Life can be overwhelming. We may find ourselves in places where we need to make hard choices and manage difficult situations.

Obstacles, barriers, bumps, and other synonyms for negative events that occur in life can leave feelings of despair and emptiness which leads to negative thinking and low self-esteem or self-worth. As wonderful as life is, we experience pain and stress. Amazingly, in most instances, we are able to cope with adverse events and continue enjoying life; however, sometimes, the pain feels too much to bear. Too much to bear alone. Too much to “burden” our families and friends with, or at least that’s how it feels. Talk therapy can provide that safe space for healing and help regain hope.
