Therapists in Alabama

We are all unique and so are the struggles we face daily. Being unique is great, yet there comes a time when we are faced with challenges, feeling stuck, frustrated, angry or simply misunderstood. It is during these times that it is beneficial to seek someone outside of that current situation for fresh insight, an objective perspective and a listening, non-judgmental ear. Sometimes an outsider looking in may be exactly what you need in order to identify and develop the best solution to meet your unique and individual needs. Life is full of ups and downs- in therapy we learn how to maneuver through the waves of life.

Hi, you are so brave to take the first step in the counseling journey. This world can be unkind, confusing, and overwhelming and there are times when we all need someone to help us navigate it. For almost 20 years I have been helping individuals and families find healing on their journey. Whether you are struggling with depression, anxiety, adjustment issues, grief or trauma, your story is welcome.

My ideal client is one who is ready for change. I don't know many people who change when they are comfortable. By the time an individual or couple walks into a counseling office, they are usually in enough discomfort with their current reality that they are ready to work towards something new. I want to join with clients to identify what is not working, the source of their discomfort, and help set them up for and walk with them into successful healing, change and overall health.

I am passionate about walking alongside individuals who may be struggling with the effects of trauma, relationship issues, depression, and anxiety. My goal as a therapist is to provide a safe space where individuals can feel seen, heard, and valued. I believe that greater awareness, coping skills, and the ability to own our stories are powerful tools for healing. I am honored to be a witness to my clients' journey in realizing their own strenghts and capabilities.

We all experience ups and downs in our life. Sometimes we have good friends or family members that we can talk to who help us get through the difficult times. Other times we may need more help than those friends or family members can provide. If you find yourself at such a point in life, then I would be happy to talk with you and explain my services. A marriage and family therapist can help you identify the underlying issues and learn skills to promote healing and restoration of relationships.

I have committed myself to being a knowledgeable and competent professional equipped to help a wide spectrum of clients from all walks of life who may have an equally wide range of needs. I believe you are the expert of your story, and you have many strengths that will assist you in overcoming the things that challenge you, cause you distress, or make you feel “stuck”. I am trained in a variety of treatment modalities to fit your needs so my approach is very client-centered; what may work for one individual may not work for the next even if there are similar diagnosis or challenges. I welcome the opportunity to work with you!

I work from integrative and trauma-informed lenses to provide treatment that considers the body and its functioning as a whole along with your goals for best results. I proudly serve adolescents, young adults, and adults and have experience working with a range of diagnoses and treatment settings. I currently specialize in teens and young adults struggling with life transitions, anxiety, perfectionism, OCD and related disorders within my outpatient practice. I offer TeleHealth for those in need of remote services within Alabama.

I see the counseling process as an invitation to approach your unique story with compassion and curiosity. It takes courage to take an honest look at what has happened in your life and how it has impacted the way you live. I am always in awe of my clients' bravery as they seek healing and restoration.

My clients are college age students. 40-50% of students report having some sort of anxiety that affects their studies in school. Our services are matched to student issues such as ADD related problems, roommate issues, friendship or dating issues, and a variety of other issues that come up during this particular time. Typically, it’s the first time students have lived on their own and made decision by themselves and it can be stressful! Sometimes, students find themselves thinking about families issues such as parental divorce or other trauma they haven’t processed before.

Are you tired of feeling guilty and responsible for other adult's feeling and problems? Do you use alcohol or drugs to numb emotional pain? Or, are you having problems with relationships in the family, at work, or with friends? Do you feel stuck or helpless, have trouble making a decision? If you are tired of feeling sick and tired or you are feeling physical pain, I can help with all of the above. It is particularly important to me to assist in setting goals and giving practical tools for them to achieve their goals.

Do you struggle with feeling disconnected from yourself and others? Do you put your needs at the bottom of the to-do list? Do you wonder if life should feel somehow better? Happier? Now more than ever, people are feeling anxious, overwhelmed and uncertain about how they are supposed to manage their relationships, careers and their lives. Pushing away your needs.

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.

No matter what your challenges are , it takes time , it takes a positive attitude , and it takes Action! Let me help you get into a better mindset and learn to overcome these challenges with effective, personal growth!

We each have a unique story. Often, those stories can include very difficult & painful events or seasons that can negatively impact our view of ourselves, how we relate with others, & our ability to live & cope with life in the ways that we desire. This can lead to feeling confused, overwhelmed, exhausted, stuck, or even hopeless. Trauma, loss, difficult relationships, & other life disappointments can all wreak havoc on our bodies, minds, emotions & relationships. Things CAN be different. Relief, growth & healing are possible. It takes tremendous courage to reach out for help. We are not meant to walk our journeys alone.

No matter your age, occupation, or lifestyle every lived experience thus far in your life has contributed to who you are today. These experiences have shaped your way of seeing the world ultimately effecting your thoughts and actions. Therapy provides you a safe space to deeply explore these experiences, thoughts, and actions or even just vent about them. I believe that you’re the author to your own life, and therapy can be a great place to turn a new page, start a new chapter, and write your book in the way you want.

Through my career I have worked with a variety of individuals dealing with many different issues. I have worked with all ages and all stages of life. I have found that, regardless of life stage or difficulty a person is facing, meeting the person where they are is one of the most important aspects of therapy. I am passionate about creating an environment in which my clients feel comfortable being vulnerable so that they can best work towards their goals. The majority of my clinical experience has been working with children, adolescents, and young adults experiencing anxiety, depression, and trauma.
