Therapists in Alabama

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.

Make a choice.....create a change. I enjoy working with adults, couples and families with a variety of concerns. Depression, grief and compulsive behaviors can impact our relationships with others. I will spend time with you, increasing your awareness about unhealthy behaviors and to help identify new, more beneficial behaviors to improve your relationships. I have a special interest in working with clients who wish to explore forgiveness as a means to improve their connections with others.

My goal is to provide a safe space for my clients to share their stories and learn to love themselves. I believe that people learn how to act, react, and interact from their families and environment. Sometimes those patterns get in the way of the life they want. In therapy, I guide the client towards healing through providing a balance of nurturance and challenging so my clients can reach their goals.

As your therapist, I will guide you toward developing your own unique, healthy coping strategies without feeling ashamed for doing something to take care of yourself.

Finding the right therapist can sometimes feel like you're lost at sea. In the ocean, high tides helps sailors to navigate the waters. At High Tide Therapy Services, we help clients navigate their "ocean". The brain can be like an ocean, with emotions coming and going like waves.

It’s not working anymore. Maybe your relationships end up chaotic, maybe you are struggling to be happy, or maybe you have lost meaning in your life. Whatever it is, as hard and long as you have tried, maybe you can’t figure out how to fix it? I’ve been there in that dark place, and I found someone who was able to help me. I’d like to be that person for you. I’ve spent several years studying the pain people go through, and I’ve had my fair share. You won’t experience judgement, shock, or surprise. I am in recovery, and I am able to live life on life’s terms. Things can change, and hope is here for you.

Life can be hard to endure at times. I believe there is power in feeling seen and heard and I seek to give all of my clients that opportunity. If you are suffering from anxiety, depression, grief, trauma - you are not alone. You do not have to suffer in silence. Whether you are struggling with stress in your job or relationships, life changes/transitions, parenting concerns, low self-esteem, bullying, school issues, anger, or other issues, I welcome an opportunity to walk alongside you to find hope and healing.

Sometimes the experiences of life can make us feel as if we need quick and fast solutions in order to be ‘cured’ or ‘normal’. Can I tell you something? You are not a problem that needs to be fixed. You are a human, with human emotions and unique human experiences. Instead of trying to fix you, I want to listen. I want to know you, hear your story, and walk with you towards living the life that you deserve! I specialize in working with children, teens, and adults, seeking individual or family therapy. I work with clients facing a wide variety of issues such as anxiety, depression, trauma, and more!

Life can be overwhelming at times as one tries to navigate multiple obstacles that influence one's daily functioning. Experiences vary as do we. We learn to cope, grow and manage difficulties in various ways. Learning to trust yourself, being vulnerable with what you are feeling and regaining that inner strength is the ultimate goal. As a counselor, I hope to provide a safe, empathetic environment filled with unconditional positive regard to support you through your healing journey.

I believe that each of us are resilient humans that seek ways to survive and manage difficult situations/experiences. Whether you have an eating disorder, body image distress, symptoms of trauma, anxiety, depression, or are trying to navigate stressful circumstances in your life, I believe that there is hope for a fuller life.

This world is a broken place, and all of us are affected by that brokenness. Often, we seek to escape or cover the pain by pretending we don't hurt and looking to relationships and addictive behaviors to cope. As we avoid what's really happening inside, we can find ourselves struggling with depression, anxiety, and many other mental health issues. I look forward to working with clients who are hoping for a deeper level of healing and who are ready to do the courageous work of facing the truth about their story and how it has affected them.

I believe it takes bravery and strength to commit to confronting your most difficult challenges. Reaching out for help can be scary. My role as your therapist is to help you face and overcome your fears. It is important for me to create a safe, non-judgmental and supportive environment for all my clients. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion.
