How many times have you come across experiences in your life and not been sure about how to move forward? Finding the best fit counselor can be challenging and a difficult process. There are many situations where we discount the positives and dwell on negatives. Ideally, we will work on finding your balance and a way back to a meaningful purposeful life. By providing honest, positive, and objective feedback to everyday stressors, difficult transitions, struggles with mental health or addictions to become the version of yourself you see and want.

The best time for a new beginning is NOW. I believe that the best counselors are the ones who understands where you, the client, is coming from and I choose to meet my clients on their level to help them. It is my job to help you as a client reach your fullest potential by helping you navigate the challenges you are facing. Therapy means CHANGE. However, I believe that by working through the challenges, you can bring about understanding, action and CHANGE in your life. Therapy is not always fun but it is worth it in order to become "unstuck". Taking the first step to counseling is a sign of strength.

I am licensed in Alabama with 8 years of professional work experience.

My role as your counselor is to assist you in being able to deal with life's issues. I have a fairly simple approach. I work with you to identify the root of the problems in your life (depression, anxiety, family conflict, stress, issues with kids, etc), and then we collaborate together to find solutions that fit your needs with the goal of a healthier, manageable and more fulfilling life. Also, I know that life is hectic and I do my best to accommodate your schedule at my physical office, as well as offering telemedicine services if that is more suitable for your busy schedule.

When seeking therapy I believe it is important to find a therapist you trust, have good rapport with, is knowledgeable of your issues, and has experience treating your current issues. Having been in private practice since 2010 I have worked with a variety of clients from diverse backgrounds. The one thing I have found that people desire to achieve from therapy is hope and solutions to their current problems. Whether it is anxiety, depression, life transitions, parenting, addiction, or any other issue it’s important to understand that is a season of life, it will change, and there is hope.

My personal philosophy is, therapy is not one size fits all. Meet people where they are and help them to learn how to live their best life possible. I have had the privilege of counseling in military health facilities, community and inpatient mental health, substance abuse clinics, private practice, and public-school systems. I utilize a holistic, mindfulness, and if requested, faith based approach to counseling that can be included in treatment.
