Therapists in Alabama

I am equipped to work with individuals who may have personality disorders, suicidal ideation, depression, and/or self-harm. However, I operate from the perspective that the client is the expert. It is my job to empower their autonomy, meaning, and hope already within them. As you color the room, I hope to make the space safe enough to make observations about your values, not mine. What is important to you? What does therapy look like to you? Let us accomplish the goals you already have set out, and discover new ones together.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and a Board Certified-Telemental Health Provider with over fourteen years experience in mental health and substance use disorders.

Together we will collaborate to devise a treatment plan based on your primary presenting problem and any secondary problems. All treatment plans are individualized to fit your particular goals for a more fulfilling life. Assessment is ongoing and goals of treatment may change.
