You may feel hesitant about taking the next step—unsure where it will lead. My clients long to feel safe, heard, and supported as they face challenges, process emotions, and explore new paths. Together we’ll move at a pace that feels right for you, building confidence and clarity along the way. I offer guidance, tools, and space for healing so you can feel better and create the change you’re ready for. Limited in-person sessions available in Mobile, AL; online for everyone in Alabama and Florida.
Listening, exploring thought processes, positive reframing, and mind-body approaches including mindfulness, tapping, and brainspotting are the primary techniques I use. Through these techniques, upsetting emotions and blocks start to release. Hope and confidence begin to build. You can feel better. Change is possible.
Like visiting with a friend, our sessions allow us to connect in a space where you can feel safe. If online, you can be in your favorite chair with a pet or a teddy bear. Feeling relaxed and safe can help you be more open with your goals. Are you are ready to take the first steps to change your life? I look forward to meeting you soon! Email me!

Once a treatment plan has been created, we look at how your thoughts affect your perspective, your emotions, and your reactions to events in your life. We will look at different ways to challenge, reframe, and reduce negative thoughts so you can make forward progress on your treatment plan. This may include Cognitive Behavior Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and a somatic technique.
