I received my Undergraduate degree from Samford University in Human Development and Family Studies and a Masters degree from the University of Alabama with a specialty in Marriage and Family Therapy.
Now accepting new clients. I believe we all have a story of how we think our lives are going to play out in our heads. When that story does not come true it leaves us feeling lost, sad, and sometimes angry. I provide a safe place to help people be able to make sense of life and start rebuilding themselves and their relationships.

I provide individual, family and group counseling using a variety of therapeutic interventions designed to fit each individuals unique needs.
AS PARENTS AND CAREGIVERS... we love our children unconditionally. Unfortunately, our love, no matter how great, does not always translate into a clear set of guidelines that tells us how to handle difficult behaviors, how to deal with the peer and social issues of this generation, how to help our children heal from trauma or abuse, or simply how to get our children to talk to us. Whether your child is facing challenges in one of these or in other areas, I would love to guide you and them through facing and conquering those challenges. NOT A PARENT? I didn't forget about you. Contact me to find out more about how I can help you.

Life isn’t always a walk in the park. Especially when others are unable to relate to what you feel and experience. You want compassion. It's hard to be your true self around others for fear of judgment. Society wants you to fit into a nice little box and it makes it impossible to be who you are. You can be surrounded by family and loved ones who care about you and want the world for you, yet you feel so lonely and isolated. Sometimes it feels like no one understands you and never will. The pain may seem unbearable. You struggle with so many personal issues and just want someone who can relate to you with the experience to help.

Waitlist for new clients
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 help women and adolescents struggling with the effects of anxiety on everyday life. The lie that anxiety tells is that it will always be this way. The cycle of overthinking, avoidance & shame create patterns that feel impossible to break. Unhealthy patterns of thinking leave us feeling exhausted, hopeless and scared. Your life is meant for so much more. Maybe you’re tired of the personal struggle, overwhelmed by transition, or you’re feeling helpless as a parent to an anxious child, but something has to give. You are ready to come up for air and walk in the confident hope of your future. I can help.

Family Therapy
What do family therapists do?
A family therapist facilitates the process of understanding and improving how a family functions. The therapist will help family members develop empathy for one another. They’ll seek to understand existing patterns, misunderstandings, and conflicts that arise, in order to help the family arrive at a realistic, unified understanding and develop the coping skills they need to build stronger relationships.
How long does therapy for families take to work?
Therapy manifests differently in every family; a common time frame is 12 weekly sessions, but some families may see improvement after just a few weeks. Families should discuss their goals with the therapist at the beginning of the process and periodically revisit those goals to assess their progress together.
How can you encourage a family member to attend family therapy?
You can encourage family members to attend therapy by expressing with both love and concern the challenges you see and explaining how a therapist could help the family navigate those challenges together. An outside perspective can help everyone feel heard, get on the same page, and develop new skills. If family members are still hesitant, it may be helpful to emphasize that family therapy is short-term—it won’t last forever.
Is therapy for families effective?
Family therapy can significantly improve family dynamics and relationships. Research suggests that family therapy can help individuals understand their role in the family, communicate and solve problems together, reduce conflict and draw boundaries when necessary, and develop coping skills for stressors, major life changes, and mental or physical illnesses within the family.
