Therapists in Montgomery, AL

Whether you’re experiencing distress or conflict within your life, experiencing professional changes, having difficulty coping with the loss of a loved one, experiencing a transitional phase in your life, or etc. through a positive therapeutic process growth can occur. Through an empathetic and safe environment, the therapeutic process can assist you in creating your optimal life.

I am accepting new clients and can be a source of support for them in developing and achieving their goals. I work with clients who are experiencing grief, family conflict, excessive worry, perfectionism, and depression. I also work with clients who have experienced trauma in their lives in order to help them process this in a healthy way and move forward into a happier future. I am trained in EMDR which is a specialized therapy used to treat trauma-related needs. I enjoy working with children to help them learn to manage anger, distractions, hyperactivity, feelings resulting from divorce, and school problems.

Daily changes can make the journey through life transitions difficult at times. The pathway can be impeded with barriers and obstacles that create a sense of helplessness and hopelessness. I allow the client to freely acknowledge their need for help and allow the patient to accept the responsibility to take charge and conquer their circumstances. I will enable the client to develop the tools needed to make positive life adjustments.

I have experience working with adults, adolescents, couples, and families and view therapy as your opportunity to grow healthier -- mentally, emotionally, behaviorally, relationally, and spiritually.

I have been a practicing counselor for the last 20 years and can honestly say I have enjoyed every single day. I am licensed in Alabama as well as Florida and have been certified as not only a Licensed Professional Counselor but also as a Certified Addictions Professional. I believe the challenges we face, although sometimes uncomfortable, teach us valuable lessons about who we are as people and allow us to tap into a strength we often do not realize we possess. Assisting my clients recognizing their strength is a privilege not taken lightly by me.

I believe that counseling enables people to be the best version of themselves. My goal is to empower you to make positive choices in your life. I also believe that one of the most important aspects of counseling is the therapeutic relationship between client and counselor. I feel this relationship should provide you with the confidence to navigate life's many challenges.

Welcome! I’m glad you made the decision to seek counseling and I look forward to helping you reach your therapeutic goals. Counseling is more than just venting. It’s a process that requires commitment, transparency, and honesty- for the client and the therapist. Counseling can lead to increased self-awareness, a better understanding of behaviors, and peace regarding your past. It can help you discover your purpose, improve relationships, develop effective coping skills, and find hope in stressful situations. Counseling can be challenging and consists of taking an in-depth look at yourself. However, it is worth it!

Do you struggle to break out of old patterns and make desirable changes? Many people struggle with navigating the challenges of life at some point and need a positive therapeutic alliance to assist along their journey. Searching for a Counselor can be one of the most challenging tasks and I am so glad you stopped here! I am the owner of a small group practice dedicated to providing you with a network of licensed clinicians to assist you on your journey of emotional wellness.

No matter what your challenges are , it takes time , it takes a positive attitude , and it takes Action! Let me help you get into a better mindset and learn to overcome these challenges with effective, personal growth!

My priority is to offer a therapeutic relationship where you feel comfortable and accepted in a safe and non-judgmental environment. I see my clients as a whole person, not as your presenting problem. It is imperative to me that you feel heard and understood. I love being a therapist and my goal is to instill hope and peace back into your life.

A few simple words can change everything. "I love you." "You have cancer." "I want a divorce." "You're hired." "We regret to inform you..." Just like that your life has veered onto a new road, and ready or not you must either adjust or crash. Therapy can be integral to navigating life's changes and challenges. You don't have to go it alone!

Sex is a normal, necessary part of human existence. Ideally, sex makes us feel happy, loved, and connected. Yet many people experience problems with sex including pain, lack of desire, or an inability to reach orgasm. Have you avoided talking to a sex therapist because you are afraid they’ll judge you? I will never judge you. Nothing you say is going to shock me, scare me, or make me stop working with you. Have you ever had a sexual encounter that was other than consentual but you didn't know who to talk to or even what to say about it? If so, I can help you work through your thoughts and feelings about sex and sexual experiences

I have a special interest in counseling male clients age 13 and up. I also specialize in seeing women who prefer to see a male counselor.

I help men break the stigma of therapy to get the help they need and deserve. I help clients with issues such as depression, anxiety, personality disorders, addiction, anger management, family conflict, communication, trauma, behavioral concerns, relationship problems, and many more.
