Many of my clients come to therapy feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, exhausted by the demands of parenting, or struggling to adjust to life's transitions. Some are navigating the emotional ups and downs of pregnancy, postpartum, or new parenthood. Others simply want to feel more like themselves again. Therapy is not about "fixing" who you are. It's about understanding yourself more deeply, developing effective tools, and creating space for growth, healing, and meaningful change.
As a Licensed Professional Counselor in Alabama, I help teens, young adults, and adults find relief from anxiety, strengthen emotional resilience, and move through difficult seasons with greater confidence. My work integrates CBT, mindfulness, and EMDR, allowing us to address both the thoughts and experiences that shape how you feel today.
I am here to support you on your journey to becoming your best self and living a more fulfilled and happier life! Feel free to send me a message or give me a call. Let's talk about how I can support you!

I work with clients who may be struggling with anxiety, depression or trauma related to their past relationships and childhood upbringing. During the first sessions, we will create a plan to address those issues in healthy ways. Most of my clients see a gradual lifting of symptoms within a few months and sustained improvement thereafter.

I often use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy in my practice. In your first session, we explore what brought you to therapy and decide the best course of action to help you on your healing journey. With CBT, we look at how your thoughts affect your emotions and behaviors. With DBT, we utilize mindfulness and emotion regulation techniques for healthier coping.
