Therapists in Alabama

I help adults and adolescents work through life's difficulties to become stronger individuals. I offer assistance to individuals dealing with relationship challenges, depression, anxiety, trauma, OCD, and substance abuse. Therapy offers the opportunity to live a more fulfilling life despite adversity.

Whether you need relationship counseling, life coaching, or clinical counseling for OCD, depression, or substance abuse, my aim is to partner with you to bring about the change you desire.

Sojourn means "to stay for a time in a place or to live temporarily". This is my view of our life on earth. It is a temporary stay, and our time here can be difficult, confusing and painful at times. Sometimes, we need help navigating. I believe that we each have a unique story and set of experiences that make us who we are. What we believe about ourselves and the world around us impacts how we feel and respond to life. I'd like to help you navigate life so that you may have the most abundant life possible.

Hey! You know, there are times in our lives when we ALL need a little extra support. You don't have to go through life alone. None of us have perfect lives and sometimes it takes an objective 3rd party to help you see things in a different light or even to simply have someone talk to. I'd love to be that person for you! If you're willing to allow me to help you meet YOUR goals and address YOUR needs, you can make the progress you are looking for! You can also find me at mindwarriorwellness.com. Please either send an email or leave a message to ensure a callback.

Sometimes we get stuck. We may find ourselves repeating familiar patterns that, while fiercely self-protective, no longer serve us in the present moment. We may not be able to find our sense of safety and connection which can leave us feeling hopeless for a brighter future. I want to reassure you that despite what might feel like relentless suffering, there is always hope for healing. Together, we can explore ways to reconnect with the body’s innate wisdom, fostering a sense of safety regardless of past experiences. I specialize in C-PTSD, anxiety, depression, OCD, and chronic pain.

Emotional pain can leave us feeling anxious, depressed, and overwhelmed but I have great news! There is a path, a way out, for you to heal and experience peace and joy.

I understand the dark nights of despair and how hard it is to reach out. So, I find you to be courageous, right here and now – taking a step to figure out if I can help. And the answer is ‘absolutely!’

I meet people where they are and guide them in both identifying and achieving their personal goals moving forward.

I work primarily with children, parents, and guardians seeking support for navigating the complexities of traumatic experiences. Trauma can affect every aspect of a person’s life, and in children can often lead to maladaptive behaviors and emotional distress.

The ultimate goal is to foster resilience, emotional regulation, increase healthy coping mechanisms, and restore a sense of security in you or your child’s life.

Are you ready for change? Austrian psychiatrist and psychotherapist, Viktor Frankl stated “When we are no longer able to change a situation, we are challenged to change ourselves”. I have built most of my work around studying trauma and the effects it has on a human. Trauma defined is an event or circumstance that is beyond a person's ability to cope properly. Many symptoms like anxiety, depression, dissociation, fatigue, and guilt follow trauma. Trauma is scary and I do not believe we were meant to do life alone. I offer to serve as someone who can collaboratively walk through the trauma with you.

I strive to create a space of comfort that allows for vulnerability and trust to engage in the therapeutic process.
