Therapists in Alabama

I have a tremendous amount of respect for those who have the wisdom and courage to seek support in their endeavor to create the life they want to live. I am passionate about helping others live up to their fullest potential and reach the goals they set for themselves. I believe that we all continue to evolve throughout our everyday experiences. I believe that life's challenges and successes don't always look exactly like we thought they would. I'm passionate about working with clients on personal growth, and find both individual and group sessions equally satisfying.

As a therapist, I believe connection brings about healing. Because people are so unique, I don’t use a one-size-fits-all approach. Rather, I enter the counseling relationship authentically and meet my client where they are. From a practical standpoint, I enjoy helping people identify their attachment styles and how they approach the world and the people around them. I often incorporate techniques from ACT, CBT, and Positive Psychology, as I’m ultimately about empowering my clients to have the tools to live a healthy and thriving life.

I am a positive psychology practitioner.

" What lies behind us and what lies before us are small matters compared to what lies within us. " Ralph Waldo Emerson. I believe human beings are remarkably resilient to life circumstances. Each of us face obstacles to happiness that life brings our way. Throughout each human's lifetime he/she will face stress, grief, loss, disappointments, life changes, sadness, and challenges that stretch limits, question our place in this world, and prompt us to seek wisdom and guidance. To reach that goal, I implement Mindfulness, CBT, Boundaries, DBT, Self Esteem, Relaxation techniques, and reading recommendations as part of therapy.

"You are strong enough to face it all, even if it doesn't feel like it right now" . This quote speaks quite loudly to me because upon reflection, I find that Life has a way of interfering when I am busy doing something else. I have spent the better part of 25 years learning who I am and have willingly and sometimes unwillingly faced harsh realities I would not chose for anyone, much less myself. One of the most important things that has proven to be true for me, is that if I can find meaning in events that shattered my world or at the very least, shook it up, then my understanding and insight increased and I could find peace.
