Therapists in Alabama

I provide a personalized approach to therapy, rooted in current research in order to offer the most advanced and effective treatments for your unique concerns. The therapeutic relationship should be a collaboration, and as such, your treatment plan is tailored to meet your needs with particular attention to your personal values, past experiences, and current goals. The strength and resiliency of the human spirit drives and inspires my work and it is an honor to take part in your healing and personal growth!

Nearly all humans experience occasional difficulties that can interfere with their success or sense of well-being. Some need help with depression or anxiety. Perhaps the issues are surrounding parenting or an inability to regulate emotions in relation to a work concern. Possibly you and your mate just can't seem to get along anymore after several happy years together. Bottom line is YOU NEED HELP!

Sometimes we feel stuck. When we realize staying where we are isn't working, this can be a sign that it is time for positive change. If you're struggling with managing your thoughts and emotions, or maybe experiencing anxiety, depression, life transitions - therapy offers you a safe space to talk, and support in finding growth and healing.

If you've been stuck in a dark place, and are ready to work on yourself in a deep way with innovative and effective techniques, you've come to the right place! The growing practice of incorporating psychedelic medicine into mental health is a primary specialty, and I currently offer Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy, EMDR, and Brainspotting. Areas I'm most passionate about include trauma, eating disorders, existential crises, suicidality, philosophical and/or spiritual concerns, addiction, depression, anxiety, relationships, and who you are as a person. If working together feels right, I'd love to get to know you!

Are you struggling with guilt, shame, anxiety or depression? If so, I specialize in helping others overcome daily life stressors such as these and many more. Allow me to introduce you to a process that can help you break down barriers in your life and ignite those flames that were once lit with wholeness and joy.

I believe that my approach and personality create a safe environment for my clients to create lasting change. I been practicing counseling since 2016, I have over 7 years experience in substance abuse, and I have worked with clients of all ages. I also specialize in trauma and working with teens. Other areas of experience include anxiety, self-esteem, and grief, to name a few. I am currently taking new clients and providing in home therapy via video therapy, as well as in person sessions.

Somethings can be so sensitive or difficult we cannot talk to those who are involved. Maybe we need to discuss issues with those we are closest to us but can't or don't know how without causing conflict. At times we need someone who will listen judgment free. Relationships (self and with others) become “complicated” and impact our ability to function in our lives and cause distress and/or dysfunction often leading to poor coping and adapting skills, leading to depression, anxiety, suicide idealization, etc. Our sessions end organically. Our focus is on you and not arbitrary time restraints. We also offer 24 hour emergency support.

When your life doesn’t fit the stories they tell, when your experience doesn’t match a list of symptoms, when you’re ready to find, or perhaps recover, your voice. Many people feel silenced simply because their struggles and strengths are unfamiliar and misunderstood, or even denied, by others. The fear of being deemed unacceptable can be paralyzing.

I provide support for clients in making progress on their life goals, whether it's stopping negative thinking, or improving relationships, or dealing with other obstacles to well-being. My passion in counseling is to see clients grow by moving towards healthier ways of coping with stress and other life challenges. I have over 15 years of experience working with school-aged children and adults, dealing with a wide range of issues such as motivational difficulties, social adjustment, negative self-image, assertiveness, positive parenting, grief and loss, obsessive thinking, and self-hurtful behavior.

I work with clients who feel disconnected from others, themselves or life. I specialize in helping people with anxiety, including anxiety caused by trauma, whether it happened recently, in your far past, or both. Psychotherapy starts with the personal connection, so the first step is finding the therapist that is right for you. Once that is achieved, therapy can become a collaborative effort of determining goals, obstacles to reaching those goals, and the best paths forward. Ultimately, finding a therapist that you connect with is the biggest predictor of growth in therapy.

I am an LICSW Psychotherapist in Alabama who can help you break free from limiting thoughts and beliefs that create fear, anxiety, depression and emotional pain. As a trauma-informed therapist, I also seek to reduce self-sabotaging behaviors and patterns of toxic relationships. I provide a wide variety of psychoeducational materials and techniques to promote a higher level of knowledge, insight and coping skills. I help clients reach their goals and navigate through the healing journey. I utilize different treatment modalities tailored for individual needs.

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!

Good therapy works. However, there are often barriers between you and "good therapy." It's hard to find a therapist that is a match, hard to look at your life with honesty, and hard to work on becoming better. I'm a Psychologist providing therapy to adults and couples. I've worked with a diverse range of clients with all sorts of concerns, taught university courses on counseling, and currently work as a scientist within a digital health company. I know it's hard to find good therapy, but through all of my experiences, I've found one fact that remains consistently clear: good therapy works.
