Let’s talk about how you’re REALLY doing. You may be dealing with anxiety, depression, life transitions, or relationship struggles. You’re trying to hold it all together, but you need help. Whether you’re in need of emotional support or trying to revive a relationship, the work is the same: helping you uncover what you need, why it matters, and how to communicate it in a way that feels true to you.
I offer a supportive space tailored to your needs. For individuals, we’ll identify thought patterns and build tools to manage emotions. For couples, I focus on helping you understand each other’s needs and communicate in a way that creates connection instead of conflict.
My work on the behavioral health floor of Children’s of Alabama has taught me just how resilient people are—and how much faster healing happens when you’re not doing it alone. Whatever you’re facing, you don’t have to navigate it by yourself. If you’re ready to take the next step, I’d be honored to walk alongside you in your journey.

I am a Christian and can integrate spirituality into counseling, but only if you feel comfortable and invite it into the process. I welcome all clients, regardless of gender, sexual orientation, religious beliefs, or any other aspect of identity. My priority is to create a safe and supportive space for everyone!
