Women's Issues Therapists in Florence, AL

It's ok if you don't always feel good about your life or have negative thoughts & feelings about motherhood, and have days when you don't want to do it anymore. You can still love your baby as you wrestle with these feelings. I am committed to helping families as they navigate pregnancy & new parenthood when it is challenging. My medical training and experience as an MD created a firm foundation that enables me to understand physical issues like complicated or multiple pregnancies, children with special needs, delivery complications, and losing a child, and the mental health challenges that can come with those experiences.

Past clients have commented that they feel comforted and heard in our office, that we help them see things they never realized before, and that visiting our place is even like going on vacation!

Do you find yourself struggling with issues such as depression, anxiety, fear, anger, or insecurity? I aspire to bring joy and peace back to the wonderful people I get to work with on a daily basis. I loved working in the school setting as an elementary school teacher as well as a K-12 guidance counselor, and now bring this experience to my private practice. I especially enjoy working with children, teens, and women. Counseling with me will not be scary. I would love to help you discover your best self and eliminate what is holding you back!

It is important to have physical and mental well-being. Therapy is a process of self discovery and healing. I believe in the process and provide a safe and non-judgmental space where individuals can express their thoughts, emotions, and experiences. It takes time to work on one's issues but I believe in the process of growth and positive change. I believe that people are survivors and can overcome obstacles.

Seeking therapy can help in dealing/coping with the problems life may bestow on you. As a counselor, my goal is to assist you in finding your strengths to overcome obstacles that may be interfering with achieving your life goals. Whether it's coping with recent changes or past traumas, therapy can be a beneficial tool in assisting you in becoming the healthiest version of you.

Life's difficulties are inviting you to re-invent yourself. Choosing to take part in counseling is making the conscious decision that you want to make some changes and you want life to be better. Would you like to feel heard and understood? How about being interested in learning ways to help you manage problems, cope with anxiety, or get ahead of depression? I want to help you understand how old ways of thinking and acting may be keeping you from getting what you would like out of life.

“The Doctor Is In.” Well, not exactly; I cannot fix you, but I can help you develop the tools to fix yourself. “One of the most valuable things we can do to heal one another is to listen to each other’s stories.” (RF) I love the stories. The ‘why you do what you do’, when you don’t even know why you do what you do. That is what I want to help you find. There is no shame in asking for help. Everyone is different, so I use multiple methods to find what works for you to build the skills you need to cope with life. A sense of humor, some tough love, and no judgement to navigate your darkness is what I can provide.

Are you recovering from narcissistic abuse? Have you fallen out of love with your spouse? Are you having the same arguments over and over again or recovering from an affair? Are you having trouble with your teenagers or children? Are you experiencing anxiety or depression, overcoming an addiction, grieving or recovering from a painful divorce? Life's challenges can seem overwhelming, but you don't have have to face your (or your family's) challenges alone. My passion is to bring hope and healing to the most hopeless of circumstances. I am licensed in both North Carolina and Alabama and see clients via telehealth in both states.

Do you ever find yourself feeling overwhelmed or boggled down with everyday stressors and struggles? We have all been there before. I believe that everyone needs a supportive, objective person to talk to when they are struggling and deciding which move to make next. I can be that supportive person for you. I have experience in substance abuse, child/adolescent counseling, anxiety/depression, coping skills, etc... My main goal as a counselor is to make a difference in the lives of others, and hopefully provide you with helpful tools for whatever journey you may be on in your life.

My main goal in therapy is to help you find your inner power in order to take charge of your own life. I recognize that all human beings need love and approval; however, if we place the foundation of our worth in the hands of others, we condemn ourselves to a life of always trying to please. I believe the key to meeting this need is finding the deepest sense of love and approval within yourself. My therapeutic style is direct and honest without ever sacrificing compassion or empathy.

From 1994-2017 I had a private practice as a Licensed Professional Counselor . After retiring from that job, I began practicing as a Life Coach, which I do now via the internet as well as in person. My clients often feel stuck & need encouragement to identify the issues keeping them from moving forward. We then work together to formulate an Action plan. My job is to keep my client focused on following & completing that plan while enjoying the progress. I offer hope and support while clients work through troubling issues.

You don't need to feel alone in working to figure things out. With 13 years of experience in mental health and substance use services, I specialize in working with people of all ages to manage depression, anxiety, and trauma. If you feel stuck in your circumstances, this might be the opportunity you have been looking for to overcome these challenges. Over the years I have worked with people of all ages to have a safe, confidential place to talk through the things they are dealing with.

Everyone on occasion feels hopeless, helpless, frustrated, confused, alone, overwhelmed or even "stuck" in life, marriage, family, work, or relationships. Sometimes you just need someone to listen and understand and hope for you, your loved ones, or your current situation when you are unable or unequipped to be able to hope for or help yourself. A crisis can be defined as any situation that comes up in your life that you do not have a support network great enough to overcome on your own. If you are feeling in over your head, and unable to make it, I have great news for you . . .
