Hi and welcome! I am licensed in Alabama with 35 years of professional work experience, mostly including private practice. I have experience in helping clients with stress, balancing mind, body and spirit, grief, anxiety, trauma and past abuse, motivation, self- esteem, codependence (confusion & fear) and confidence, as well as, mild to moderate depression. Facilitating self-love, life-purpose and empowerment is key. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. I will meet you where you are, really listening on a deep level and I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. Taking the first step to seeking a more fulfilling and happier life takes courage. I am here to support you in that process.

Darlene is, by far, the best therapist I've ever worked with. She listens, understands, is compassionate, and helps keep me grounded. As a survivor of marital abuse, it's not easy for me to trust people. Darlene has, from Day One, been supportive, encouraging....I REALLY just can't say enough about how much she helps me.
