Hi! I am a licensed therapist in Alabama with over 15 years of experience. I’m compassionate, non-judgmental, and have a great sense of humor. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, grief, relationship issues, and trauma.
My therapy style is warm and engaging. I strive to provide a safe and comfortable environment for my clients. I believe in treating anyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. I don't believe in stigmatizing labels. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, dialectical-behavioral, and solution-focused therapy. Therapy is about your goals and objectives, not what I think you should do. I will customize your treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs.
The fact that you’ve landed on my profile tells me that there is still hope in your heart. Hope that things can get better. Hope that you can live a better life. Hope that you no longer have to suffer. I understand what it's like to feel hopeless, especially when dealing with sudden loss. I've had past clients tell me that they felt comforted knowing that I could relate to their pain and suffering on a personal level that can’t be obtained from simply reading a book. Let me help you build on your hope and heal your painful experiences. I’m looking forward to working with you!
