I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in Alabama with over ten years of experience in the field. I have worked with clients of all ages to address concerns and tackle life challenges, including but not limited to depression, stress & anxiety, relationship/family issues, self esteem and career difficulties.
My counseling style tends to be eclectic borrowing from several different theories. My initial approach would follow along most closely with client-centered therapy, working to develop a trusting relationship through genuineness, warmth and empathy. I am open-minded and strive to truly understand my client's struggle. Moving forward with the counseling process, a combination of behavioral therapy and humanistic therapy are integrated as I work with the client to identify areas of focus, how the client is experiencing the struggle and whether a change in thoughts, behavior or a combination of the two is needed. Each client is different and therapy is tailored to meet his or her needs.
Mental wellness is an essential part of a balanced lifestyle. Congratulations on taking the first step toward a healthier, happier you! I look forward to the opportunity to support you in this journey.
Additional areas of focus: Addictions, LGBT, Family conflicts, Trauma and abuse, Grief, Intimacy-related issues, Eating disorders, Parenting issues, Anger management, Career difficulties, Bipolar disorder
