I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in Alabama who has spent 14 years working with individuals with a variety of mental illness diagnoses including psychotic disorders, anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship and family issues, and co-occurring conditions in the community mental health setting. I received my Master's Degree from Troy University in 2011 and have been working at the same company full-time since then. I have been married for 27 years, and we have 3 boys (25, 22, and 10). I like for our interactions to be conversational and will use reality therapy, cognitive behavioral approaches, and mindfulness. In this space, you are free to be who you are and talk about what is important to you. There will be no judgment, and I urge you to be real and talk about whatever you want. You are taking the first steps to a better life, and I am glad to be here for it.

It's hard to put into words how much Ruth has helped me -- there have been so many "I never would have thought of that" moments, and intensely personal support and encouragement, and she's just a beautiful, Godly woman who has a heart for helping. Like I said, it's hard to put into words. She's a treasure.

So far it’s been wonderful!! She is very comfortable. It is so easy to talk to her. It’s like talking to a certified girlfriend haha. I appreciate how honest and judgement free she is when talking to her and asking for advice. I also like how she relates with her own relationships to mine.

Ruth is such an amazing, supportive therapist. Her style is very laid back and casual (at least in our conversations) and that is just what I love. I don’t constantly feel like I need to solve a problem, but rather I can just share what’s on my mind and know that she’ll give me support. With that being said, though, Ruth can get down to business when need be and help me realize what may be going on and how to change it and what steps I can take to see improvement.

This is my first time in therapy and I’m so thankful I was able to be matched with someone who has been a lifesaver on my first try. She listens, she understands, she talks back with you, she doesn’t make it seem like you are just talking just to talk but most importantly she doesn’t judge. I would definitely recommend her to anyone going through anxiety or depression and I promise you will come out better in the end.
