About

I am an LPC in Alabama. I have a Bachelor's degree from The University of Alabama at Birmingham in Mass Communication and a Master's degree from Liberty University in Licensed Professional Counseling. I have been certified in Motivational Interviewing (MI), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT) and Experiential Therapy (ET). Currently, I and own an out-patient practice however my prior experience includes work as a substance abuse counselor and therapist in a group home and mental health hospital.

I have worked with clients from a variety of populations with depression, anxiety, anger problems, parenting problems, PTSD, trauma , addiction issues and ADHD. My ideal client is looking to start a on a path towards personal enlightenment. My hope is to reach my clients where they are and uplift them through open communication and affirming sessions that guide them towards self actualization. I am here as a facilitator and I hope to be given the opportunity to assist clients while on the m path toward self-actualization. My focus is building positive cognitive behavioral practices and allowing clients to structure a foundation for a successful and promising future.
I believe in creating a space where clients feel a sense of welcome, belonging, and hope. A good counselor knows compassion and empathy, and I honor both in my practice every day. I hope to provide clients with the a safe space to heal and approach my practice with this intention daily. Therapy is challenging and takes courage and I am here to support you all the way.
