About

I am a licensed professional counselor in Alabama and a licensed mental health counselor in Washington State with over 25 years of experience working with various populations as a psychotherapist, outpatient/inpatient and substance use/abuse counselor. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, low self esteem, substance use/abuse, school success, stress, parenting problems, career challenges, obsessive behaviors, grief, life transitions, personal identity and ADHD. I also helped many people who have experienced physical and/or emotional abuse as well.

My therapy style is warm and interactive. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I don't believe in stigmatizing labels. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, motivational interviewing, psycho-education, solution focused, measurement based and person centered therapy. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs.

I believe that we are all unique and valuable. I know that it takes courage to take the first steps towards change and hope to believe that it is even possible. If you are ready to take that step, I am here to support and empower you.

I look forward to hearing from and working with you soon!
