About

I am licensed in Alabama with 16 years of professional work experience. I have worked throughout the years with individuals, children, adolescents, elderly, couples, families, and the LBGTQ+ community. My focus and experience include behavioral therapy, Play therapy, CBT, ADHD, DBT, depression, anxiety, trauma, grief, mood disorders, adjustment needs, substance use, and marriage counseling. My careers prior to beginning private practice consisted of working with children at an inpatient adolescent hospital, a bereavement counselor for hospice, a substance abuse residential therapist, in home counseling for troubled juveniles, group counseling, and a prevention educator. My years of field experience in a variety of areas of counseling is what makes me a well rounded counselor able to assist with immediate needs of my clients.

I feel very passionate about helping others as I have always had compassion and kindness towards people due to difficulties that I have faced in my own life. I have always been dedicated to my career and the people I work with in my field. I recognize that everyone is working through something in their lives that can often be too much to handle on their own. I feel that this is where I can come in to assist with lightening the load and would love to help others through this thing called life. I will work with my clients to create an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment. Taking the first step to sign up for therapy can take courage and I am proud of you for getting started!
