I am a Licensed Professional Counselor, based in Birmingham, Al servicing children 5-18 and families in need of therapeutic guidance. As a therapist it is my role to create a safe space for individuals and families to compassionately explore their journeys and assist them in reaching their full potential. I believe gaining insight into ones core self and accepting our past experiences as guided lessons lead us down the path to find the specific aspects of ourselves that makes us so unique. I support the notion that we don't need to be "broken" to need healing, yet we may simply desire the evolution of self.

I have spent the last three years working with various individuals who presented with primarily substance abuse issues. However, issues of depression, anxiety, sexuality, communication, and family dynamics were underneath the presenting problem as well. My clients all sought one thing: a different story than the one they had been currently starring in. Together we laid the groundwork to start changing that story. And together you and I can do the same.

You can improve performance, achieve goals, and feel well, even though you may have doubts. Sometimes you may be unaware of what actually causes you to feel as anxious, depressed, indecisive, guilty, overwhelmed, or angry as you may feel. With stress arising in relationships or work, you may sometimes wonder, "Why is this happening to me again?" I collaborate with my clients to plan strategies to resolve stress so they can feel more in control and confident. I also assist with performance enhancement to foster improvement in public speaking anxiety, social anxiety, test anxiety, work inhibition/procrastination, stage jitters, blocked creativity, etc.

Now accepting BCBS Insurance. You’re on call 24/7, always needed, always giving. While caregiving is your passion and your calling- you're just exhausted. You want and need to be there for the important people in your life. You've dedicated yourself to helping clients, customers, family, friends, or patients in need. But somehow it's simultaneously fulfilling and draining. You need a vacation. But who needs those anyway? You'll be okay... right? Giving is a noble value. It is so important to leave this world better than you found it. But you can't pour from an empty cup.

I think of a therapist as a wise guide who enters into the life of another human at a time of crisis and provides a compassionate, safe environment in which a person can experience himself more fully - explore, identify, and take initiatives to lessen the causes of her distress. The ideal therapist is one who, above all else, is an advocate for the freedom and well-being of another. The therapist, like spiritual guides of old, offers a balance of acceptance and challenge in helping the person become her best self. By challenge, I mean holding an individual accountable to himself and his potential for purposeful, dynamic living.

Mississippi blues legend Robert Johnson recorded “Hellhound on My Trail” in 1937, singing “I got to keep movin’/blues fallin’ down like hail/and the days keep on worryin’ me/there’s a hellhound on my trail.” This song is a classic because most of us have experienced thoughts and emotions that seem both unbearable and inescapable. We try to run, but that feeling follows close behind, like a hellhound on our trail. People who call me seeking therapy are tired of running. They’ve tried to distract themselves, they’ve tried alcohol and drugs, they’ve tried psych meds and external changes to their lifestyle-and this thing keeps following
