Female Therapists in Cahaba Heights, AL

Are you feeling tired, low energy or dealing with overwhelming anxiety and emotions? I can help you manage these feelings with coping strategies so that your quality of life will improve.

Life inevitably will present challenges and along with them, opportunities for personal growth. As a therapist, I assist individuals in locating their internal compass, so that they can better navigate through life's obstacles. I provide a warm, supportive, and nonjudgemental environment, where I work collaboratively with the client to discover their strengths, along with what may be holding them back from achieving their full emotional and interpersonal potential. Through this therapeutic process, clients can gain insight and move forward in new and more fulfilling ways.

Welcome. Thank you for taking the time to check out Welcome Home Wellness - where my primary focus is on you. I believe it is a privilege to help people feeling confused, frustrated, anxious, depressed, or lost in life. I do not take the level of trust and vulnerability it takes to allow someone into your personal life for granted. Creating a safe, compassionate, non-judgmental, and nurturing space where you can heal and grow is what I hope to achieve together. It takes strength and courage to ask for help, and I find it an honor to offer support or a referral to help you navigate your way.

Reaching out for help is hard. As your therapist, my goal is to help you walk through what comes after asking for help. One of the most important parts of being a therapist is creating a safe space for you to share your story. I honor the courage it takes in being vulnerable and make every effort to create a space where you can feel encouraged to share.

I aim to serve individuals, couples, and families who desire understanding, healing, and healthier, deeper relationships. I have a background working with individuals with eating disorders, addiction, and general trauma, as well as experience working with couples and families suffering from relationship issues such as disconnection, infidelity, addiction, and trauma.

Have you been told you have PTSD? Or, do you have anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, or negative self-talk that all started with a traumatic event(s)? If so, you have come to the right place. People with trauma often find themselves spending countless hours in therapy but not getting lasting relief. That is because not every therapist is specially trained to treat trauma, and not every therapy intervention is able to access the part of the brain where traumatic memories live.

We all possess the tools needed for personal healing. Therapy can help you to develop the awareness needed to utilize these tools and put them into practice in daily life. Seeking therapy is brave and I consider the therapeutic relationship a truly meaningful privilege. We will walk through the process of personal discovery learning how to identify old patterns and self soothe through healthy coping. My work is grounded in Cognitive Behavioral interventions but I believe healing also happens in the telling of your personal narrative. My goal for this relationship is to help you foster the skills to become your own therapist.
