Life is challenging. Everyone experiences life events expected and unexpected. As a therapist I believe in partnering with each client to assist them in identifying their specifics needs and goals to meet the identified needs for treatment success. I engage clients in a supportive and sensitive manner, yet I challenge clients to move them from their comfort zone to encourage their personal and professional growth.

Life is complicated. It is stressful. It is messy. And in a world where we value comfort, predictability, and convenience, we sometimes need help navigating these territories. We get lost in the chaos to the point where we no longer recognize the person in the mirror or the life we thought we created. We are missing the important things like connection, stil

Many believe expressing your feelings is a sign of weakness, creating a stigma surrounding mental health. However, the exact opposite is true! Knowing when to ask for help shows courage, strength, and wisdom. Physical and emotional health are tightly intertwined. When we know precisely what is wrong, we can face the problem head-on, allowing us to see firsthand that knowledge is power! Evaluation and assessment are KEY.

At Grand Oaks Counseling you will find a therapist who will listen without judgment and create a safe place to process your concerns. We will treat you as an individual and help you better understand yourself, your world and others, as well as how all this is connected to your current struggles.

I help people by listening to what they want from counseling, incorporating their values and Christian values to determine goals. Treatment plans are behavioral and specific using cognitive emotional reframing to achieve positive attitudes. Supportive encouraging confidential responses focus on the person's current and longer term situations. Goals are determined by assessing symptoms and circumstances using Biblical principals. Prayer is included as desired.

Now Accepting BlueCross BlueShield of Alabama and Aetna Insurance! Greetings!

Life so often gets in the way of us being who we really want to be, especially with the amount of distractions and chaos that we face today. I believe that we all have the ability to overcome those distractions and live life to the fullest. Sometimes those distractions are harder things like psychological or medical diagnoses, divorce, or other big life events that steal our energy and focus. Sometimes they are less dramatic but still effect us greatly, like moving, changing jobs, or having anxiety or depression. My focus in counseling is learning who you are, what your goals are, and how I can best help you achieve them.

Everyone experiences unexpected hardships at some point in their lives. Job loss, empty nest, and relocating are life changes that can be necessary, yet difficult to handle. And a crisis like divorce can cause such devastation that keeping a healthy mindset and getting free from destructive emotions can require outside help. Relationships can also become overwhelming, especially where substance, emotional or physical abuse is involved. While unstable relationships can't always be discarded, we can learn how to prevent or minimize toxicity from them.
