I love helping others to see and become the best version of themselves. I'm passionate about understanding others and being an open ear to listen no matter what life issues you have. l believe it's important to love yourself and evaluate your thoughts. I have done a lot of work with men, women, and adolescents addressing their substance use (sometimes helping them to fulfill an obligation of court or family). But I enjoy talking with people about all life issues--goals, anxiety, depression, self confidence, self-harm, relationship issues, family issues, and healing. I have overcome a lot myself and I'd like to see you do the same!

Imagine waking up every morning feeling like you can take on the world. How great does that feel? When I opened the doors of my practice, I sought to offer a wide range of counseling services to guide clients through life's challenges and most trying times. Life can get difficult, and sometimes a little help from a professional Mental Health Service Provider can make things better. I care about your well-being and my focus is to provide you with all the tools you need in order to seize the day and learn how to tackle even the most traumatic circumstances.

I can't do this anymore. I am tired of battling the same negative thoughts over and over. I am on a cycle of depression that leads to unhealthy coping which make me feel more shame and then the depression hits again. My relationships with my family are suffering. I feel stuck and unsure of which way to turn. Who can I trust? Can I really change?

Evening sessions available! Accepting new clients! Limited income-based (sliding scale) spots available. I do not have an "ideal" client. Instead, I strive to be the "ideal" therapist for each client. Every client presents with different problems, different goals, and different motivators. Therefore, it is my job as the therapist to meet each client where they are at and provide them with the services they need and deserve. The one thing that I believe all clients have in common is the desire to take action that will promote them to a higher level of functioning in their every day life.

I am currently licensed in Alabama and Georgia (inactive at present in Georgia), and am a board certified supervisor for those wishing to become licensed counselors. I focus on the use of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, so that my patient can change a negative pattern of thought that prevents joy. Dialectical Behavioral Therapy is also utilized in therapy.
