Therapists in Madison, AL

My goal is to help individuals and families find strength and power within themselves to achieve their personal goals and deal with moments of adversity. I strive to help people work through conflicts, traumas, and other significant life events in order to reach a healthy sense of healing and empowerment. I believe in promoting open communication, restoring trust in one's self, and utilizing effective coping skills.

I work with clients both adults and children experiencing any of the following: anxiety, depression, self esteem issues, trauma, drug and/or alcohol problems, family or relationship issues and more.

I believe that counseling should be growth oriented. My goal as a counselor is to help my clients develop the coping skills they need to flourish and move forward in life. Utilizing techniques like cognitive behavioral therapy, I will help you with identifying once distorted beliefs and thoughts and change them to productive thoughts and create actions to progress to the new thoughts and ultimately a new healthier life. I am a neuro-affirmative counselor. I work with families as well as individuals of all ages. I use play therapy techniques with children. I also have a certificate in Advanced EMDR Therapy Skills.

I am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker with Vallis Mental Health, offering individual counseling for adults. I graduated with a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology from the University of Montevallo in 2013 and obtained my Master’s degree in Social Work from the University of Alabama in 2015. As a therapist, I work to create a safe environment aimed at facilitating personal growth, connection, and empowerment.

Life can often be difficult and hard to navigate, but I believe in the strength and resiliency to grow and change. Therapy is a challenging, yet warm process that entails self-reflection and honest conversations. Most importantly, it’s an opportunity to learn new skills in a comfortable and safe environment.

Many people see therapy as a one-sided conversation, with little opportunity for interaction or getting to experience each other as real people. I want to help you achieve whatever solutions and life changes you are looking for while enjoying the process as much as possible and experiencing yourself in new ways. Simply put, I don’t believe therapy has to always be a painful thing. Calling a counselor can be intimidating, but I hope you will take a moment (and maybe a deep breath) to call and see how I can help.

Seeking help is not always easy. Many people grew up under the assumption that emotions and feelings are not outwardly discussed or displayed; others, have recognized the stigma that surrounds mental health issues. Fear of being labeled as mentally ill, may cause a negative impact on personal and professional goals; which is a common misconception in modern society. Such unhealthy thought patterns have led to ongoing, systemic problems in today's general populous. Courage to seek help is the first step to change. Change allows a fresh start and a different perspective on life.

Do you feel like you have to be “the bad guy” in order to get your child to listen or behave? Maybe you find it hard to connect with your child(ren) or even your spouse. Are they distant, always on their phones/laptops/tablets, or just want to be left alone? At this point does it feel like every person in your family - your child, spouse, parent(s), etc. - just might as well be speaking another language or live on another planet because you just are not understanding each other.
