Therapists in Saint Clair County, AL

Just so you know, my eyes don't see the person you used to be, I only see the person you are fighting to become! This defines the work I do daily with my clients.

It means to be in the midst of those things and still be calm in your heart. Peace in your soul is obtainable, let me help you

I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor, extensive experience in mental health, substance abuse & spiritual issues as a Chaplain/Pastoral Counselor.

Seeking counseling is a very personal decision. Finding the right provider can be the most important step in the healing process. I believe I have helped so many clients because I use an array of tools and methods which I tailor to a client's unique goals. My approach is to work hard to understand a client's perspective and values. Sometimes this means helping the client explore and discover what that is for themselves. I lead AND follow - I may prompt, encourage, and confront, but I follow a client's pace (willingness and readiness) to delve into the issues.

I strive to help my clients gain increased awareness, live mindfully, improve their relationships, and recognize the messages and patterns that are holding them back from experiencing a more fulfilling life. My hope is to create a safe, nonjudgmental environment to help my clients use person-centered and strengths-based techniques to reach their goals. I primarily see my clients via telehealth and have limited availability for in person sessions.

If you need someone to talk to, I'm here to listen. I am passionate about supporting those who are coping with relationship issues, life transitions, depression, anxiety, and a wide range of other concerns. It takes courage to ask for help, and I respect your determination to become your best, strongest self. I partner with clients in a collaborative effort that is based on trust, compassion, and understanding.

As both a therapist and a person, I understand that life sometimes serves up hard-to-categorize problems that can be overwhelming. I'm very familiar with issues like depression, anxiety, and addiction, and my training and certification in EMDR allows me to be especially effective with trauma resolution and attachment repair. My career started on a hospital behavioral health inpatient unit, which has allowed me to become comfortable with some pretty intense situations, but my background is varied and I work well with all ages. Therapy with me is relaxed yet focused - and I promise not to ask you how that makes you feel.

It is my goal to help you heal and feel whole again. My hope is to meet you and make you feel like you’re talking to a friend in a safe space, where you feel heard, can be honest with yourself, and can start to feel relief. Maybe you’re going through a divorce; Are a newlywed struggling with your new chapter; Away at college and miss your parents; Can’t seem to keep up with life’s expectations; or feel like you just don’t know yourself anymore, I want to be the one person who you can depend on to be genuine, constant, and supportive.

I have experience working with adults, adolescents, couples, and families and view therapy as your opportunity to grow healthier -- mentally, emotionally, behaviorally, relationally, and spiritually.

The focus of our practice, is to assist adults, children, and families with obtaining relatable therapy, to reach goals. We assess situations in your life which contribute to current emotions behaviors and thought patterns. With child and adolescent clients our focus is similar, with the addition of close communication with the family. Moreover, with child and adolescents, we will focus on depression, impulsive behavior, limited attention span, oppositional/defiant behaviors, dishonesty, and social issues in school/home.

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 see adults, adolescents, pre-teens, couples and families who come to counseling with a variety of issues they want to explore. Some of these areas of concern include depression, anxiety, trauma, eating disorders, emotional, physical and sexual abuse, substance abuse, relationships, and grief. Some clients may want to reduce or eliminate negative effects of the issues they face. Others may want to change unhealthy habits or create healthier ones. And other clients may want to recover from trauma or abuse and find more positive ways of coping.
