I work with adults and children.
Congratulations on wanting to make changes to enhance the quality of your life! I believe that most of us CAN make the changes we deeply want to, particularly if we have a knowledgeable advocate supporting us. I believe effective psychotherapy is often about both uncovering how we acquired the (literal or psychological) obstacles to our best paths and about the process of (emotional, cognitive and/or behavioral) skills' acquisition to remove those blocks. I strive to be a compassionate, trustworthy, and enthusiastic partner to my clients' growth processes.

Although I have not yet had the pleasure of meeting you, I already know that you are brave. Taking control of your mental health journey can be challenging and confusing. Sometimes, we experience seasons of life that negatively shape our view of self and the world around us. If you have been experiencing heightened anxiety, feelings of hopelessness, or stuck in the holds of depression, I want you to know that there is hope. I am very passionate about working with children, teens, adults, and families who are trying to find their purpose and joy after a trauma. My goal is to walk alongside you in this exploration of self and healing.

I have unique experience in working with children and teenagers, and while it's important that family be involved, privacy is my top concern; what's said in my office stays there.
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.

Child psychologists in Alabama provide mental health therapy to children and are experts in child development.
Every comprehensive review of therapy with children shows that all credible approaches, when performed by a competent mental health clinician, produce almost the same results. About half of all kids will get better. Of those that improve, 80% will show progress in a relatively short time (likely in fewer than six sessions), the remaining 20% will need longer-term support.
The best child therapists in Alabama build great relationships with the child and the parent. They also see the child's strengths and are open to hearing the child's possible solutions to the challenges the child faces. Finally, a good therapist appreciates the child's culture and is sensitive to the values of the child's community.
