Emotionally Focused Therapists in Mobile, AL

As we navigate through the journey of life, we all have the same goal of finding wholeness and joy. At times, our path may bring us to dark places, leading us to feel stuck and overwhelmed by the anxiety, trauma, and grief we are facing. It is my honor to walk beside you on this journey towards healing and growth. My approach is grounded in empathy and collaboration, and seeks to uncover your strengths as you move closer towards who you are meant to be. The first step towards therapy can be daunting, but you are not in this alone.

I am a humanistic therapist, working from an attachment based perspective. As a humanist I believe in combining a non-judgmental and supportive environment with intellectual curiosity to work with you as a whole person, thoughts and feelings.  In our relationship, I believe we are partners working together to determine root causes and patterns to find the best way forward. I am not the expert on you nor do I strive to be. I look forward to talking with you – not at you. I strive to understand you – not judge you. I have a Masters Degree from Columbia university and close to 20 years of experience in the field of mental health.

As a mom of twins, I know how challenging parenting can be. Social media influences, self harm behaviors, impulse control, anger management, bullying and low self worth are just a few of the issues adolescents and their families must navigate. Better relationships within the family unit are possible. Seeing your child smile again is possible. Laughing with your children again is possible. Your adolescent making good choices again is possible. It just requires, change. Start Over, Start Now. Let today be your Day 1.

My goal is to meet you wherever you are as you begin your counseling journey. Perhaps you feel out of control, exhausted by life, anxious, or depressed. Maybe your marriage or relationship has reached a breaking point or you are in the middle of a life transition. I believe that the symptoms you are dealing with make sense in your unique story, and show the incredible resilience that we have to deal with life as we have known it. Sometimes these coping mechanisms no longer serve us. It is okay to realize things are not working! I have been there myself and would love to help you begin to find healing, hope, and a new path forward.

I believe that reaching out for help takes courage and that it is a sign of strength. Through providing a safe, confidential and supportive environment, my goal is to assist people with breaking down barriers that may be preventing them from seeking the help they need.

I have a passion for walking alongside people as they navigate the complexities of life. Maybe life seems too much to handle right now, maybe you've lost hope, maybe you've experienced tragedy, or maybe your life just is not the way you pictured it would be.

Life is hard. Sometimes we find ourselves trying to find happiness based on how other people define what happy should be. This can cause anxiety, depression, feelings of being lost or like you're not enough. Traumatic events, personal experiences, and life in general guide how we see the world and everyone's view is unique. How do you define happy? Lower anxiety? Less depression? Improved relationships? Maybe you haven't figured that out yet. That's where I can help.
