Bipolar disorder therapists & psychiatrists in Birmingham, AL

I am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) who earned my clinical license in 2024. My journey in social work has been driven by a passion for serving individuals across every stage of life and helping them overcome barriers to living meaningful, fulfilling lives.

Before becoming a licensed clinician, I spent more than eight years as an Early Intervention Specialist and Supervisor with Project Wiggles and Giggles, where I worked with infants and toddlers from birth to age three who were experiencing developmental delays and disabilities. This experience strengthened my understanding of child development, family systems, and the importance of early support in creating lifelong positive outcomes.

In 2023, I obtained my Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) credential and began serving as a Licensed Mental Health Professional at Tutwiler Prison for Women.

Working within the correctional setting has allowed me to provide individual and group therapy to women facing complex mental health challenges. I facilitate therapeutic groups of more than 30 incarcerated individuals, fostering hope, resilience, accountability, and preparation for successful reintegration into their communities. My work emphasizes that every person is more than their diagnosis or circumstances. I believe in understanding the whole person by recognizing the impact of trauma, life experiences, and environmental factors on mental health.

My clinical experience includes working with individuals experiencing Borderline Personality Disorder, Antisocial Personality Disorder, Intermittent Explosive Disorder (IED), Major Depressive Disorder (MDD), depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), adjustment disorders, grief, and kleptomania. I am committed to creating a compassionate, nonjudgmental environment where clients feel safe exploring their challenges while building the skills and confidence needed to achieve lasting change.
