Trauma and PTSD therapists & psychiatrists in Birmingham, AL

I’m an independently licensed therapist in Alabama, and my background includes working full-time as a substance use counselor while also providing evening virtual therapy. I especially enjoy working with teens and adults, and I’m drawn to this work because I believe therapy should help people feel more free, more grounded, and more like themselves again. It means a lot to me when someone trusts me with the parts of their life that feel messy, painful, or overwhelming. I want therapy to feel like a space where you can be honest, feel respected, and begin building real momentum toward the life you want.

Hi, and welcome — I'm really glad you're here. I've been a licensed therapist for 8 years, and in that time I've sat with people through just about every kind of hard season: anxiety that won't let up, depression that makes everything feel heavy, the pull of substance use, anger that's costing you relationships, or a life transition that's left you unsure of who you are right now. Wherever you're starting from, you don't have to sort it out alone.

I work with adults navigating anxiety, depression, substance use disorders, anger management, relationship struggles, and the specific pressures that come with men's and women's issues. I earned both my undergraduate and graduate degrees from Troy University, and what grounds my work is a simple belief: change is possible for anyone willing to be honest with themselves — and I'll be right there alongside you for it.

I am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker supporting adolescents and adults through a variety of life challenges, including substance use, anxiety, depression, life transitions, relationship difficulties, and the everyday stressors that can leave us feeling overwhelmed or stuck.

My professional background includes substance use assessments, individual therapy, and working with individuals at different stages of recovery and personal growth. I believe therapy should be a space where you can be yourself without fear or judgment. My approach is warm, compassionate, down-to-earth, and collaborative.

Reaching out can be very difficult, and I strive to meet each person where they are while helping them to identify strengths, build healthier coping skills, and create meaningful change.

My goal is to help you feel heard, supported, and empowered as we work together toward the life you want to build, and are deserving of.

When life feels overwhelming, it's easy to get caught in a cycle of anxious thoughts, emotional exhaustion, or self doubt that makes it hard to enjoy the things that once brought you joy. Anxiety, depression, OCD, trauma, or difficult life experiences can leave you feeling stuck, disconnected, or constantly waiting for things to get better. You don't have to navigate that journey alone. I partner with individuals experiencing anxiety, ADHD, bipolar disorder, depression, and OCD so they can find greater emotional balance, regain confidence in themselves, and build a life that feels calmer, healthier, and more fulfilling. Working with adolescents and adults, I strive to create a supportive, judgment free space where you feel genuinely heard, understood, and empowered to make lasting change.

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) who specializes in working with adolescents, teens, and young people navigating emotional, behavioral, and relational challenges. Many of the teens and families I support are dealing with anxiety, depression, anger outbursts, defiance, low self-esteem, school stress, peer conflict, family tension, and difficulty managing big emotions. Parents often come to me feeling overwhelmed, unsure how to help, or concerned about changes in behavior, mood, or communication at home.

I believe healing begins with feeling truly seen, heard, and understood. I provide a compassionate, nonjudgmental space where young people can safely express themselves, build trust, strengthen emotional regulation, and develop a stronger sense of identity and self-worth. My work also focuses on helping families improve communication, reduce conflict, rebuild connection, and create more stable, supportive relationships at home. My goal is to help teens feel more confident and families feel more connected.

Hi, I’m glad you’re here. Reaching out for support can feel difficult, especially if you’ve been carrying things on your own for a long time. With over 20 years of experience in social work and mental health, I’ve worked with individuals and families navigating trauma, stress, and life challenges in both community and clinical settings.

My goal is to create a space where you feel safe, respected, and truly heard. Together, we’ll work at your pace to better understand what you’re going through and begin building a path forward that feels manageable and meaningful.
