Therapist

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.

Therapist

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.

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • Eufaula, AL


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.

Find the right therapist for you

Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Mental Health Therapist in Birmingham, AL

Searching for therapists in Birmingham starts with knowing what kind of support you want and which therapist specialties match it. People often look for therapy in Birmingham for anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, trauma, work stress, or life transitions. As you compare therapists, review whether their listed specialties, therapy style, and background align with what you want to address. Some therapists may mention approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, or acceptance and commitment therapy in their profiles.

Birmingham has a range of therapists across the city and nearby areas, so the right match often depends on both fit and logistics. You may prefer an office near home, work, or school, or you may want the flexibility of virtual sessions. Appointment availability, scheduling options, and whether a therapist offers a free phone consultation can also help you narrow your search. Reading therapist bios before booking can show how each therapist describes their approach, what sessions may feel like, and whether their communication style fits your preferences.

Therapy in Birmingham can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and make care easier to plan for. Headway helps you find therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, verify your coverage, and see an estimated cost before you book. You can browse therapists, review bios, compare availability, and book directly when you’re ready.

1 Cost may vary based on your location, age, and insurance coverage.
