I'm passionate about helping people through life’s toughest moments—whether you're feeling overwhelmed, stuck, anxious, or healing from something painful. If that sounds like you, we may be a great fit.

I specialize in working with teenagers, young adults, and women, and I believe that healing begins when you feel truly heard and supported.

I’ve been in practice since 2022, and hold a Clinical Social Work License. I have extensive experience supporting survivors of abuse and trauma. I’ve also worked closely with young adults and women as they face the unique pressures and transitions of early adulthood.

I believe healing is a personal journey, and no two paths look the same. My role is to walk alongside you with compassion, support, and practical guidance as you navigate life's challenges, reconnect with yourself, and create lasting, meaningful change. I work with adults through various seasons of change including midlife, pressures of the sandwich generation, dealing with trauma, and relationship/communication challenges, anxiety and depression. I believe these seasons, while often difficult, can also become opportunities for healing, growth, and discovering a renewed sense of purpose.

I’m a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner with over 30 years of nursing experience, including ED psychiatric crisis care and extensive work with geriatric patients with dementia and their families. I provide behavioral health evaluation, crisis-focused intervention, emotional regulation support, and structured therapeutic exercises for children, teens, adults, and caregivers. My focus includes anxiety, depression, trauma, ADHD, insomnia, emotional eating, and behavioral patterns affecting weight and functioning.

I do not provide medication management, but I refer patients to prescribing providers and offer clinical recommendations to support continuity of care. My approach centers on assessment, stabilization, and practical behavioral strategies that patients continue at home to reinforce healing.

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 Therapist in Birmingham

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.
