Anxiety and depression therapists and psychiatrists in Enterprise, AL

Are you feeling stuck between who you are and who you know you were meant to be? I help clients grappling with meaning, mortality, authenticity, and purpose. Using Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), I specialize in depression, anxieties, and addictions that have these deeper existential roots. I help people struggling with shame, loneliness, heartbreak, aging, illness, grief, and loss of meaning build a life worth living and a Self worth living it. I believe in building new skills. But my ultimate aim is to help you find and liberate your higher Self.

Whatever brought you here — anxiety, depression, grief, the weight of a past trauma, family conflict, or just the accumulation of everyday stressors — I'd be glad to help. I'm passionate about helping people find real solutions to life's challenges. I earned my bachelor's in social work from the University of North Alabama and my Master of Social Work from the University of Alabama, and over eight years I've worked with clients facing alcohol and drug-related issues, severe and persistent mental illness, depression, anxiety, grief, and the ordinary pressures that can quietly become too much to carry. That range means very little you bring will surprise me, and nothing you say here will be met with judgment.

Healing happens when you feel seen, supported, and empowered to move forward. I work with individuals, couples, and families navigating anxiety, OCD, family conflict, anger management, and cultural & ethnic identity concerns while also helping clients facing depression, trauma, stress, grief, ADHD, relationship challenges, women's issues, physical health concerns, and life transitions. With more than 17 years of experience in mental health, I bring a diverse background that includes private practice, school counseling, and serving as an Infant and Early Childhood Mental Health Consultant. These experiences have strengthened my belief that lasting growth happens through meaningful connections—with ourselves, our relationships, and our communities. Whether you're seeking support during a difficult season or looking to create lasting change, I'm committed to meeting you where you are with compassion, respect, and practical guidance.

I am a licensed social work therapist in Alabama. I have 25+ years of experience in therapy and social services.

As a single mom of color, I have witnessed the extreme societal pressure placed on mothers to choose between their career or their children; leaving little room to even provide attention to their own self care. This ignited a passion within me to use my skills to support women to navigate through the chaos. My goal is to work with those women who may need help coping through these very real everyday stressors. Not a mom? That's ok! I can also empathize with the pressure placed on women of color in the workplace to work so much harder than their male counterparts. Its my hope to create a safe space for you to explore these feelings.

It can be challenging at times for women to have access to a therapist who can empathize with their experiences. Through a strengths based approach, I would love to share my personal experience with being a woman of color, a mom, a Christian, as well as a goal oriented professional in non-profit leadership and mental health.

Through this journey, I want you to find a sense of fulfillment, purpose, and self worth and I would be honored to take that walk with you. Our sessions will not be for me to "social work" you, but for you to unload some of the pressure and burden to make the ride a bit easier. No matter what it feels like, you got this... you can do this!
