If you are curious about what virtual therapy with me actually looks like, here is what you can expect:

  • I am an active participant: Therapy with me is a two-way street. I provide feedback, teach concrete skills, and actively help you problem-solve.
  • I focus on the practical: While understanding your past is important, I place a heavy emphasis on what you can do today to feel better tomorrow. We will spend time learning and practicing actionable skills.
  • I value your comfort: I have over a decade of experience, but you are the expert on your own life. I will never push you to share more than you are ready to, and we will always move at a pace that feels safe for you.
  • I am committed to your growth: I am committed to your growth: By helping you recognize your own strengths and practice concrete coping tools, my goal is to ensure you feel fully equipped to move forward independently.

I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who believes that healing happens best in spaces that are safe, honest, and non-judgmental. I work with those who are navigating stress, anxiety, depression, life transitions, relationship challenges, and the effects of trauma.

My approach is collaborative and practical. We will focus on understanding what’s showing up in your life, identifying patterns that may be holding you back, and developing tools you can use in real-world situations. I don’t believe in perfection—I believe in progress.

Clients often describe me as direct, supportive, and easy to talk to. I meet you where you are while also helping you move toward where you want to be. Whether you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or simply ready for something different, you don’t have to figure it out alone.

110 East Broad Street, 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.

I highly value relationships, influenced by my own cultural background. Distress that you experience, whether expressed in bodily pain or mental pain, may have roots in the hurt from your past and current relationships. This relationship could be person to person but also person to society and person to culture you are in. Distress from cultural and societal factors is also my focal interest and multicultural sensitivity and awareness is also how I approach counseling. Thus, my practice is based on interpersonal psychotherapy with a multicultural lens. Specific interests in my practice includes understanding what and how cultural factors (e.g., expectations, values) may influence client’s distress and somatic expressions of distress. I am also skilled in other approaches (e.g., cognitive behavioral therapy, emotion-focused therapy) and thus can meet clients’ needs accordingly.
