I provide experiential-based counseling services for all ages. It is important to me that you have an experience in therapy that is uniquely yours.

During your intake consultation, I will help you choose a path that will best meet your needs.
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.
Life can feel overwhelming when anxiety, depression, ADHD, anger, grief, or past trauma begin to take up more space than the life you want to live. You may be exhausted from carrying everything on your own, struggling to manage emotions, or feeling stuck in patterns that no longer serve you. I work with adults and teens who are ready for change but may not know where to start. Together, we'll create a space where you feel heard, supported, and empowered to heal, build confidence, strengthen relationships, and move forward with greater clarity and purpose.

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.

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.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Family Therapist in Huntsville
Searching for family therapists in Huntsville starts with finding someone trained to work with family relationships, not only individual concerns. Family therapy can support families navigating parenting conflict, adolescent struggles, blended family dynamics, communication concerns, and patterns across generations. As you compare therapists, look for experience with family systems, marriage and family therapy, or work with children and teens. A therapist’s bio can also show how they structure sessions and whether their approach fits what your family wants to address.
In a mid-size city like Huntsville, you may find a mix of local office-based therapists and virtual options across the area. Some families prefer meeting in person, while others need virtual appointments that work around school, work, and shared calendars. Family therapy may include the full family, specific family members, or one person at a time, depending on the goals for care. Before booking, review each therapist’s availability, whether they are accepting new clients, and whether they offer a free phone consultation to talk through session structure.
Therapy in Huntsville can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before care begins. Headway helps you compare family therapists who take insurance, review detailed bios, see estimated out-of-pocket costs, and book directly when you are ready. This makes it easier to find a therapist who matches your family’s needs, accepts your plan, and has availability that works for you.
If anyone in your family is experiencing or worried about abuse, threats, or coercion, joint family or couples therapy usually isn't the right starting point — individual support is safer. The Childhelp National Child Abuse Hotline (1-800-422-4453) and National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.
