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. Parents often come to me feeling overwhelmed, unsure how to help, or concerned about changes in behavior, mood, or communication at home.

I believe healing begins with feeling truly seen, heard, and understood. I provide a compassionate, nonjudgmental space where young people can safely express themselves, build trust, strengthen emotional regulation, and develop a stronger sense of identity and self-worth. My work also focuses on helping families improve communication, reduce conflict, rebuild connection, and create more stable, supportive relationships at home. My goal is to help teens feel more confident and families feel more connected.

Your Story. Your Purpose. Your Identity. Healing isn't about becoming someone new—it's about uncovering who you've always been. Life has a way of shaping us. Painful experiences, trauma, loss, relationships, and fear can leave us carrying beliefs and protective patterns that once helped us survive, but now no longer serve us. Together, we'll explore your story, heal unresolved wounds, challenge limiting beliefs, and reconnect with the authentic identity that's been there all along.

Find the right counselor for your family

Headway makes it easier to find family-focused support — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

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.
