Do you feel constantly on edge, emotionally drained or stuck in relationship patterns that keep repeating? Is your teen overwhelmed by big emotions and not sure how to cope?
Anxiety and depression don't just affect our thoughts—they can keep our nervous systems in survival mode, impacting our relationships, our patience, and the way we see ourselves.
I work with Alabama adults and teens to slow things down, understand patterns like attachment or codependency, and build real tools for boundaries, emotional steadiness and healthier relationships. My style is warm, practical, nonjudgemental, and down to earth.
I am a licensed professional counselor in Georgia and Alabama and have been working as a therapist for 16 years. Currently, I am only seeing female clients in order to align with my clinical focus. As a Christian therapist, I specialize in faith-integrated counseling for women who wish to bring their spirituality into sessions. I offer therapy that integrates biblical principles with evidence-based practices, helping clients align their mental, emotional, and spiritual well-being. While this is my area of specialty, I work with individuals from all walks of life and honor each client’s unique beliefs and values.
My experience is broad in that I have worked with clients of all ages with a variety of issues and diagnoses, especially with those facing trauma, recovering from addictions, coping with anxiety and depression, and moving through life changes such as grief and relationship/family changes. I hope to create an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment. It takes courage to take the first steps towards change, and I am here to support you in your journey.
Thank you for taking a moment to view my profile. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker I serve the adult and geriatric population. I am a proud graduate of both the University of Georgia Graduate School and the University of Alabama at Birmingham.

I like to work off of the principle based on a quote by Zora Neal Hurston: " If you are silent about your pain, they’ll kill you and say you enjoyed it.". I believe that healing comes from giving your pain a voice and finding healthy ways to cope and explore who you have become through the pain. Healing in and of itself can be painful, but finding supportive and safe community can help ease some of the discomfort. I believe in therapy because I invested in therapy for myself for several years- I know the benefit of having someone to walk in the darkness with you.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Postpartum Therapist in Huntsville, AL
Finding postpartum therapists in Huntsville starts with looking for care that matches the concerns you want to address. Postpartum support can include more than postpartum depression. Many people also look for help with postpartum anxiety, birth-related stress, identity shifts, relationship strain, or adjusting to new routines. As you compare therapists, look for listed experience in perinatal mental health, postpartum care, or maternal mental health. The PMH-C credential can also signal specialized training in perinatal mental health.
Huntsville has a range of postpartum therapists, and virtual care can expand your options when local availability, infant care, or physical recovery shape your schedule. Some people prefer meeting in person, while others choose virtual sessions because they fit more easily around feeding, naps, appointments, or support at home. Before booking, review each therapist’s profile for appointment availability, therapy approach, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. Bios can also show how a therapist describes their style, which can help you decide who may be a good fit.
Therapy in Huntsville can be a significant expense 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 starts. Headway helps you search postpartum therapists who are accepting new patients, review detailed profiles, and see estimated out-of-pocket costs after entering your insurance details. From there, you can compare virtual and in-person options, browse therapists, and book directly when you’re ready.
