Therapist

Virtual • Alabama


Hello! I have over 25 years of experience walking alongside individuals through both challenging and transformative moments. I believe people heal best when they feel genuinely seen, understood, and supported, and I strive to create a therapeutic space where clients can safely explore their emotions, experiences, and personal growth without judgment.

I help individuals build resilience, expand their capacity to tolerate distress, and strengthen emotional regulation skills that support long-term well-being. My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and tailored to each person’s unique needs and goals. I believe meaningful change happens over time, and I work to support clients in growing at a pace that feels both safe and empowering.

I'm passionate about helping people through life’s toughest moments—whether you're feeling overwhelmed, stuck, anxious, or healing from something painful. If that sounds like you, we may be a great fit.

I specialize in working with teenagers, young adults, and women, and I believe that healing begins when you feel truly heard and supported.

I’ve been in practice since 2022, and hold a Clinical Social Work License. I have extensive experience supporting survivors of abuse and trauma. I’ve also worked closely with young adults and women as they face the unique pressures and transitions of early adulthood.

I’m a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner with over 30 years of nursing experience, including ED psychiatric crisis care and extensive work with geriatric patients with dementia and their families. I provide behavioral health evaluation, crisis-focused intervention, emotional regulation support, and structured therapeutic exercises for children, teens, adults, and caregivers. My focus includes anxiety, depression, trauma, ADHD, insomnia, emotional eating, and behavioral patterns affecting weight and functioning.

I do not provide medication management, but I refer patients to prescribing providers and offer clinical recommendations to support continuity of care. My approach centers on assessment, stabilization, and practical behavioral strategies that patients continue at home to reinforce healing.
