I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with graduate-level training in clinical mental health counseling. My professional background includes working with adults experiencing anxiety, depression, stress-related disorders, trauma, and self-esteem challenges. I use evidence-based approaches tailored to each client’s needs, including cognitive-behavioral and trauma-informed interventions.

I primarily serve adults seeking support with emotional regulation, life transitions, relationship concerns, and personal growth. My work is grounded in creating a structured, supportive environment where clients can develop practical coping skills, increase insight, and improve overall functioning.

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.

Are you feeling stuck between who you are and who you know you were meant to be? I help clients grappling with meaning, mortality, authenticity, and purpose. Using Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), I specialize in depression, anxieties, and addictions that have these deeper existential roots. I help people struggling with shame, loneliness, heartbreak, aging, illness, grief, and loss of meaning build a life worth living and a Self worth living it. I believe in building new skills. But my ultimate aim is to help you find and liberate your higher Self.

When you've been carrying anxiety, relationship stress, or the pressure of holding everything together for so long, it can start to feel like you're simply surviving instead of truly living. You may be showing up for everyone else while quietly wondering when you'll have the chance to take care of yourself. You deserve a space where you can let your guard down and be met with compassion instead of judgment. I provide virtual therapy for adults throughout Alabama, helping people navigate anxiety, depression, stress management, and relationship issues while also supporting family concerns, grief and loss, and women's issues that often become part of the same journey. My goal is to create a welcoming environment where you feel genuinely heard, reconnect with your strengths, and begin building a life that feels more peaceful, balanced, and fulfilling.
