Finding the right therapist matters. I believe therapy works best when clients feel genuinely heard, respected, and understood. My style is conversational, collaborative, and direct, balancing warmth with honesty and practical feedback. I work especially well with individuals impacted by trauma, chronic stress, and moral injury arising from high-responsibility environments, including veterans, first responders, and medical professionals. Many appear highly functional outwardly while privately struggling with anxiety, exhaustion, disrupted sleep, or feeling disconnected from themselves, others, or the lives they once recognized.

I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who believes that healing happens best in spaces that are safe, honest, and non-judgmental. I work with those who are navigating stress, anxiety, depression, life transitions, relationship challenges, and the effects of trauma.
My approach is collaborative and practical. We will focus on understanding what’s showing up in your life, identifying patterns that may be holding you back, and developing tools you can use in real-world situations. I don’t believe in perfection—I believe in progress.
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.
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 am a Clinical Social Worker providing tele-health psychotherapy to adolescents, adults, and seniors across Alabama and Florida. My goal is to provide the evidence-based treatment, education, and encouragement necessary for you to achieve a more purposeful and fulfilling life.
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.

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 provide teletherapy for teens, adults, couples, and families, specializing in anxiety and depression.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an OCD Therapist in Montgomery
Searching for OCD therapists in Montgomery starts with finding a therapist trained in obsessive-compulsive disorder care. OCD can involve intrusive thoughts, compulsive behaviors, reassurance seeking, avoidance, and anxiety. Exposure and Response Prevention, often called ERP, is a common evidence-based therapy for OCD, and many people also look for therapists who understand related concerns like panic, depression, trauma, or stress. Since not all therapists who list OCD have ERP training, review each bio for OCD-specific experience, ERP, cognitive behavioral therapy, or other listed approaches that match what you want to work on.
In a mid-size city like Montgomery, you may find a mix of local in-person options and virtual therapists licensed in Alabama. Virtual care can expand your options if appointment times, travel, or office location are part of your search. As you compare therapists for OCD in Montgomery, look beyond specialty alone. Check whether they are accepting new patients, offer appointment times that fit your schedule, and provide a free phone consultation. Therapist profiles can also help you compare communication style, areas of focus, and whether a therapist describes specific ERP experience rather than general familiarity with OCD.
OCD therapy in Montgomery can be a significant cost without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand your out-of-pocket expense before you book. Headway helps you search therapists who focus on OCD, review their bios, verify insurance, and see estimated costs upfront. From there, you can compare virtual and in-person options, find a therapist who matches your needs and plan, and book directly when you’re ready.
