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.

Areas of focus include:

  • Depression and anxiety
  • Relationship difficulties
  • Narcissistic abuse and emotionally abusive relationships
  • Rejection and abandonment wounds
  • Low self-esteem and shame
  • Codependency and people-pleasing
  • Trauma bonds and unhealthy attachment
  • Boundaries and assertiveness
  • Emotional and spiritual abuse
  • Divorce and relationship recovery
  • Stress and emotional overwhelm
  • Identity and self-worth
  • Christian faith and emotional healing

My practice is fully virtual, serving clients throughout Alabama, Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, and Nevada. I begin sessions with prayer and include biblical integration, along with practical tools and worksheets to support growth between sessions.

You may already know why you overfunction, people-please, silence yourself, or keep repeating patterns in relationships that leave you drained. Insight matters, but it is not the finish line. I help people turn what they know into boundaries, emotional self-trust, and choices that reflect the life they are ready to lead.

I’m a licensed psychotherapist, a nationally certified counselor, a former adjunct psychology instructor in higher education, and the founder of Mental Health Monarchs. With more than 15 years of experience in mental health, including 6 years as a therapist, I work with adults navigating childhood trauma, emotional neglect, family dysfunction, identity concerns, and toxic relationship patterns.

My style is intuitive, culturally grounded, curious, and compassion-forward. We’ll explore what is underneath your patterns without making therapy feel stiff or overly clinical. We can leave the work voice outside. I’m not code-switching with you. Cool?

This space is best suited for people who are ready for honest reflection and willing to begin using new tools in real time, in real life. I give homework.

I believe that seeking help is a courageous step, and I am committed to providing a compassionate, supportive, and nonjudgmental environment where you can work toward healing and personal growth.
