I'm an LPC licensed in Alabama offering telehealth sessions, and I work with individuals, families, and adolescents on a wide range of life challenges. What you'll get with me is straightforward: an experienced counselor who is direct without being cold, solution-focused without being dismissive of what you've been through, and genuinely invested in helping you build tools that last.
