Therapist

Virtual • Alabama


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.
