Obsessive-compulsive disorder therapists & psychiatrists in Alabama

I am a licensed clinical social worker in the state of Alabama, with over 20 years of experience working with individuals addressing mental and behavioral health issues. I have worked with diverse populations in various treatment settings to include: crisis stabilization, inpatient psychiatric and detox, residential, re-entry correctional facilities, out patient, and independent contract settings. I inherently believe that all human beings do the very best that they can, at any given time, with the knowledge skills and resources they have at that time. Life is full of changes and transitions, and many times the skills we used to cope during one phase, are not adequate for the next. I practice holistically, pulling from a vast array of theories and methodologies to help clients struggling with: self image/self esteem, stress management, relational discord, over thinking, life transitions, emotion regulation, mind body connection, role performance, assertiveness, boundaries, CNS dysregulation, and trauma.

I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor with a Master’s degree in Counseling and Psychology and experience supporting adults through life transitions, self-discovery, and personal growth. I specialize in helping clients manage stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, and identity concerns. My practice also offers the option of a spiritually reflective component for those who find meaning in their faith journey. Above all, I value creating a compassionate and safe space where clients feel understood and supported.

I work with individual adults who need more help with overcoming mental health challenges. I'm a licensed therapist and have experience treating depression, anxiety, anger, interpersonal issues, OCD, grief/loss and panic disorder. I have worked as an outpatient therapist for 3.5 years and also have experience working in the inpatient and community settings.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a strong background in trauma-informed care, anxiety treatment, and grief work. I believe therapy should feel safe, collaborative, and respectful of your lived experience. I understand how past trauma, chronic stress, and life transitions can shape the nervous system and impact daily functioning, even when life looks “okay” on the outside. My role is to meet you where you are, without judgment, and help you make sense of your experiences while building practical tools for healing. I value authenticity, emotional safety, and meaningful connection in the therapeutic relationship.

Are you feeling stuck in repeating patterns, struggling in relationships, or carrying stress that feels hard to untangle alone? I help individuals, couples, and families better understand themselves, improve communication, and create lasting change. With decades of experience in counseling, community mental health, and private practice, I offer a warm, thoughtful approach grounded in deep listening and practical guidance. My work focuses on relationship issues, anxiety, life transitions, family conflict, and personal growth.

Your Story. Your Purpose. Your Identity. Healing isn't about becoming someone new—it's about uncovering who you've always been. Life has a way of shaping us. Painful experiences, trauma, loss, relationships, and fear can leave us carrying beliefs and protective patterns that once helped us survive, but now no longer serve us. Together, we'll explore your story, heal unresolved wounds, challenge limiting beliefs, and reconnect with the authentic identity that's been there all along.

I am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker supporting adolescents and adults through a variety of life challenges, including substance use, anxiety, depression, life transitions, relationship difficulties, and the everyday stressors that can leave us feeling overwhelmed or stuck.

My professional background includes substance use assessments, individual therapy, and working with individuals at different stages of recovery and personal growth. I believe therapy should be a space where you can be yourself without fear or judgment. My approach is warm, compassionate, down-to-earth, and collaborative.

Reaching out can be very difficult, and I strive to meet each person where they are while helping them to identify strengths, build healthier coping skills, and create meaningful change.

My goal is to help you feel heard, supported, and empowered as we work together toward the life you want to build, and are deserving of.

I provide experiential-based counseling services for all ages. It is important to me that you have an experience in therapy that is uniquely yours. Standard talk therapy is not for everyone and that is why I offer other options that you may find more therapeutic and beneficial. During your intake consultation, I will help you choose a path that will best meet your needs.

When life feels overwhelming, it's easy to get caught in a cycle of anxious thoughts, emotional exhaustion, or self doubt that makes it hard to enjoy the things that once brought you joy. Anxiety, depression, OCD, trauma, or difficult life experiences can leave you feeling stuck, disconnected, or constantly waiting for things to get better. You don't have to navigate that journey alone. I partner with individuals experiencing anxiety, ADHD, bipolar disorder, depression, and OCD so they can find greater emotional balance, regain confidence in themselves, and build a life that feels calmer, healthier, and more fulfilling. Working with adolescents and adults, I strive to create a supportive, judgment free space where you feel genuinely heard, understood, and empowered to make lasting change.

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) who specializes in working with adolescents, teens, and young people navigating emotional, behavioral, and relational challenges. Many of the teens and families I support are dealing with anxiety, depression, anger outbursts, defiance, low self-esteem, school stress, peer conflict, family tension, and difficulty managing big emotions. Parents often come to me feeling overwhelmed, unsure how to help, or concerned about changes in behavior, mood, or communication at home.

I believe healing begins with feeling truly seen, heard, and understood. I provide a compassionate, nonjudgmental space where young people can safely express themselves, build trust, strengthen emotional regulation, and develop a stronger sense of identity and self-worth. My work also focuses on helping families improve communication, reduce conflict, rebuild connection, and create more stable, supportive relationships at home. My goal is to help teens feel more confident and families feel more connected.

Welcome! I am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker with experience supporting individuals navigating stress, anxiety, depression, and life transitions. I have worked in a variety of clinical and veteran-focused settings, which has shaped my understanding of how life experiences impact mental health. I am passionate about creating a space where you feel seen, heard, and respected. My goal is to meet you where you are and help you move toward the life you want.
