I am a licensed professional counselor in Georgia and Alabama and have been working as a therapist for 16 years. Currently, I am only seeing female clients in order to align with my clinical focus. As a Christian therapist, I specialize in faith-integrated counseling for women who wish to bring their spirituality into sessions. I offer therapy that integrates biblical principles with evidence-based practices, helping clients align their mental, emotional, and spiritual well-being. While this is my area of specialty, I work with individuals from all walks of life and honor each client’s unique beliefs and values.

My experience is broad in that I have worked with clients of all ages with a variety of issues and diagnoses, especially with those facing trauma, recovering from addictions, coping with anxiety and depression, and moving through life changes such as grief and relationship/family changes. I hope to create an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment. It takes courage to take the first steps towards change, and I am here to support you in your journey.

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.

Sometimes life feels heavier than it looks on the outside. You may be carrying anxiety that never seems to quiet down, grieving someone you love, trying to hold a relationship together, or simply wondering why you don't feel like yourself anymore. Whatever brought you here, you don't have to pretend you're okay with me. My hope is that therapy becomes a place where you can finally exhale, make sense of what you're experiencing, and begin finding steady ground again.

Do you feel constantly on edge, emotionally drained or stuck in relationship patterns that keep repeating? Is your teen overwhelmed by big emotions and not sure how to cope?

Anxiety and depression don't just affect our thoughts—they can keep our nervous systems in survival mode, impacting our relationships, our patience, and the way we see ourselves.

I work with Alabama adults and teens to slow things down, understand patterns like attachment or codependency, and build real tools for boundaries, emotional steadiness and healthier relationships. My style is warm, practical, nonjudgemental, and down to earth.
