Life can be hard!

The focus of our practice, is to assist adults, children, and families with obtaining relatable therapy, to reach goals. We assess situations in your life which contribute to current emotions behaviors and thought patterns.

Moreover, with child and adolescents, we will focus on depression, impulsive behavior, limited attention span, oppositional/defiant behaviors, dishonesty, and social issues in school/home. Family and/or friends are welcome in your sessions for support. We do offer 430p-630p, and weekend appointments.

Everyone has felt the pain of betrayal, guilt, shame, rejection, and discouragement. Life and family interactions present challenges. You and your family are unique; but the issues and challenges you face are shared by others. We're human. We need to feel loved and supported. We need to enjoy life! But sometimes, life gets in the way. I am here to help you and your family successfully manage and overcome life's challenges and seize life's opportunities. I believe that hope for the future, healing from the past and the ability to enjoy everyday life is possible and occurs in the context of healthy relationships.

I have experience working with adults, adolescents, couples, and families and view therapy as your opportunity to grow healthier -- mentally, emotionally, behaviorally, relationally, and spiritually.

Are you or your loved ones struggling? Whether it be day-to-day challenges, anxiety, depression, grief or if you are just not sure what you are struggling with, I can help sort your issues out. My goal is to provide a safe, confidential, non-judgmental environment offering tools that allow my clients to manage and reduce stress that can be debilitating.I have extensive experience working with children, adolescents and adults that have been victims of abuse, those who suffer from depression, anxiety, anger management, insecurity and behavioral issues.

Feeling more depressed or anxious than usual? Dealing with trauma? How about that argument with your family or loved one? You have so much on your plate, between family, work, and attempting to have some kind of social life, that you have forgotten YOU.

Are you feeling lost, or overwhelmed by changes in your life? Life was not delivered with a book of instructions. It can be challenging, disappointing, stressful, and even lonely at times. Each of us has to make sense of our world. When things don't make sense we experience anxiety, depression, anger, confusion, stress, or other difficulties. Therapy is directed at helping each individual or couple become more effective at dealing with and developing coping skills so they can better manage their own unique life situation. Each person is unique; therefore, we will work together to craft a specific plan designed for your needs.

A famous quote says.... "Life is 10 percent of what happens and 90 percent of how you react to it". What does this mean to you? I believe it means that although some life experiences are out of our control, we hold the power to choose how we navigate through them. As a human being, I understand how life’s challenges can cause doubt, hopelessness, and feeling stuck. As a clinician, I understand the importance of mental wellness, and a safe space to equip you to better handle every aspect of daily living. With 5 years of experience, I've helped empower teens, adults, families and couples to manage and embrace life at its fullness.

I am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) providing psychotherapy to adolescents, adults, and seniors. My goal is to appropriately assess each clients' needs, assist them in identifying their own goals for treatment, and provide evidence-based treatments, education, and encouragement enabling them to achieve their identified goals and experience a happier, more purposeful life. I provide mental health counseling on an individual and family basis.

Services offered in Alabama (In Person or Telehealth) and Texas (Telehealth). Each client has their own unique needs that are important to understand. My work includes supporting clients struggling with attachment difficulties, relational trauma, and depression/anxiety related to these factors. In Individual Therapy, my role is to provide a safe, supportive space, listening differently than friends and family do. We will explore what you are experiencing, identify triggers, and help guide you towards solutions and healing. My role is to support and encourage you through a process of thoughtful intention to further self insight.

There is so much beauty in being honest and vulnerable. As a therapist, it is a privilege to be able to create a safe space for my clients—a space that gives them an opportunity to build strength, awareness, and resilience. Seeking therapy does not indicate failure or brokenness and I would be honored to walk alongside you as you navigate your life journey. I specialize in trauma, grief, depression, and anxiety of all ages. I have certifications in Brainspotting, EMDR and TF-CBT. I am also an Associate Partner Trauma Therapist through IITAP which enables me to help betrayed partners navigating betrayal trauma.

Traumatic events or issues with family, relationship and work can lead to depression, chronic anxiety, grief and PTSD. Resultantly, the quality of life deteriorates. Psychotherapy (counseling) enables you to explore your cognitive and emotional sides. It involves connecting your past wounds and present emotions. Psychodynamic therapy enables you to go beyond managing your present emotions and go to the source. I have explored and had many diversified experiences in Spirituality which is important in terms of your present and past experiences. My holistic orientation includes heed to nutrition in all matters related to the MIND-BODY-SPIRIT connection.

Are you feeling lost, stuck, or unfulfilled? Find yourself escaping into repetitive and self-defeating patterns of thought and behavior? If you are experiencing depression, anxiety, phase of life issues, problems with self-confidence or motivation, problematic alcohol or substance use, or just recognize that you may benefit from a supportive conversation with someone outside of your typical network of friends and family members, I would love to talk to you. My hope is that we can work together to help you create a life that you do not feel the need to escape from!
