Therapists in Birmingham, AL

Have you ever wondered where that anger comes from, or why you can't seem to shake that feeling of guilt or self-deception that keeps getting the best of you? My approach centers around understanding where we get our anxiety and how we can work to create a better sense of calm in our lives. Every person struggles throughout their life to hold onto the positive relationships and the warmth and belonging of their families, but sometimes life throws us so many curves that we swing and swing until we're hot with rage or blue with sadness.

We are committed to treating the whole person — and their families — with caring, qualified professionals in the fields of mental health, addiction, education, and recovery support. Our team of experts address underlying causes of mental distress, substance abuse and behavioral patterns to guide clients toward lasting recovery.

As humans, we navigate what can feel like an unsteady and confusing world. Life can be overwhelming. We may find ourselves in places where we need to make hard choices and manage difficult situations. As a counselor, my passion is for walking with clients through challenging times by using an integrated, person-centered therapeutic approach. Our process will be based on what works best for you, using techniques that include narrative therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy and solution-focused brief therapy. I pride myself on building strong relationships based on trust as we progress through the growth and recovery process.

Are you struggling with a loved one? Struggling with self-confidence? Feeling anxious or depressed? Having difficulty coping with a life transition; relationship strain, or loss of a loved one? Want to get to know yourself better? Not happy with the way things are going? Not sure what to do? Do you need a safe place to talk about what's going on in your life? Need some practical solutions? My goal is to create a comfortable, non-judgmental environment so that I can assist you in getting back on track, or defining a new road altogether.

Let's develop the skills you need to live the life you deserve. I specialize in therapy for individuals struggling with depression, anxiety, life transitions & self esteem.

No matter the problem, I am here to help you navigate through life's difficulties and guide you to your own understanding. My therapeutic approach is quite eclectic. I have a variety of experience in depression, anxiety, anger management, ADHD, behavioral issues, relationship and family issues. I have worked with adults, children and adolescents. I have an extensive background with individual, group therapy and family therapy.

I work with individuals who want to talk to someone in a safe, confidential, encouraging setting. I see adults, adolescents, and couples working through a wide range of issues. Specifically, I see individuals who are dealing with depression, anxiety, eating disorders, obsessive compulsive issues, pain management, or weight management. A lot of my clients are dealing with life transitions and many are needing to make major life decisions. I also work with those who have typical life stressors in work, school, or home and find it extremely helpful to use therapy as a way to maintain positive mental health.

Counseling is much more than problem solving. It's an opportunity to acknowledge your strengths and build on them to help prepare for life's challenges, big and small. I believe that first and foremost, successful counseling is built on trust and connection. Many people who struggle are reluctant to reach out. If you are seeking help you've taken an important first step.

Realizing help is needed and then asking for it takes lot of courage. Our already chaotic world has become more so during these crazy, turbulent times, but thankfully relief is available from the comfort of home. As I have lived abroad, I believe I view the world through a diverse lens and recovering from some chronic conditions has allowed me to have a greater appreciation of living in today. Though these perspectives, I’m able to offer coping strategies and skills to assist others as they navigate through their daily struggles and use their strengths to work toward self-fulfillment and their authentic self.

Life is ever changing. Who we are and how we view ourselves is fluid and evolves as we grow and learn. Our environment, life circumstances, and relationships further influence our perspective. Change can be hard and it is normal to need support and affirmation as you navigate the stressors in your life. It is my goal to to nurture your journey of growth and healing. Additionally, concerns about your sexuality and sexual health can be overwhelming. I hope to help you navigate through any insecurities in a sex positive, non shaming way and to normalize and destigmatize issues regarding sexuality and sexual health.

Let's face it - life can be tough! Maybe you're anxious, depressed, stressed, or just plain worn out from dealing with this fast-paced world.

By working together, we will ignite your strengths, uncover your authentic inner wisdom, and support you as you learn to embrace the amazing person you already are.
