Lesbian Therapists in Theodore, AL

My practice is rooted in whole healing. While incorporating cognitive-behavioral therapy, dialectical-behavioral therapy frameworks in my practice, I also acknowledge that most traditional mainstream treatment modalities were not created with consideration of race; because of that, I integrate somatic experiences and intuitive practices into my work.

The pressure to quickly achieve your goals have you overwhelmed. A few thoughts flow in and out: "I'm a failure", "I'm not enough", "everyone is judging me". You attempt by starting the day with enthusiasm. Yet, soon find yourself shifting from forced enthusiasm to doubt, shame, and restlessness. Your fatigue makes seemingly impossible to think clearly or address responsibilities. As time passes, you have sleepless nights, meaningless relationships, and self-doubt. Overthinking steals the slightest calm you may have had. Forcing yourself to 'do better', leaving no room to learn who you truly want to be.

As a counselor, my goal is to work collaboratively with my clients to empower them to be the best people they can be. I use an attachment theory and family systems approach, which means that I primarily focus on childhood social experiences and family patterns that impact my clients’ lives to this day. I also make an effort to emphasize my clients’ strengths to help them gain the confidence they need to make proactive choices to change for the better.

My practice serves people looking for modern, evidence-based therapy in a warm, open setting. Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy has a mountain of research behind it, supporting its use for a wide variety of psychological and interpersonal problems. For many of these problems, it is the treatment of choice. My approach to therapy is collaborative but directive; the therapy hour follows an agenda that you help to create based on your goals, and includes the psycho-education, challenging questions, and specific homework assignments that will help you to reach those goals.

“Dance like no one is watching, sing like no one is listening. . ."Mark Twain. This quote illustrates the kind of practice I strive to create. I believe it is necessary to encourage clients to feel free from judgment, criticism, or fear from what someone else thinks. My goal is to provide a safe place using an eclectic approach involving person centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, and motivational interviewing. This allows clients to establish a course that is personally tailored to meet the needs of those with substance use disorders, anxiety, depression, and trauma.

I have been a counselor for more than 30 years. I remain passionate about making a difference in the lives of others and believe that genuine caring is an essential element to an effective counseling relationship. Over the years I have worked with clients with significant trauma and loss. I consider it a privilege to stand with another individual as he or she resolves great pain. I am currently seeing clients exclusively via telemedicine (secure video platform). I am able to see clients in Texas, Kansas, Alabama, and California.

Life is hard. It can be beautiful and wonderful, and sometimes very hard. It is my passion to walk alongside people as they learn to navigate life’s challenges.

In my office I advocate for restored hope, even through dark deep emotions. I strive to provide a safe and supportive space to work through difficult emotional experiences. You are not alone in life’s journey, and it is my hope to help you discover your strengths so you can experience freedom from painful experiences.

I am a humanistic therapist, working from an attachment based perspective.

I am not the expert on you nor do I strive to be. I look forward to talking with you – not at you. I strive to understand you – not judge you. I have a Masters Degree from Columbia university and close to 20 years of experience in the field of mental health.
