About
Feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or out of alignment with your body, gender, or sexuality? I’m a queer-affirming therapist, sex therapist, and certified birth doula. I help clients process trauma, navigate intimacy, and reconnect with their authentic selves. In a safe, compassionate space, we’ll explore patterns that hold you back, build coping skills, and work toward lasting change. Using EMDR and other evidence-based techniques, I guide clients in reclaiming safety, pleasure, and confidence, whether healing trauma, exploring identity, or preparing for a perinatal journey. Let’s get you back to living authentically. In our work together, we’ll improve communication, shift patterns that hold you back, and strengthen relationships so your needs are heard. I support LGBTQ+ clients with trauma, intimacy, and sexual well-being, including sex therapy and birth doula guidance, helping you reclaim safety, pleasure, and confidence. If you’re ready to make a change, I can help. I’m an experienced LICSW in Birmingham, Alabama, and founder of Creative Therapeutic Solutions, LLC. I bring creativity, energy, and compassion to my work. Let’s explore your life together—how can I help you see things a little differently today? Specialties: I work with clients struggling with trauma, anxiety, identity or sexual concerns, relationships, or perinatal transitions. Together, we create a personalized plan using EMDR, mindfulness, embodied, and creative approaches. Many clients notice increased safety, confidence, and emotional balance within the first few sessions. Credentials & Experience: I'm a lifelong learner and educator, teaching at the university level and speaking at conferences worldwide on integrative care. Grounded in clinical fundamentals, I bring global perspectives and evidence-based expertise to every session, combining scholarship with compassionate, practical care.
"I use an eclectic, client-centered approach, drawing from CBT, DBT, mindfulness, embodied practices, existential and spiritual perspectives, archetypal work, and more. This allows me to tailor therapy to your unique needs, helping you process trauma, navigate identity and relationships, and build coping skills for lasting growth and empowerment."
