About

From the outside, everything looks picture-perfect. But inside, you can't remember the last time you felt truly like yourself. Maybe it started subtly — shifts in your appetite, your mood, your sleep. Maybe fear, hopelessness, or a quiet sense of helplessness has crept in, and life feels like it's slowly spinning beyond your reach. You're ready for something different. You want to reclaim your sense of purpose, find meaning again, and build a life anchored in inner peace and genuine work-life balance. That's exactly the work I'm here to support you through. Together, we can help you rediscover who you are and what matters most to you. Counseling should fit into your life, not complicate it. That's why I offer online scheduling and see clients through a secure telehealth platform, making mental wellness support more accessible than ever. You can take this next step from wherever you feel most comfortable. To learn more or get started, visit my website at www.lockandkeywc.com. Specialties: I specialize in helping clients who are navigating depression, anxiety, and trauma connected to interpersonal or intimate relationships. I am experienced with creating a supportive space where we focus on what matters most to you, collaborating on a personalized plan to address your concerns. During our sessions, we will work together to introduce practical coping skills and techniques designed to help you get back on track and become the best version of yourself. Credentials & Experience: I bring over 19 years of experience helping adults, teens, and athletes navigate interpersonal issues, anxiety, stress, depression, and other crisis situations. I am licensed in Alabama and provide services in Florida as well.

"I often use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, an evidence-based therapeutic approach, in my practice. In our sessions, we will work together to identify and understand the core beliefs that may be shaping your current thought patterns. CBT focuses on the connection between our thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, helping you recognize and reframe unhelpful thinking. By exploring these underlying beliefs, we can develop practical tools to improve your outlook on life and better manage the stressors you face."
