About
Life can feel impossibly heavy sometimes — the relentless grip of anxiety, the fog of depression, the echoes of past trauma that follow you into your daily moments. If you find yourself caught in cycles of panic attacks or obsessive thoughts, or if a major life transition has left you feeling lost and unsure of where to turn, please know that what you're experiencing is real, and you don't have to carry it alone. Something in you is reaching for more — for inner strength, for peace in your closest relationships, for the kind of resilience that lets you meet life's hardest moments without falling apart. That reaching matters, and it's exactly where healing begins. I offer compassionate individual, couples, and family counseling built around what you actually need — not a one-size-fits-all approach. My work draws on evidence-based methods including EMDR, CBT, and DBT, woven together thoughtfully so that we can address difficult memories, reshape unhelpful thought patterns, and develop coping skills that genuinely hold up under pressure. Whether we're focusing on your personal mental wellness, strengthening a relationship, or working through family dynamics, my goal is always to help you restore balance and create change that lasts well beyond our sessions together. I know how much courage it takes to reach out for support. That first step toward therapy can feel daunting, and I want to make it as comfortable as possible. That's why I offer a free 15-minute consultation — a no-pressure opportunity for us to connect and explore whether we're a good fit before committing to anything. I currently practice remotely at Warrior Wellness Group in Alabaster and also serve clients throughout the state of Florida. If you're in the surrounding areas and have been wondering whether now is the right time to begin this journey, I warmly welcome you to take that step with someone who is genuinely here to walk it alongside you. Specialties: I specialize in working with those who are struggling with depression or trauma connected to their relationships, family, and military service. Experienced with the full weight these challenges can carry, I focus on creating a space where we can explore what you're going through at a pace that feels right for you. During our initial sessions, we'll dive deeper into the presenting issues and work together to create a vision for how to address those in a way that empowers you in getting your life back. Most of my clients see a gradual lifting of symptoms within the first month or two. Credentials & Experience: Backed by 7 years of professional experience, I specialize in helping children through adults navigate a wide range of mental health challenges. I am certified in EMDR trauma therapy and fully licensed in AL, with registration to provide telehealth counseling services to residents of FL and SC.
"My therapeutic approach draws on a combination of evidence-based modalities, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and EMDR, tailored to meet your unique needs. CBT helps you identify and shift unhelpful thought patterns that may be affecting how you feel and behave. DBT builds on that foundation by offering practical skills for managing intense emotions, improving relationships, and navigating life's challenges with greater balance. EMDR, or Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, is a powerful, evidence-based approach designed to help you process and heal from distressing memories or past experiences that may still be impacting your life today. In your first session, we'll explore what brings you into therapy and work collaboratively to determine which combination of these approaches will best support you in reaching your desired goals."
