About
I am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW). I take a warm, collaborative approach to therapy, helping clients feel supported while working toward meaningful change. I specialize in working with adults navigating anxiety, depression, grief, life transitions, and the challenges of aging. My therapeutic approach is person-centered, compassionate, and collaborative. I draw from evidence-based modalities such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and mindfulness-based techniques to support clients in building insight, developing coping skills, and making meaningful changes. I primarily work with adults and older adults who are experiencing depression, anxiety, grief, life transitions, or caregiving stress. I have a strong background in supporting individuals through the challenges of aging, chronic illness, and loss. My communication style is warm, empathetic, and down-to-earth. I aim to create a comfortable, nonjudgmental space where clients feel safe to be themselves and speak openly. Sessions with me often feel like a supportive conversation—gently guided, collaborative, and focused on helping you feel heard, understood, and equipped to move forward. Specialties: Clients can expect to leave our sessions with a deeper understanding of themselves, practical tools to cope with life's challenges, and a sense of empowerment to make positive changes. Through our work together, you'll gain insights into your thought patterns, develop strategies for managing emotions and stress, and feel more equipped to navigate life transitions with confidence. Credentials & Experience: I hold a Master's in Social Work from the University of Alabama and a B.A. in Psychology from Sewanee: The University of the South. I am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) with experience in community mental health, healthcare, and senior services.
