Top in-person Alabama therapists and psychiatrists who accept Alabama Blue Shield

My counseling approach is rooted in demonstrating empathy and a genuine passion to empower individuals to achieve balanced lives. In my capacity as an experienced Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC), I have been privileged to assist diverse populations in navigating their personal and mental health challenges. I employ therapeutic modalities such as solution-focused therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, and cognitive-behavior therapy. Through attentive and thoughtful guidance, I aim to work collaboratively in fostering confidence and building resilience to attain mental and emotional wellness.

My journey into mental health therapy has been deeply personal and transformative. My approach is holistic and client-centered, using cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), mindfulness practices, and strengths-based strategies. I empower clients by building on their strengths and fostering resilience. I work with diverse populations, including adolescents, adults, and elders, providing compassionate and tailored care. Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my family and exploring nature, which keeps me grounded and balanced. Expect a supportive, non-judgmental environment where your unique experiences are valued. I am committed to helping you navigate challenges, develop coping strategies, and achieve your goals, facilitating growth and healing.

When I retired from the United States Air Force, I wanted to use my natural intuitive abilities to help others in a more formalized way. I have always been told that I'm a good listener and give great advice. As a therapist, I don't give advice; however, I help create an environment where clients experience layers of limiting beliefs being removed. We discuss values, desires, how to effectively communicate and much more. This paves the way for their inner wisdom to advise them on what is best, and they have the confidence to act for positive changes in their life. I am a holistic practitioner with a solid foundation in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). I am experienced in a variety of treatment modalities that I tailor to individual clients' needs. I hold certifications in integrative mental health and Trauma Focused CBT. I have formal training in energy psychology methods like Emotional Freedom Technique and Acceptance and Integration Training. Additionally, I am a Positive Discipline parent educator and advocate for coparents and parents in blended families.
