Great to meet you!

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Fort Payne, Alabama. I work with children, teens, and adults experiencing trauma, anxiety, depression, and life transitions. I specialize in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and help clients process difficult experiences so they can feel more grounded, confident, and at peace. I offer both in-person counseling in Fort Payne and virtual therapy for clients throughout Alabama.

My approach to therapy

My approach to therapy is warm, supportive, and collaborative. I strive to create a space where clients feel safe, understood, and empowered to make meaningful changes. I specialize in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and also incorporate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to help clients process difficult experiences, better understand their thoughts and emotions, and develop practical tools for lasting change.

What you can expect from me

During our first session, we will discuss what brings you to therapy, your personal history, and the goals you hope to accomplish. My priority is to create a comfortable, supportive environment where you feel heard and understood. Together, we will begin identifying patterns, strengths, and practical next steps to help you move toward meaningful and lasting change.
