Great to meet you!

With 25 years in counseling and counselor education, I hold an MA from the University of Alabama at Birmingham and a PhD from Mississippi State University. I offer individual, marriage and family therapy, specializing in LGBTQIA+ including for transgender clients, and trauma-based therapies. Recently back in Birmingham, I’m dedicated to providing a safe, affirming space for growth and healing. Reach out to start your journey.

My approach to therapy

In my practice, I blend person-centered, structural family therapy, and brief therapy approaches to offer a supportive space for addressing challenges. I specialize in trauma work, EMDR, Integral Breath Therapy, and Clinical Hypnosis. I provide tailored support for first responders, therapists, and medical professionals. Whether you're dealing with trauma, improving relationships, or pursuing personal growth, I'm dedicated to helping you achieve lasting transformation and well-being.

What you can expect from me

Clients can expect to gain valuable insights about themselves and their goals through our sessions. By fostering a strong counselor-client relationship, I tailor my approach to each individual's needs, combining contemporary and traditional methods. You'll learn about yourself, work towards your personal goals and solutions, and discover new ways to shape your life.
