Great to meet you!

I received a Bachelor of Arts degree in Psychology from The University of Alabama in 2011, and a Master's Degree from Faulkner University in Counseling in 2015. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor licensed by the Alabama Board of Examiners in Counseling. I have more than 8 years of experience with community mental health where I worked with adults, families, and children. I also have experience working with the Alabama Department of Corrections as a licensed mental health professional.

My approach to therapy

As a therapist, I strive to provide a warm, inviting, and nonjudgmental atmosphere. I specialize in depression, anxiety, PTSD, coping with life changes, trauma/abuse, and self-esteem/self worth issues. I often implement Cognitive Behavioral Therapy as it promotes changing negative thoughts and behaviors. In addition, I offer mindfulness training and relaxation exercises such as deep breathing and progressive muscle relaxation.

What you can expect from me

I hope that you can gain ways to cope with life's many changes.
