Great to meet you!

'm a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) providing virtual therapy to adolescents (14+), adults, and caregivers throughout Alabama. I help people navigate anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, substance use, anger, life transitions, and other challenges that can leave them feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or disconnected from the life they want to live.

My approach to therapy

My approach is collaborative, supportive, and tailored to your unique needs and goals. I strive to create a welcoming, judgment-free space where you can be yourself, feel heard, and explore what's weighing on you. I draw from evidence-based approaches, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing, and trauma-informed care, while focusing on practical tools that help you better manage emotions, navigate life's challenges, and create meaningful, lasting change.

What you can expect from me

Your first session is a chance for us to get to know each other. We'll talk about what's bringing you to therapy, the challenges you're facing, and what you hope to achieve. I'll ask questions to better understand your experiences, answer any questions you have about the therapy process, and work with you to begin creating a plan that feels realistic and meaningful. My goal is for you to leave feeling heard, supported, and hopeful about the path ahead.
