Great to meet you!

I am a LMFT in Alabama since 2009 with professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients with relationship issues, family conflicts, & intimacy related issues. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. Taking the first step to seeking a more fulfilling and happier life takes courage. I will guide you along your journey to a happier, healthier self and life. I am here to support you in that process.

A bit about my approach to therapy

I believe in creating a nonjudgmental environment where my clients can open up and feel safe. I utilize CBT and solution focus tools to help them obtain the goals in sessions.

What you can expect from our first session

My clients often feel a sense of self and empowerment. They know it will take work and I am there to guide them along the way in their journey. It is a feeling of accomplishment when change happens and they are able to see progress within.
