Great to meet you!

My name it Twarner and I am a licensed clinical social worker dedicated to helping individuals navigate life's challenges with empathy, insight, and evidence-based care.

I earned my Master of Social Work (MSW) degree from The University of Alabama, where I received comprehensive training in clinical practice, with a focus on evidence-based modalities such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). My education emphasized both the importance of therapeutic relationship-building and the application of practical, goal-oriented interventions to support meaningful change in clients’ lives.

A bit about my approach to therapy

My approach is client-centered, meaning I work collaboratively with you to create a safe, supportive space where your goals, values, and experiences guide the healing process. Whether you're struggling with anxiety, depression, relationship issues, or past trauma, I’m here to support your journey toward greater self-understanding and emotional well-being.

Together, we’ll work to uncover patterns, build resilience, and develop practical tools to help you thrive—not just survive. Therapy is a deeply personal experience, and I strive to meet each client with respect, curiosity, and compassion.

What you can expect from our first session

Clients can expect to leave each session with greater clarity, emotional insight, and a growing sense of self-awareness. Whether we're exploring difficult emotions, working through relationship patterns, or building coping strategies, each session is designed to help you feel seen, heard, and empowered.

You’ll take away practical tools tailored to your specific needs—skills for managing anxiety, improving communication, setting boundaries, or navigating life transitions. Over time, many clients report increased confidence, deeper understanding of themselves, and a stronger ability to face challenges with resilience and compassion.
