Life can feel overwhelming when you're facing anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, chronic stress, or major life transitions. You may find yourself feeling stuck, emotionally exhausted, disconnected from others, or unsure how to move forward. I work with adults and older adults navigating anxiety, depression, stress management concerns, women's issues, relationship difficulties, anger management challenges, and life changes that can impact emotional well-being. With more than 12 years of counseling experience, I help clients better understand the thoughts, emotions, and patterns that may be contributing to their struggles while developing practical tools for lasting change. Whether you're coping with personal challenges, relationship stress, self-doubt, or feeling overwhelmed by life's demands, therapy can provide a supportive space to gain clarity, build confidence, and create healthier ways of responding to difficult situations.

For the past 8 years, I’ve worked closely with elderly and disabled individuals, supporting them through life’s emotional and practical challenges. Before becoming a social worker, I worked in banking, but I felt a strong pull toward work that allowed me to truly make a difference in people’s lives. That calling led me to counseling. I bring compassion, patience, and a deep respect for each person’s story into the work we do together.

Find the right therapist for you

Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Birmingham

Finding the right therapist in Birmingham starts with getting clear on the type of support you're looking for. Therapists in Birmingham, AL specialize in a wide range of concerns — from anxiety, depression, and trauma to relationship issues, life transitions, and more. Whether you're looking for Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), EMDR, couples counseling, or family therapy, choosing a licensed provider (such as an LPC, LCSW, LMFT, or psychologist) with experience in your specific area of concern can make a meaningful difference.

With hundreds of providers practicing across Birmingham and surrounding areas like Hoover, Homewood, Vestavia Hills, and Mountain Brook, narrowing your options can feel like a lot. Consider what matters most to you — whether that's a provider's specialty, their approach to therapy, session format (virtual or in-person), or scheduling availability. Reading a provider's bio before booking can help you understand their style and decide if they're a good match.

Therapy in Birmingham can be expensive out of pocket, but using your in-network insurance benefits is one of the most reliable ways to reduce costs. On Headway, you can enter your insurance details to see estimated session costs before you book, and many patients pay as low as $0 per visit. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, making it easier to find a therapist who fits your needs and your budget.

1 Cost may vary based on your location, age, and insurance coverage.
