Therapist

I am a licensed professional counselor in Georgia and Alabama and have been working as a therapist for 16 years. Currently, I am only seeing female clients in order to align with my clinical focus. As a Christian therapist, I specialize in faith-integrated counseling for women who wish to bring their spirituality into sessions. I offer therapy that integrates biblical principles with evidence-based practices, helping clients align their mental, emotional, and spiritual well-being. While this is my area of specialty, I work with individuals from all walks of life and honor each client’s unique beliefs and values.

My experience is broad in that I have worked with clients of all ages with a variety of issues and diagnoses, especially with those facing trauma, recovering from addictions, coping with anxiety and depression, and moving through life changes such as grief and relationship/family changes. I hope to create an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment. It takes courage to take the first steps towards change, and I am here to support you in your journey.

You replay conversations long after they're over. You shut down or say too much, then spend the day wishing you hadn't. You're not bad at relationships. You're anxious in them. You hold back. You give in to keep the peace, then quietly resent it. You want to be closer to the people you love. but something always gets in the way. It doesn't have to stay this way.

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.
