I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) who specializes in working with adolescents, teens, and young people navigating emotional, behavioral, and relational challenges. Many of the teens and families I support are dealing with anxiety, depression, anger outbursts, defiance, low self-esteem, school stress, peer conflict, family tension, and difficulty managing big emotions. Parents often come to me feeling overwhelmed, unsure how to help, or concerned about changes in behavior, mood, or communication at home.

I believe healing begins with feeling truly seen, heard, and understood. I provide a compassionate, nonjudgmental space where young people can safely express themselves, build trust, strengthen emotional regulation, and develop a stronger sense of identity and self-worth. My work also focuses on helping families improve communication, reduce conflict, rebuild connection, and create more stable, supportive relationships at home. My goal is to help teens feel more confident and families feel more connected.

Therapist

Virtual • Alabama


Hi, and welcome — I'm really glad you're here. I've been a licensed therapist for 8 years, and in that time I've sat with people through just about every kind of hard season: anxiety that won't let up, depression that makes everything feel heavy, the pull of substance use, anger that's costing you relationships, or a life transition that's left you unsure of who you are right now. Wherever you're starting from, you don't have to sort it out alone.

I work with adults navigating anxiety, depression, substance use disorders, anger management, relationship struggles, and the specific pressures that come with men's and women's issues. I earned both my undergraduate and graduate degrees from Troy University, and what grounds my work is a simple belief: change is possible for anyone willing to be honest with themselves — and I'll be right there alongside you for it.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a strong background in trauma-informed care, anxiety treatment, and grief work. I believe therapy should feel safe, collaborative, and respectful of your lived experience. I understand how past trauma, chronic stress, and life transitions can shape the nervous system and impact daily functioning, even when life looks “okay” on the outside. My role is to meet you where you are, without judgment, and help you make sense of your experiences while building practical tools for healing. I value authenticity, emotional safety, and meaningful connection in the therapeutic relationship.

Therapist

Virtual • Alabama


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.

Happy patient looking away

Find an expert who truly understands maternal mental health

Headway helps you find expert-guided support for every stage of motherhood — from finding the right therapist or psychiatrist, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Postpartum Therapist in Montgomery, AL

Finding postpartum therapists in Montgomery starts with looking for someone whose experience matches what you want support with. Postpartum care can include support for postpartum depression, postpartum anxiety, birth-related stress, identity changes, and relationship strain. As you compare therapists, look for listed experience with perinatal mental health, pregnancy, or new parent support. Some therapists may also list a perinatal mental health certification, such as PMH-C, which can signal more focused training in prenatal and postpartum care.

Montgomery has a range of in-person and virtual therapy options, and the right format may depend on your schedule, infant care, transportation, and physical recovery. Virtual appointments can make it easier to access postpartum therapists beyond nearby offices, especially when local availability is limited or your schedule changes week to week. Before booking, review each therapist’s profile for appointment times, therapy approach, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. Bios can also help you understand how a therapist describes their style and what postpartum concerns they work with most often.

Therapy in Montgomery can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and see your estimated out-of-pocket price before you book. Headway helps you find postpartum therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, offer virtual or in-person appointments, and are accepting new patients, so you can review bios, compare fit, and book directly when you’re ready.

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