Your Story. Your Purpose. Your Identity. Healing isn't about becoming someone new—it's about uncovering who you've always been. Life has a way of shaping us. Painful experiences, trauma, loss, relationships, and fear can leave us carrying beliefs and protective patterns that once helped us survive, but now no longer serve us. Together, we'll explore your story, heal unresolved wounds, challenge limiting beliefs, and reconnect with the authentic identity that's been there all along.

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • Opelika, AL


I spent nearly 5 years working in the substance abuse treatment field, in a variety of different positions, and found my passion for helping people there. I completed my master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling at Troy University in Montgomery. My clinical training for my master’s program began at an intensive inpatient behavioral healthcare facility for children aged 12–18 who were in DHR custody and subsequently in a private practice counseling setting.

I specialize in depression, anxiety, substance abuse and addictions counseling, and trauma counseling. My philosophy of counseling is based around the simple idea that every individual deserves to live a happy, healthy and whole life. A little help in counseling has the potential to go a long way to living happy, healthy, and whole.
