I am a licensed professional counselor in Alabama. My goal as a therapist is to help individuals in their journey to finding new ways of thinking, developing self-awareness, and addressing mental health concerns. Having overcome anxiety and grief I am no stranger to the process of therapy. I am here to provide mental health care for women, individuals working through trauma, young professionals navigating career paths, individuals experiencing grief and loss, stress management, identity issues and so much more of life experiences.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

During your initial visit you can expect the therapist to get to know all about you. We will then dive into the specific challenges you're facing. This will help me create a tailored plan for us to work through in follow-up sessions. We will also review necessary forms such as informed consent to establish confidentiality. Your privacy is a top priority and must be maintained. Towards the end of our session, we will discuss payment and scheduling. Hope to see you soon!

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

Having worked with young adults for 6 years I have developed skills to help identity your underlying challenges and creating measure goals to aid in having a successful therapy experience.

My treatment methods

Person-centered (Rogerian)

Person-Centered therapy is a client-based treatment method. The method gives the client the empowerment to ownership and responsibility for their own mental well-being. The Person-Centered approach shifts the focus from the mental health professional to the client so that they may have some control of the therapeutic process. In the person-centered therapy the therapist and the client will work together as a team. As the therapist I will provide a non-judgement, safe and supportive space for the client. The client will work toward self-actualization and creating positive change in their lives.
