I'm a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. I am currently licensed in Alabama and Mississippi. I have over thirty years of experience in the field of mental health. I specialize in areas such as stress and anger management, effective communication, behavioral issues, family relationships, grief, life changing events, couple and marital relationships. My skills include motivating, communicating and advocating with regards to Client’s issues. I am proficient in the therapies of Individual, Family, Crisis, Couples and Group Education to promote personal and social growth. I possess training in effective communication, anger management and impulse control techniques, relaxation, social, emotional and functional living skill development.
The initial session focuses on getting to know you and what has brought them to therapy. I will work to explore your issues; how your choices have lead this moment in your life. By determining what has lead to therapy I can begin to work with you to develop the direction you want to move
As a Therapist my goals are to assist you in exploring your issues and making effective choices as to how you want to move forward or learn to live effectively with your issues in a positive, healthy manner. I work with you to develop the skills you need to solve your issues and decide what you need to effectively live your life. Above all it is my responsibility to respect the choices you want to make to be productive in your life.
Presently I work with adults, children, adolescents, couples and occasionally groups. I enjoy dealing with challenging Clients needing skill development and personal growth.
