I once told a friend that finding the "right" therapist (one that they would mesh well with) is similar to dating; it can be slightly uncomfortable until they find the right fit. Because I understand that seeking assistance to address individual, couple, or family issues is a deeply personal & brave process, I provide a compassionate and trusting environment to all my clients. I believe that therapy is a goal-directed, collaborative process between therapist and client(s). I can assist in helping you identify needs/goals, processing unresolved feelings/experiences, & successfully reaching your established goals in a timely manner. I enjoy and have years of experience working with individuals, couples, families, & groups, helping them improve their quality of life as well as strengthen their relationships. I am most experienced in the areas of Anxiety, Depression, Mental Health, Personal Relationships, and Addiction. I've had the opportunity provide therapy in an array of settings, including a community mental health center and an intensive outpatient substance use disorder facility, and private practice.

I specialize in working with clients who are motived, courageous, and open to exploring their inner world. My goal is to help others achieve their goals. As a licensed clinical social worker, I offer a warm, grounded, and collaborative space where clients can slow down, reflect, and better understand themselves. My approach is person centered and trauma-informed, with a strong foundation in cognitive behavioral and strengths based therapies. Even if clients are not quite sure what that looks like. I help clients by navigating anxiety, relationship struggles, or life transitions. Most people are overwhelmed by pressure. What they tend to want most is clarity, peace, and to feel more connected. They're seeking safe, nonjudgmental space where they can explore their thoughts freely and begin to moe toward a life that feels more aligned and intentional.

Are you struggling with anxiety? don’t seem to manage your daily task, difficulty adjusting to changes? Do you feel misunderstood and find yourself being frustrated? There is hope. You will learn effective communication skills that work to deliver your message to others with no room for misunderstand. Moreover, by understanding yourself and gaining insight, you will be able to take the control over your life. You have the choice to change the direction of the course of your life. At times, certain behaviors do not serve you any longer. Even behaviors that you assume to be ‘good’ such as pleasing people, being flexible, being considerate, can impact you negatively. It takes a great amount of courage to be able to acknowledge this and learn the tools to prioritize oneself. Let me help you pour and fill your cup first so you can be there for your loved ones. My goal as a clinician is to assist my clients to a point, they no longer need me, to be self-sufficient. You will feel confident to take the driver seat of your life and use the tools you have learned or discovered to help you navigate obstacles as they come up. Over 10 years of clinical experience has thought me that you are the expert of your life. As an expert, you will be acknowledged and accepted unconditionally.

My journey into therapy began with a desire to help the hurting individuals I worked with in a group home, and a genuine passion for helping others find strength through life’s most difficult moments. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of supporting people facing a wide range of challenges—experiences that have shown me just how powerful and transformative therapy can be. These moments have only deepened my commitment to walking alongside others on their path to healing. I’m continually inspired by the belief that every person holds the capacity for growth, resilience, and change. We can change and heal. Sometimes we just need a little help along the way.

Feeling the need to talk about what matters to you? Life's transitions, stressors, worries, and fears are on everybody's mind. In session, we focus on renewing, restoring, and reviving the most important person...you. I am strong in the areas of increasing your ability to become self-aware and more confident. Through therapy we can explore areas of your life that help you to build a deeper understanding of self.

Hello, I am a licensed clinical social worker in FL, AL, TN, and SC, and I am a Christian Counselor who holds to a Biblical world view and this foundation forms the framework to my clinical training and orientation. I received my MSW degree from Barry University in Miami Shores, Miami, FL. and I have over 40 years of practice experience. I have extensive experience in community and emergency mental health, crisis intervention. I was in private practice for 21 years serving individuals, couples, families, community agencies and municipalities. While in private practice I also became a life coach and personal fitness trainer developing a unique approach to behavior and life style change. I combined my clinical experience with life coaching and personal fitness training and formed a program called Your Life in Focus. This paradigm became an extremely effective approach to help individuals make significant and sustained life-style changes. In 2011 I became employed by the DOD with my duty station at Fort Campbell, KY embedded with the 101st combat aviation brigade as a behavioral health provider. My experience, and creative approaches can have important and meaningful impact on your life.

Frequently asked questions

Why filter by Alabama rather than a city like Huntsville?

When looking for online therapy, you can see anyone that is credentialed in the state. We want you to find the best fit, therefore, Grow Therapy shows available therapists across Alabama from Montgomery to Birmingham! If you’d rather see someone in-person, you can change the filter from virtual and find a therapist near you in Alabama.

Will my therapist take Blue Cross Blue Shield?

Yes! If you use Blue Cross Blue Shield you’ll be asked to verify your Member ID at the time you book the appointment. However, if you don’t have Blue Cross Blue Shield you can select cash. Our therapists will have their cost of appointment on their profile. Individual session costs will vary.

How does the Specialty Filter work? Can I find a therapist that focuses on a specific issue?

The specialty filter is optional. You don’t need to check any boxes to see a provider. However, fit is very important when selecting an online therapist. If you have knowledge or experience to recognize what specialties you may need.

Why use Gender, Age, and Identities filters?

Finding a provider with a similar life experience can be beneficial because it can be easier to establish rapport and potentially be understood quicker and clearer.

What to expect during your first session?

Your first therapy session is for you and your therapist to meet each other and to ask any questions that you have about the counseling process. This is where you can expect your therapist to do the same as they will ask questions to gain insight into your specific situation. In this first session the therapist is doing their part to gather as much information so they can better assess if they are able to meet your therapeutic needs. Depending upon your provider's specialty, you may also discuss the methods the therapist will use. For additional information on therapy methods, please visit the Grow Therapy Help Center.Some people feel nervous before their first appointment, and that is totally normal! Coming prepared with a list of questions for your therapist may help. Remember, you're taking a brave step by seeking therapy, and it is okay to be nervous as you try something new.
