I am licensed in Alabama with 6 years of professional work experience. I specialize in helping clients with depression, grief, compassion fatigue, anxiety and/or addiction challenges. I hold advanced certifications in Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT) and Motivational Interviewing (MI).
My therapeutic approach integrates multiple modalities to address unique needs. By combining REBT, MI, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and mindfulness practices, I create a comprehensive framework that honors both cognitive processes and emotional experiences.
I believe in focusing on strengths and capabilities rather than deficits. Together, we’ll identify what’s already working in your life and build upon those foundations.
In our sessions, you’ll find a supportive environment where you can explore challenges honestly and develop practical skills for managing difficult emotions and thoughts. Whether you are seeking relief from immediate distress or working toward deeper personal growth, I’m committed to walking alongside you with compassion, respect and professional guidance.
