I am a Licensed LISCW in Alabama with over 15 years of professional work experience, working with adolescence and college age students, as well as older adults and children. I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, depression, LGBTQ-related issues, relationship issues, & motivation, self-esteem, and confidence. I also teach clients how to develop a unique social skill method to help manage uncomfortable social situations with friends, family, and partners. I am also trained in ERP therapy for the treatment of OCD, Hoarding, and BFRBs. I work with my clients to create an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared.

My initial goal is to learn as much as possible about what issues or problems you are currently facing to help you accomplish the goals you initially came to therapy for in an easier way. Taking the first step to sign up for therapy takes courage and I am proud of you for taking the first step in getting started and consider it an honor to be part o your journey towards recovery.

Rex is very supportive, compassionate, and truly cares about his clients. His high level of knowledge and constant thirst to learn more makes him an invaluable asset to anyone who he counsels. I constantly come away from my sessions with Rex having learned something about myself, a new strategy, and/or the motivation to continue bettering my life. I appreciate Rex’s support and insight more than words can say.

Of the therapists I’ve had, Rex stands above them with his level of knowledge and insight. He knows how to affectively bring light and calm to any given situation I express to him and offers a variety of helpful ways to reframe my thought process and bring clarity. I have only worked with him for about a month and can’t wait to see the progress I continue to make going forward with him.
