I’m so glad you’re here! I’m honored that you’re considering allowing me to support you in your journey. Beginning therapy and finding a therapist that fits your needs can feel daunting and complicated. My goal is to make this process feel as simple as possible so you feel empowered to make the next step.

I’d love to share a little more about myself and my approach to counseling so you can get a sense of whether we might be a good fit. If what you read resonates with you, I’d love to connect with you for a consultation.

MY APPROACH

People are far more than the struggles that bring them to therapy. Every person comes to counseling with their own unique experiences, relationships, history, strengths, and goals. Because of this, I use interventions and techniques that are personalized to each client. Healing can take many forms, and together we will find approaches, tools, and insights that best support your individual growth and well-being.

I’m passionate about working with teens and adults navigating anxiety, depression, obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD), grief, relationship struggles and life transitions.

I draw interventions from evidence-based practices such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT). Supporting clients through a trauma-informed lens is integral to my style of counseling. I may also incorporate creative interventions, including art therapy to help clients process emotions and experiences.

My goal as a counselor is not only to provide a supportive space for healing, but also to offer practical tools and clear direction for growth. I strive to have clients leave our sessions feeling understood, encouraged, and equipped with realistic steps they can apply in everyday life.

EDUCATION AND CLINICAL EXPERIENCE

I earned my Bachelor of Science in Psychology at The University of Alabama at Birmingham. I then completed my Master of Arts in Counseling with a concentration in Clinical Mental Health from The University of Alabama at Birmingham. During my master’s program, I completed my year long internship at The Amelia Center, part of Children’s of Alabama, where I worked with children, adults, and families.

I am licensed by the Alabama Board of Examiners in Counseling as an Associate Licensed Counselor #ALC06050. I practice under the supervision of Cindy Smith LPC-S #SC03434.

ABOUT ME

Outside of counseling, I love spending time with friends and family. This usually looks like sharing meals together, spending time outside and going thrifting!

I also have a strong passion for music and the arts. I’ve been teaching violin, piano, and music theory at a local music school for children and teens for around 10 years.

I enjoy painting, writing, bead working, and basically anything artsy!
