- LICSW
As a licensed therapist through Alabama , I specialize in supporting individuals navigating complex emotional landscapes. My professional approach centers on compassionate, holistic care for those experiencing depression, anxiety, stress, and challenges related to self-esteem. I have extensive experience working with diverse populations, including LGBTQ+ individuals, veterans, caregivers, and older adults facing life transitions.
My therapeutic practice is deeply rooted in understanding the nuanced experiences of grief, isolation, and personal growth. I create a supportive environment where clients can explore feelings of guilt and shame, develop self-love, and build resilience through meaningful therapeutic connections. Whether you're struggling with life transitions, caregiver stress, or seeking support during challenging personal moments, I'm committed to walking alongside you with empathy and professional expertise.
My goal is to help you discover your inner strength, develop healthy coping strategies, and cultivate a more compassionate relationship with yourself. Together, we'll work to transform challenges into opportunities for personal growth and healing.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
