Thank you for visiting my profile!

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, Certified Clinical Trauma Professional, and Certified Integrative Mental Health Professional. I am licensed in Alabama and North Carolina and approved as an out-of-state tele mental health provider for Florida.

I specialize in treating PTSD/complex trauma, anxiety/depression, life transitions/stress management, grief/loss, and women's issues. With over 30 years of experience in mental health across public, private, virtual, and educational settings, my therapeutic style is relaxed, collaborative, and reflective. I actively engage with clients, partnering with them throughout their healing journey. My empathetic and intuitive approach integrates postmodern techniques with systemic, holistic, neuroscientific, and traditional methods to support emotional and relational healing and balance.

Additional Information:

I generally respond quickly to messages, but please note that responses are most likely to occur in the early morning and late evening hours (Central/US time). While I may respond over the weekend, this is not always guaranteed.

BetterHelp offers journaling and worksheet features. I may assign "homework" between sessions, which could include journaling, worksheets, observational tasks, or skill implementation. These assignments are designed to keep you focused, prepared, and empowered, helping you achieve your inner goals and feel successful.

As a licensed therapist, I am required by law to obtain your full name, date of birth, contact information, consent for counseling, and a photo ID. Anonymous clients cannot be accommodated.

Consent is given by reviewing and accepting the member information form before our first appointment. You must send your full name, contact information, date of birth, and photo ID before we meet for our first session. I am happy to answer any questions regarding this process.

I recommend uploading a close view headshot photo to your profile. This helps me distinguish between clients with the same first name and ensures smooth scheduling.

If you are experiencing recent, frequent, or intrusive thoughts of self-harm or harming others, this platform may not be suitable. Please seek emergency or crisis assistance or find offline therapy in your local area. For the US: 988 will put you in touch with a support line.

If you have any questions or need further information to make an informed decision about your counseling experience and therapeutic goals, please do not hesitate to ask.

I look forward to working with you!
