About
As a therapist and a person who has done my own work, I meet clients with genuine empathy, steady support, and a belief in their ability to grow.
I am a licensed independent clinical social worker (LICSW) with 5 years of experience supporting individuals through anxiety, depression, stress, relationship concerns, and major life transitions. I help clients slow down, understand their emotions, and develop healthier patterns that feel sustainable. My approach is warm, steady, and collaborative, offering space to explore challenges, build coping skills, and feel more grounded and connected in everyday life.
I earned my Master of Social Work from Troy University and have clinical experience in behavioral health settings. My work integrates cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness-based tools, strength-based approaches, and solution-focused techniques to support emotional regulation, insight, and long-term well-being.
I would be honored to support you as you navigate whatever you are facing. Together, we can create space for clarity, relief, and meaningful change at a pace that feels steady and empowering. If you are ready to begin—or simply curious about how therapy with me might help—I invite you to take the next step and schedule an appointment.

At Thriveworks, Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) primarily concentrates on assisting individuals in emotion regulation, enhancing interpersonal relationships, and acquiring effective coping strategies for managing stress and emotional difficulties.
Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) targets your personal challenges. You may work with your DBT therapist to maintain diary cards to monitor progress, emphasizing validation and support in the therapeutic relationship. DBT follows a stage-based approach, prioritizing crisis reduction initially and life satisfaction.
DBT was initially developed to address the needs of individuals with borderline personality disorder (BPD). However, its versatile approach has enabled its application to a wide range of mental health conditions, including but not limited to, anxiety, depression, stress, and anger issues.
The 4 pillars of DBT are mindfulness, emotion regulation, interpersonal effectiveness, and distress tolerance.
Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) and eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) have distinct purposes and aren’t inherently superior or inferior to one another. DBT is most effective for managing emotional regulation, personality disorders, and interpersonal challenges, while EMDR is specifically tailored for individuals with trauma-related conditions like post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) with therapists at Thriveworks in Huntsville, AL is conducted both in person and online by video. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.
The duration of a standard DBT program is typically around 24 weeks, which is roughly six months. The actual number of sessions will vary depending on the issues you wish to address.
