I know starting therapy can sometimes feel a little uncertain, so I want you to know this is a space where you can take things at your own pace.
I am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker with 10 years of experience. I specialize in supporting clients through anxiety, trauma, self-doubt, life transitions, and relationship challenges. I strive to create a safe, compassionate, and understanding space where healing feels possible. I value helping clients who may feel uncertain about making changes but are motivated to manage stress, set boundaries, or find balance. My goal is to provide tools that guide you toward clarity, confidence, and healthier ways of coping with life’s challenges.
I earned my Master of Social Work from the University of Alabama. My work draws from evidence-based approaches, including cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness-based practices, and person-centered counseling. I am committed to meeting you where you are with empathy and practical strategies for meaningful change.
I provide a safe and nonjudgmental space where you can explore challenges and discover new coping methods. With warmth and guidance, I help you build confidence, strengthen relationships, and create meaningful change. You don’t have to do this alone because I’ll walk with you at your own pace toward healing and growth.
You deserve dedicated time with a mental health professional — it can be life-changing.
