Couples & marriage counseling in Tuscaloosa, AL

**DISCLAIMER - DOES NOT PROVIDE MEDICATION MANAGEMENT - DOES NOT PROVIDE TESTING**

Life can be overwhelming when you're constantly showing up for everyone else. Many women carry so much- family responsibilities, relationships, careers- while quietly putting their own needs aside. I provide a warm, supportive space where you can slow down, breathe, and focus on you. As a marriage and family therapist with over 10 years of experience, I work with individuals & families, and have a passion for supporting women through life’s transitions, relationship challenges, & personal growth. If you are feeling stretched thin, disconnected, or ready for change, therapy can be a place to reconnect with your strength and clarity.

My approach is rooted in systemic and cognitive behavioral therapy, where we will explore both the patterns in your relationships and the thoughts that may be shaping your experiences. I'm committed to creating an atmosphere of confidentiality, compassion, and respect. In our work, you will be met with active listening, collaboration, and gentle guidance.

Therapy isn't one-size-fits-all. I tailor each session to your unique needs, honoring your story, culture, & goals. You deserve a space where you feel seen, heard, and valued. Healing doesn't require perfection- it begins with willingness. If you are ready to invest in yourself, I would be honored to walk alongside you as you move toward the life you desire.

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.

I'm a licensed professional counselor with over eight years counseling individuals and families. I hold a B.S. in Psychology, a Minor in Music, and an M.S. in Counseling and Psychology from the University of West Alabama, and an M.A. in Counseling (School Counseling) from UAB. In 2008, I began as a Residential Instructor at Glenwood Autism and Behavioral Health, serving at-risk youth. I've worked in psychiatric hospitalization, alternative schools (grades 7–12), adult corrections, community mental health, school-based counseling, and in-home services. My style is experiential and fluid, helping clients discover their potential. 

I believe it's an honor to enter the counseling journey with someone, treating each client with curiosity, kindness, and confidence in their ability to heal. As a Certified Specialist in Anger Management (CSAM), I work with trauma, self-esteem, anxiety, depression, ADHD, and life transitions. My approach includes CBT, trauma-focused therapy, DBT, and ACT. 

"Why do we fall? So we can learn to pick ourselves up." We all face similar challenges—managing daily stressors, seasonal setbacks, or long-term concerns affecting our ability to function. No matter the circumstance, you have the tools to get up but may need support. I welcome you on this journey. Rest assured, by taking this step, you've already won.

I earned my master’s degree in social work from New Mexico Highlands University.

Together, we will create a personalized treatment plan focused on strengthening insight, building resilience, and improving daily functioning. I look forward to supporting you as you take meaningful steps toward healing and growth.
