I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker offering individual counseling services in Alabama and Florida, with over 17 years of experience supporting adults and older adults through life’s challenges. I work with clients facing concerns such as anxiety, depression, stress, and significant life transitions, and I also provide Christian counseling for those who wish to incorporate their faith into the healing process.
I am passionate about creating a space where you feel safe, heard, and respected. My approach is compassionate and collaborative, allowing us to explore your thoughts and emotions at your pace while gaining clarity and insight. I believe each person has strengths and resilience, even during difficult seasons, and my goal is to help you reconnect with those strengths and see your full potential.
Together, we will develop a treatment plan tailored specifically to your needs, helping you move toward healing, growth, and a more fulfilling life. I offer services in both English and Spanish. If you are ready to take the next step toward emotional wellness and personal growth, I invite you to reach out to schedule a consultation. You do not have to walk this journey alone.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
