Seeking support takes courage, and I believe every person deserves a space where they feel heard, respected, and empowered to create meaningful change. My goal is to help you better understand yourself, build practical tools for everyday life, and move toward lasting wellness, not just symptom relief.

As a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) with more than 15 years of professional experience, I've had the privilege of working with individuals facing a wide range of challenges. I earned my Master of Social Work from the University of Alabama and have specialized training in substance use treatment as a Qualified Substance Abuse Professional (QSAP I). My experience also includes extensive case management and helping patients navigate life-changing medical events, including serious hospitalizations and chronic illnesses such as kidney disease and dialysis.

My approach combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) with Gestalt therapy, a humanistic, experiential approach that emphasizes self-awareness, personal responsibility, and living fully in the present moment. Together, we'll look beyond the immediate problem to understand the whole picture of your health and well-being, identifying patterns, strengthening resilience, and developing practical strategies you can engage in everyday situations.

I believe therapy works best when it's collaborative. Whether you're working through anxiety, depression, substance use, major life transitions, medical trauma, or simply feeling stuck, I'll meet you where you are. My role is to help you develop a personalized roadmap that supports your goals while building the confidence and practical skills to move forward with purpose.

You don't have to have everything figured out before you begin. If you're ready to invest in yourself, I'm here to walk alongside you every step of the way.
