As a licensed therapist in Alabama, I specialize in supporting individuals navigating complex emotional landscapes. My professional approach centers on helping clients explore self-love, combat isolation, and discover deeper life purpose. With extensive experience addressing depression, addiction, trauma, and anger management, I offer compassionate, affirming care with a particular focus on the LGBTQ+ community.
My therapeutic practice is grounded in creating a supportive, non-judgmental environment where individuals can explore their authentic selves. I understand the unique challenges many face in developing self-acceptance and meaningful connections. Through collaborative, evidence-based techniques, I aim to empower clients to build resilience, heal from past experiences, and cultivate personal growth.
I'm committed to providing inclusive, progressive therapy that respects each person's individual journey. My goal is to walk alongside you as you develop stronger self-understanding, emotional wellness, and a more fulfilling life path.

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.
