My Approach to Helping
If you are currently looking at my profile, there is a specific reason that you are here. I will start by saying that I am encouraged by you because taking the first steps to seeking therapy is oftentimes the hardest part.
I am an Associate Licensed Counselor who completed a Master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling at Troy University. My journey has been shaped by various life experiences and the transformative impact individual counseling has had on my life over the years, sparking a deep passion for helping others in a similar fashion.
Whether working with individuals or couples, I provide therapy for a range of issues, including partner betrayal trauma, acute, chronic, and complex trauma, attachment disorders, relationship struggles, grief, depression, anxiety, and addiction. You can find me offering support both at the Mountain Brook office and online, aiming to create a safe and empathetic space. Additionally, I am currently working towards a military and first responder certification from Troy University.
My mission extends beyond just being a counselor—I aspire to build strong connections with my clients, walking alongside them through life's struggles to help them attain a more fulfilled life. In my downtime, I cherish moments with friends and family, indulge in activities like mountain biking and lacrosse, and have a genuine obsession with college and professional sports. I am also an active member at a local church in Birmingham.
More Info About My Practice
I am currently a Certified Partner Trauma Therapist Candidate, which is a training certification for working with those who have experienced any form of betrayal from a romantic partner or loved one. Specifically, my desire is to work with men who have experienced betrayal. Unfortunately, men's processing of such experiences have been severely understudied. Thus, I am joining the ranks of research to help better understand men's processing of these experiences, and to understand what modalities work best for working through the overwhelming processing of such experiences. If you or someone you know has experienced any form of betrayal, my desire is to bring forth authentic healing, however that may look for the individual.
