Taking the first step into therapy requires real courage, and if you’re here, you’re already doing the heavy lifting by choosing to prioritize yourself.

My philosophy is built on a balance of deep empathy and straightforward honesty. I’m known for a refreshingly direct, open style—I don’t just sit back and nod silently while you talk. Together, we’ll dive into what’s holding you back, hold space for what hurts, and focus on practical, actionable steps to help you move forward. I’m here to be a firm, compassionate ally who holds you accountable in a way that feels supportive, clear, and focused on real growth.

My path in mental health began at the University of Alabama at Birmingham, where I completed both my Bachelor’s in Psychology and my Master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. From there, I sharpened my skills on the front lines of care, working in both hospital and outpatient clinic settings before joining The Mind Laboratory. Handling acute crisis care and intensive programs taught me how to guide people through their most overwhelming moments with calm, steady focus.

Using evidence-based approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness, and solution-focused therapy, I help adults navigate anxiety, depression, major life transitions, self-esteem struggles, and LGBTQIA+ topics. You are the expert on your own life—my role is to give you the tools, clarity, and perspective to step into your full confidence.

If you’re looking for a therapist who will listen without judgment, tell you the truth, and actively help you build the life you want, I’m here. Let's get to work.
