I am a licensed clinical psychologist in the Mobile community. My practice includes providing psychotherapy for adults, age 19 and older, as well as comprehensive psychological testing, and consultation services for ages 6 and older. My research experience with resilience, mindfulness, stress, health psychology, spirituality, and anxiety paired with my experience working in community mental health, contribute to my ability to work with a range of people and psychological difficulties. These difficulties include anxiety-related, depressive, mood and personality disorders, as well as interpersonal and behavioral difficulties. My approach integrates evidence-based treatments such as cognitive-behavioral therapy and mindfulness strategies, which have been shown to be useful for a number of concerns. I also use a therapist-client collaborative approach to form and reach therapeutic goals. I believe mental wellness is influenced by biological, social, and psychological factors, and that treatment often requires a holistic approach to these concerns and how they interact. From this perspective, I aim to aid in reducing symptoms but also facilitate adaptability, resilience, well-health, and prevention of mental health disorders.

Are you looking to end generational trauma cycles, break negative thought patterns, and cope with the stress and anxiety of motherhood? My clients are moms and women who are hoping to become moms. Women who have worked with me report that they are able to think more clearly, "zoom out" on their lives to see things from a new perspective and make decisions that are aligned with their values. They are able to respond in healthy ways to everyday life stressors. They feel they are becoming their own definition of their “best selves”. I help women break the cycles that they have felt stuck in. I specialize in talk therapy and EMDR Therapy to heal trauma, reduce symptoms, and shift perspectives. I provide person-centered psychotherapy. We will start where you are each session to address current stressors, past traumas, and future goals. We will utilize a variety of tools including mindfulness, CBT, MI, and narrative therapy to address your goals. Parenthood (current or future) can bring to light so many of our anxieties, traumas, and insecurities. What if I'm not good enough? What if I mess this up? What if my child inherits my trauma? By seeking therapy you are choosing to "do the work" so that your children do not have to. That is a powerful and brave step. I hope to support that journey.
