Personal Statement
Working for transformative therapy built on over two decades of compassionate care. With over 25 years of dedicated experience, I partner with individuals, couples, and families to navigate life's complexities with confidence and clarity. My multi-state licensure across Alabama, Colorado, the District of Columbia, Maine, and New Hampshire allows me to meet you wherever you are on your journey. Why Clients Choose to Work with Me: My strengths-based, goal-oriented approach forms the foundation for our transformative therapeutic relationship.
I understand how overwhelming it can feel when life's challenges seem insurmountable. You deserve someone who sees your unique strengths for healing. Together, we'll create a safe space where your experiences are validated and your goals become achievable steps toward the life you envision. When you're ready to begin this journey, I am here.

For over 26 years, I have partnered with individuals, couples, and families to navigate life's complexities with confidence and clarity. Licensed across Alabama, Colorado, Washington D.C., Maine, and New Hampshire, I meet you wherever you are — geographically and emotionally.
Why Clients Choose to Work with Me - My approach is strengths-based and goal-oriented, blending academic rigor with real-world clinical experience. As both a practicing therapist and university instructor with dual master's degrees in social work and instructional design, I bring something to the therapeutic relationship that is genuinely rare: the ability to bridge evidence-based research and meaningful human connection. I specialize in anxiety, depression, and bipolar disorders; trauma and PTSD; family and relationship dynamics; grief; life transitions; ADHD and learning differences; military and veteran support; medical and physical health challenges; and substance use.
Our Work Together - Therapy with me is collaborative and tailored. We uncover root causes, build on your existing strengths, develop healthier patterns, and set goals that align with your life and values.
Your Journey Starts Here - Choosing to begin is an act of courage — and you will not walk it alone. With a background spanning medical social work, burn and transplant care, child welfare, and academia, I have witnessed the full range of human struggle and resilience. I know transformation is possible because I have had the privilege of watching it happen. The path may be long, but the greatest reward is not reaching the end — it is who you become along the way.
