Seeking therapy transformed my own life and motivated me to become one myself. It is truly an honor to sit alongside someone and help them to crawl out of the darkness into a joyful life. Therapy will not fix things overnight. It is a process but the rewards are great. It takes bravery to face your past, your present and plan for a better future. However, I believe nothing is worse than staying stuck where you don't belong. The reality is that we can't change what happened to us. It may not even be our fault... but our healing is our responsibility. We do not have to be defined by what happened to us. We can still build a beautiful life and every single person deserves that.
I have been a licensed social worker since 2013 and an LICSW, PIP since 2018. I received a social work supervision certification in 2022. I specialize in working with clients who struggle with depression and anxiety. Another focus of mine is those who struggle with suicidal ideation. I have a passion and history working with veterans. I am currently the Suicide Prevention Coordinator for the Huntsville VA.
I am certified in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Depression (CBT-D), and am certified in Gottman Level One Marital Therapy.
