Now Serving Clients In Alabama & Georgia
I am a psychotherapist, Licensed Clinical Social Worker, and certified trauma professional. I am passionate about helping individuals and families restore or cultivate emotional, physical, and social well-being and tranquility. So whether you're struggling with anxiety, low self-esteem, feeling overwhelmed or unmotivated, or having interpersonal relationship issues, I am here to help you.
Before starting a career in social work and mental health, I served proudly in the United States Army.
The Today ALONE Collective is founded on the principles of Aspire, Live, Overcome, Navigate, and Enrich. This endeavor reflects my commitment to guiding individuals toward holistic growth and resilience.
I am trained in working with individuals, couples, and families healing from trauma symptoms, anxiety, depression, and somatic issues.
I use a combination of evidence-based and trauma-focused therapeutic approaches that incorporate elements of EMDR, Brief Solution-Focused, Cognitive Behavioral (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT therapy), Dialectical Behavior (DBT), Play Therapy, Attachment-Based, Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral (TF-CBT), and Expressive Art Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Trauma-Informed Mind-Body Practices.
Additionally, I employ a person-in-environment approach to help my clients understand their unique challenges and strengths and consider how their relationships and communities (i.e., school, family, work, culture, etc.) impact their well-being.
