I am a dedicated and compassionate therapist specializing in children, adolescents, and young adults. I am committed to assisting patients in achieving long-term self-management of their mental health. I firmly believe the first step in youth mental health treatment is recognizing that therapy is not a punishment but an opportunity to unlock one's potential. I strive to create a safe and supportive space that fosters growth and development, allows individual development of coping skills, identifies sources of support, increases mindfulness, and promotes accountability of mental health goals. , I empower my clients to take an active role in their well-being by establishing trust and building a solid therapeutic alliance. I am passionate about helping young individuals unlock their potential, develop healthy coping mechanisms, and navigate life's challenges with resilience. By providing a nurturing and non-judgmental environment, I strive to empower my clients to embrace their strengths and achieve their mental health goals. I employ diverse interventions, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness, Rational Emotional Behavior Therapy, Structural Family Therapy, goal-setting, and creative wellness techniques.

My experience working with at-risk youth and their families has provided me with valuable insights into the challenges they face and the various dynamics that impact their lives. I am passionate about supporting my clients with the necessary tools to overcome obstacles and build resilience. I strive to maximize my client's growth and development potential by utilizing evidence-based practices and developing individualized treatment plans.

I earned my bachelor's degree in rhetorical communication at the University of Alabama in Huntsville and two master's degree programs in clinical psychology and family and consumer sciences with a concentration in human development at Alabama A&M University. My diverse educational background emphasizes my commitment to understanding the complexities of individuals and their relationships within a broader context. I actively read research studies of family and child psychology and human psychological development, allowing me to incorporate the latest findings into my practice, ensuring that I provide up-to-date, evidence-based interventions that are effective and relevant. I am here to assist you if you seek a therapist who combines expertise, empathy, and a person-centered approach. Together, we can embark on a journey toward emotional well-being and personal growth.
