About

I am a nationally certified counselor and am licensed as a professional counselor in Alabama as well as Florida with 13 years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients with neurodivergence, stress and anxiety, trauma, abuse, anger management, motivation, self-esteem, couple's conflicts, confidence, substance use, and severe mental illnesses. I will always show up as my authentic self, and I expect my clients to do the same. I strive to be an unconditionally accepting and safe space for my clients where their thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment.

Education & Licensure

MS in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Jacksonville State University; Bachelors in Psychology from Jacksonville State University

Treatment Approach

What motivated you to specialize in working with autistic adults?

My motivation for working with neurodivergent clients is rooted in recognizing that there is a need for more care options that fit the needs of individuals in this community. Additionally, I have close people in my life that are part of the neurodivergent community and have a compassion for those that are navigating life from this perspective.

How do you bring a strengths-based, affirming approach to your client work?

I prioritize meeting each client with where their specific needs are and centering my approach to what works best for them. I believe that each client has individual needs that require an individualized approach. I want to validate my client's lived experiences and help them build on these to achieve their goals in life.
