My approach to therapy is centered on restorative, faith-integrated family systems work that helps individuals, couples, and families build healthier, more connected lives. I provide trauma-informed counseling, Christian-based therapy when requested, and compassionate support for clients navigating relationship stress, parenting challenges, or complex family dynamics.

Using evidence-based models—including EFT, the Gottman Method, CBT, DBT, and attachment-focused therapy—I help clients uncover the patterns shaping their relationships so they can experience lasting emotional and relational healing. My work is especially supportive for couples in crisis, blended families, and court-involved families seeking a steady, trustworthy therapist in the Opelika and Auburn area.

In my previous role at East Alabama Mental Health Center (now Integrea), I gained extensive experience helping clients with trauma, PTSD, depression, anxiety, schizophrenia, ADHD, grief, anger management, and relational conflict. Since 2022, I have also served as a Court-Appointed Special Advocate (CASA), advocating for children in the foster care system—experience that strengthens my understanding of families facing legal and systemic stress.

For clients who desire Christian counseling, I integrate biblical wisdom, prayerful reflection, and faith-anchored guidance. For others, I use a holistic, evidence-based approach grounded in emotional safety, connection, and proven therapeutic principles. My goal is always the same: to help you restore what’s been hurting, strengthen what’s good, and build the kind of relationships that last.

I currently practice under the supervision of Tony Watkins, LMFT-S, while working toward independent licensure. You are always welcome to ask questions about the supervision process.
