SpecialtiesI work with people who are seeking relief from unhelpful patterns that are disrupting their life. Patterns which can lead to over-functioning on a daily basis. This over-compensating can leave you feeling anxious, empty, hopeless, and disconnected from yourself and others. I will help you shift from surviving to thriving by using effective treatments tailored specifically to your needs. It takes courage to be vulnerable and ask for support. I am here to provide a safe and accepting space for you to integrate with your authentic self and shed what no longer serves you.HistoryTrained in Austin, TX at the Episcopal Theological Seminary of the Southwest I am excited to call Birmingham home. I have years of experience helping others to infuse joy, healing, and growth into their lives. Being a therapist is a deep calling in my life and I am excited to provide an accepting and peaceful space for you to heal.
