What to Expect if We Work Together

Life happens… and sometimes it hurts. Struggle is a natural part of the course of our life experience. Yet, sometimes struggle can affect our relationships, our behavior, our jobs/work, and our goals. And, it can affect our overall wellbeing. You may find that you feel sad, overwhelmed, anxious, distressed, tired, or hopeless. In these cases, it can be helpful to work alongside a professional therapist to navigate the path forward. When I work alongside you, my approach is to build an authentic relationship that centers who you are and how you see the world (culturally responsive care). In addition, we will explore your relevant past and place your past in the here-and-now context of your present. I will also help you build strategies to confront and eventually conquer the (internal) struggle. My techniques are evidence-based, rooted in interpersonal and cognitive-behavioral principles of psychology.

About Me

I am a Licensed Psychologist (AL#1964) in the state of Alabama. I received a BA in Psychology from Emory University and a PhD in Counseling Psychology from Auburn University. Prior to joining APWC, I completed an internship in general and multicultural Psychology at Georgia Institute of Technology and a post-doctoral fellowship in Health Psychology (specifically neurodegenerative and autoimmune disorders) at North Main Counseling & Wellness/Premier Neurology. My passion is to connect aspects of mental, physical, and spiritual wellbeing. I have worked alongside patients and caregivers as we all strive toward living our best lives. Previously, I have practiced in counseling centers, medical clinics, and private practice offices. I work extensively with the National Multiple Sclerosis Society, and I currently serve on the NMSS Healthcare Provider Council.

In addition to clinical practice at APWC, I am an Associate Professor in Counseling Psychology, which allows me to stay current on the latest research and therapy treatment techniques. When I kick back and relax, it is to laugh and play with my loves, including my husband, two boys and baby girl, and my two (huge) dogs (who also act like babies).
