20 years offering treatment

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor licensed in Alabama with over 20 years experience working with clients in my private practice and addictions treatment programs. My clients have come from all walks of life and have ranged in age from teens to seniors with problems that were fairly simple to solve to very complex issues that needed thoughtful exploration and innovative solutions. Because I am also a Registered Nurse, some clients have chosen to work with me around accepting and managing a medical problem that they or a loved one are learning to better manage. My approach to therapy is based in my interest in Jung and Adler while my style is founded in a typically Rogerian, client-centered warm approach. My training in Cognitive based therapy leads me to lean into using CBT techniques when the problems presented lend themselves to this approach. Because each person is different, I tend to match my approach to the person seeking help while always believing that my first responsibility is to listen because healing begins with the telling of the story. It takes courage to tell one's story to another and if you choose me to hear your story and journey with you to your answers, I promise to always keep your best interest top of mind and heart. I look forward to meeting you.

Find a therapist near you in Hodges, Alabama

Finding a therapist near you in Hodges, Alabama starts with matching to a licensed professional who fits your needs, schedule, and goals. Alabama is home to people with diverse mental health needs across urban, suburban, and rural communities, which can make it challenging to find care. BetterHelp connects you with a licensed therapist through tailored matching, so you can begin care from home or wherever works for you. 

The network includes over 30,000 licensed therapists globally, and over 4 million people have used BetterHelp to find support through online therapy. During matching, 93% of user preferences are met, which helps you connect with a therapist suited to what you are looking for. Whether you are searching for help with anxiety, trauma, affordable or insurance covered therapy, weekend or flexible scheduling, or virtual sessions, you can find a therapist and get started when you are ready.

Why work with a licensed therapist near you?

Working with a licensed therapist near you gives you access to professional mental health support from someone trained to help you understand and manage what you are going through. A licensed therapist can offer evidence-based approaches, a steady space to talk, and guidance tailored to your situation. In Alabama, online therapy can make that care more accessible, since sessions happen from home or wherever you are, without the need to travel to an office. This can help if your schedule is full, if travel is difficult, or if you simply prefer a more discreet setting. You can learn more about what a therapist does on the therapist role page.

Online therapy can be especially helpful for people living across Alabama, where access to in-person mental health care may vary by location.

What concerns can therapists help with?

Therapists can help with a wide range of concerns, including anxiety and stress, depression, trauma and PTSD, self-esteem and identity, people-pleasing and fear of rejection, insomnia and racing thoughts, workplace stress and burnout, substance use, parenting and co-parenting stress, grief and loss, and relationship and family challenges. Therapists on BetterHelp may draw on approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), depending on your needs and goals. You can explore support for specific concerns on pages such as generalized anxiety disorder, major depressive disorder, posttraumatic stress disorder, attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder, and eating disorders.

Please note that therapists on BetterHelp do not provide psychiatric medication management or formal diagnoses.

In-person therapy takes place at an office and may involve travel and set appointment windows.

Both formats can support meaningful progress, so the right choice often comes down to what fits your life.
