Services

I am trauma-informed therapist who views client concerns through an attachment lens, pulling in various tools from cognitive behavioral approaches, as necessary.

Trauma Therapy

Healing trauma is important for reclaiming safety, restoring emotional balance, and creating a fulfilling life beyond past pain.

I provide trauma therapy in Huntsville using evidence-based methods such as EMDR and Emotionally Focused Individual Therapy (EFIT) to help individuals heal from the lasting effects of trauma, PTSD, and complex emotional wounds.

Couples & Relationship Therapy

Strong relationships are the foundation for emotional well-being and personal growth, and therapy offers couples a supportive space to navigate challenges, deepen intimacy, and build lasting resilience together.

I provide couples and relationship therapy in Huntsville, using research-backed approaches like the Gottman Method and Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy to help partners improve communication, rebuild trust, and strengthen emotional connection.

Individual Therapy

Personalized therapy empowers you to gain self-awareness, build coping skills, and create meaningful, lasting change tailored to your unique needs.

I provide individual therapy in Huntsville that integrates evidence-based approaches—from cognitive-behavioral tools to attachment-based and trauma-informed methods—to address both the thinking patterns (“top-down”) and emotional/physiological responses (“bottom-up”) that influence your well-being.

Parenting / Family Therapy

Families are the first place we learn about connection, safety, and how to manage conflict. When those patterns are disrupted, whether by developmental differences, behavioral challenges, or emotional wounds, it can impact everyone’s well-being and relationships. Family therapy offers a safe space to address these dynamics and build stronger bonds.

I provide family therapy in Huntsville using Emotionally Focused Family Therapy (EFFT) alongside practical strategies to help families navigate challenges like ADHD, communication struggles, and stress.
