BIO:
As a professionally trained therapist I see my role as a helper and guide who can provide a compassionate, objective viewpoint to my clients. I believe in helping people become self-reliant, self-empowered, responsible and accountable.
I use many therapeutic techniques like existential meaning-of-life therapy, person-centered therapy, motivational enhancement therapy, reality therapy, cognitive-behavioral therapy, spirituality and creative art modalities. I provide workshops, trainings and presentations for Mental Health and Substance Abuse Professionals. Check out my new website ; www.counselingalabama.com
Couples have described my marriage and relationship counseling as very helpful in working toward a more peaceful, fulfilling, communicative relationship.
