"You are not a burden. You have a burden, which by definition is too heavy to carry alone." – Unknown.

Welcome to Hope City Counseling! I am honored to walk alongside you in your journey. As an Associate Licensed Counselor, practicing under the supervision of Richard Jones, LPC-S, my goal is to provide a safe and non-judgmental space where you can feel seen and heard.

My path to counseling was shaped by my own experiences in therapy during times of crisis and personal growth. Over the years, mentors and colleagues have described me as a good listener and someone who brings a calming presence to difficult conversations. A friend and mentor helped me realize how God "wired me" could be used to help others through counseling.

I hold undergraduate degrees in ministry and music, along with a Master's degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Auburn University at Montgomery. My combination of education and life experience equips me to support my clients with compassion.

My clinical focuses include depression, anxiety, grief, shame, relationship issues, and processing Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs). I believe that every person's story is unique, and I integrate various therapeutic approaches, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Therapy, and Logotherapy (meaning-centered therapy), to meet you where you are. Whether you wish to incorporate your faith into our sessions or prefer a purely clinical approach, I am committed to honoring your preferences.

I work with adults, with a special interest in helping men navigate emotional, relational, and mental health. Additionally, I have a heart for supporting pastors and ministry leaders as they face their unique challenges.

I meet with clients both in person and virtually, specifically for residents of Alabama. I would be honored to hear your story and assist you in taking the next best steps toward peace.
