We are practical, interactive, and solution-focused therapists and we provide support with insight and feedback to help you address current challenges and long-standing issues. With sensitivity and compassion, we can help bring resolution to a wide range of life challenges and psychological issues.

With an integration of methods, we draw from a selection of styles and techniques to incorporate what is most helpful. Together with you, we work to build on strengths and achieve life goals. In doing this, we also emphasize the need for empirically supported and cost-effective assessment and intervention.

My goal in my practice is to provide a safe, supportive place where clients can explore issues they are facing. I am a licensed clinical psychologist with a B.A. from Samford University, Masters and Doctorate degrees from the University of Alabama. I completed my internship at the Birmingham VA/UAB Department of Psychiatric Medicine. My graduate school training focused on chronic pain, cardiac rehabilitation, developing/implementing health education campaigns and weight loss. I also specialize in depression, anxiety, life transitions, infertility, working with adolescents and parents on communication/building bonds, life/work balance, managing chronic illness, and couples therapy.

Had enough? Give me a call when you’re ready to find rest, reboot your heart and mind, and strategize about the next steps in creating a healthier existence. As someone who has found myself at the crossroads more than once, I’d by honored to provide caring guidance as you figure out what change looks like. My goal is to provide a safe place where feelings can be explored and suggestions be considered, without any judgement or pressure. A good therapy session will be one where you feel heard, valued, challenged, and empowered. Nights and weekends available.
I’ve had the unique opportunity to wear a lot of hats in my life, including mother, police officer, and psychology professor. These have given me a soft spot in my heart and unique expertise to work with law enforcement, first responders, parents of infants, empty nesters, and college students.

At Evolution Psychology, I also provide my clients with a mindfulness approach including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Mindfulness Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy (MCBT). My focus is to assist individuals, couples and families focus and develop healthy relationships while experiencing unwanted thoughts and memories.

Working towards self-empowerment, I help clients develop self-awareness to recognize their beliefs and values in the here-and-now. I assist individuals with mindful self-exploration, tuning in to their personal strengths and abilities and helping them realize and create the life that works for them.

I work with adults who are struggling with mood and anxiety problems, including individuals with depression, bipolar disorder, or post trauma stress. Working collaboratively, my clients and I work to improve the quality of their lives – their work, their recreation, and their relationships. I also enjoy working with individuals who are struggling with life transitions, good or bad, that increase stress in one’s life.
Client-centred therapy: Each client comes with a unique set of beliefs, values, and ways of thinking. So the approach is tailored to individual clients, based on the information they share about themselves. Couples work is based on Gottman’s relationship principles and borrows from multiple other approaches.
