ART Therapists in Mobile, AL

For the past 21 years, I have been helping people discover the origins of their problems, and to heal from the resulting brokenness. Very often the brokeness began long before the symptoms and life struggles manifested. For individuals who have had adverse experiences that required dissociation to survive their traumas, finding the right therapist is not easy. My many years of working with traumatized individuals as a Pastoral Counselor combined with my clinical training has enabled me to help many heal and fully recover from their PTSD and dissociation. I provide a non judgmental approach to help people heal and recover so that they can live productive lives. My pastoral experience and Christian training enables me to help the whole person.

As a therapist who has been practicing for over 20 years, I have developed a well-honed approach, style, skillset, and flow, which helps to make your experience personalized, efficient, responsive, and often highly effective. I possess the intellect and experience to meet you where you are. I intentionally keep my practice small so that I can respond quickly to your needs. Most people do not reach out to therapists because they want to start therapy in 3 months; they probably needed to start yesterday! I can usually get you started within the week and offer flexible scheduling and evening appointments if necessary.

Are you worried about the way you are feeling? Maybe you are overwhelmed, can't sleep, are plagued by intrusive thoughts, or just feel sad and stuck. I provide therapy designed for healing and growth. Using research based strategies tailored to how you learn, we will build on your strengths to help you reach the life you want, on a timeline that feels right for you. You are not in this alone, and together we will create a plan to help you feel well, honor your emotions, and feel confident in yourself and your choices.

Are you feeling overwhelmed by depression, anxiety, sleep issues, or painful memories? Do relationships feel challenging or leave you feeling drained? If these symptoms affect your daily life, I'm here to help. As a clinical psychologist with over 27 years of experience, I specialize in treating adults with insomnia, nightmares, PTSD, anxiety, and depression. Additionally, I am board-certified in behavioral sleep medicine. In our work together, you will find me warm, caring, professional, practical, and down-to-earth. I believe in working collaboratively, informing you about your symptoms, providing you with practical ways to address your symptoms, and ensuring you can see your progress. Whether you're facing long-term challenges or sudden difficulties, I'm here to support you. Please reach out; let's explore how we can work together on your journey toward healing.

My approach to therapy is warm, collaborative, and grounded in genuine connection—with a touch of humor along the way. I support clients through life’s challenges, including anxiety, depression, unresolved trauma, relational struggles, and major transitions. Together, we’ll explore the patterns that support your well-being and those that may be holding you back, always with a focus on your unique values, needs, and goals. Drawing from evidence-based therapies, I tailor our work to help you feel empowered, deepen self-understanding, and move toward meaningful change. Taking this step toward healing is courageous, and I’m here to walk alongside you as you create the life you want.

Mobile is Alabama's only seaport and one of the Gulf Coast's oldest cities, with a Creole heritage and Mardi Gras tradition that predate New Orleans's celebrations — giving it a cultural richness distinct from most Alabama cities. The city has a large African American population and a significant community connected to the healthcare and aerospace sectors, including Airbus's US manufacturing base. University of South Alabama and USA Health provide both institutional mental health resources and clinical training programs that feed into the local therapy community. Mobile's strong faith community and conservative Southern culture mean spiritually integrated therapy is widely available, and therapists who can work within diverse religious frameworks find broad acceptance across the city's varied neighborhoods.
