About

Therapy does not require revisiting every detail or having the right words to express yourself. My focus is on creating safety, processing adverse experiences, and restoring balance. As a Veteran, I bring a direct understanding of military life, the complexities of deployment, and the unique challenges of transitioning to civilian life. Additionally, my 12-year career in corporate America provides me with a deep perspective on the high-pressure demands of the modern workplace. This dual background allows me to offer a therapeutic space built on shared experience, cultural competence, and a practical understanding of the environments my clients navigate daily. Additionally, I practice under the supervision of Cynthia (Cindy) Smith LPC-S AL03434.
