I am an Associate Licensed Counselor in the state of Alabama and a Nationally Certified Counselor. I received my Master of Education from University of West Alabama in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. My philosophy of counseling is rooted in my experience as a teacher. I chose to enter into the mental health field upon witnessing the brokenness, trauma, and despair I encountered in the lives of students, parents, and colleagues.
With 16 years of experience working in the school setting, I enjoy helping adolescents/teenagers work through mental health challenges they may encounter. Additionally, I am passionate about helping women navigate unique life challenges - this can include motherhood, pre/post pregnancy complications, pre-term birth, fertility issues, unexpected birth outcomes, endometriosis, PCOS, chronic pelvic pain, hormone imbalances, and/or (peri) menopausal.
With a deep understanding of the mind-body connection and the belief that healing begins by exploring the wisdom/felt sense held within the body, my therapeutic approach is a blend of experiential and body-centered psychotherapies that integrate somatic techniques designed to help clients access and process emotions stored in the body.
I currently accept Cigna/Evernorth, Optum, United Healthcare, United Behavioral Health, and Aetna insurance. For out of network, I can provide a superbill in order for you to make a claim with your insurance provider. I am under the direct supervision of Pamela Quekemeyer, Licensed Professional Counselor – Supervisor in the state of Alabama #SC3180.
