“Be you, in bloom” isn’t just a tagline. It’s how I approach my work as a Licensed Professional Counselor and it’s how I help each and every one of my clients.

Bloom Counseling exists to empower the highest achieving members of the Huntsville community in reaching their goals. I do this, not by encouraging you to do more or be more, but by encouraging you to slow down and take stock of what’s working and what’s not.

By getting extremely clear on what works for you, you can begin to let go of the things that are holding you back in order to maximize your efficiency and effectiveness.

about me

I’m warm, yet direct, and love working with people who are ready to make lasting changes. My style is interactive and I’m not afraid to get in the trenches with you and talk about anything you need to get off your chest.

As a lifelong leader, former Division I athlete, and coach, I know what it takes to motivate and communicate with top performers to help them overcome obstacles and reach their goals.

I was born and raised in Connecticut, and have been living in Madison, AL for 14 years. In my free time, I love hanging out with my family, friends, & pets, antiquing and decorating my home, and gardening.

 My professional background

 

I completed my education at the University of Michigan and Nova Southeastern University, followed by an internship at Skyland Trail, a nationally recognized mental health treatment organization in Atlanta, Georgia. After relocating to Huntsville, I served as a Program Director at the Mental Health Center of North Central Alabama, where I oversaw clinical operations at the Decatur-Morgan Counseling Center. I dedicated nine years of my career to treating individuals with serious mental illness, and as a National Health Service Corps Alumni, successfully fulfilled my commitment to serving one of America’s communities with limited access to care. I’m an active member of the Alabama Counseling Association, the Association for Applied Sport Psychology, and the International Association of Eating Disorder Professionals.

I’ve developed a specialization in treating those who suffer from depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, and schizophrenia, and have direct experience working with people at each and every stage of these illnesses. In addition, I have a special interest in working with busy, high-achieving individuals and the issues they face (Career & Stress Management, Sport Performance & Performance Anxiety, Perfectionism, Work-Family Conflict, Demanding Schedules, Food & Body Image Issues, Self-esteem, and The Imposter Phenomenon). In a safe and supportive environment, I help my clients regain a sense of adequacy, balance, and understanding, which ultimately leads to more fulfilling relationships, improved life satisfaction, and better health.
