Hi, I’m Beverly. I’m glad that you've made your way to this page in your search for solutions. I know that God has them for you and that you're not alone. Life’s problems, including mental health issues, are real, common, and treatable. Recovery is possible. If you’re feeling overwhelmed, worried, low on hope, or discouraged; If you’re being tossed about by your thoughts and emotions; If you’re struggling to take the next step and don’t see a clear path forward, don’t give up. Good therapy coupled with God’s Grace can transform hard places and roadblocks into circumstances that can be addressed and moved through and beyond. You can grow and flourish. You can live your best life. No matter what you’re facing, there is a way forward. You’re not the one person who has to stay stuck. There is help and hope for YOU! I'm honored to provide a safe, caring and professional environment for you to tell your personal story. I value this trust and listen intently to understand and help you feel seen and heard. Our sessions are a powerful combination of the best behavioral science tools available and, if you desire it, the incomparable Sword of the Spirit (God's Word). Since entering the mental health field in 1994, I’ve served on professional counseling boards and presented at professional conferences. I’ve designed multiple therapeutic intervention programs for K-12 schools and have written grants to fund them. At UAB I’ve served on the Master’s in Counseling program admissions committee, co-taught master’s level counseling classes, helped develop the Community Counseling Clinic, presented at continuing education events for other LPCs, and obtained certification as a Psychometrist (practitioner in psychological testing). I have some formal biblical education through Birmingham Theological Seminary and Dallas Theological Seminary. I'm currently pursuing advanced certification in Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) at the internationally acclaimed Beck Institute in Philadelphia. I’m a mental health blogger and speaker. I’m a member of the Christian Association for Psychological Studies and am on Alabama‘s leadership team for Moms in Prayer International. I will always go the extra mile to keep learning and serving because I know God has a good plan for you and that good therapy can help you step into it. As a seasoned therapist, I’ve worked with people from all walks of life facing all kinds of troubles. It has been my great privilege to witness hearts mended, minds healed, and relationships restored. In my own life, God has restored joy and purpose from pain. I’d be so honored to help you find that as well.
