From Fury to Freedom

I am promoting my new book, it is a transformative self-help guide to stop aggressive behaviors and create a more fulfilling life by removing the limits of aggression. Based on proven principles and practical skills, it provides step-by-step strategies to overcome aggressive patterns. You’ll learn effective communication skills and mindfulness practices to slow down or prevent emotional outbursts. In addition, you’ll explore core principles that foster greater self-awareness, emotional regulation, and healthier more balanced relationships. With clear, insightful guidance, this book is essential for anyone seeking to prevent the self-harm of aggressive behavior. The workbook can be used as a self-guided experience or together with a counselor, therapist, or other mental health worker.

For more than eight years, I have served as an independent contractor with Tree of Life Behavioral Health, located at 190 Lime Quarry Rd. in Madison, Alabama. Before, I worked for over 13 years in the substance abuse field. My academic journey began at St. Edward’s University in Austin, Texas, where I earned a Bachelor’s Degree in Liberal Studies with a specific focus on Substance Abuse, eventually culminating in a Master of Arts in Counseling.


Now a Licensed Professional Counselor practicing in both Alabama and Texas, I am dedicated to walking alongside you as you manage life’s complexities—whether they rise from history or future anxieties. My aim is not to rewrite who you are, but to offer steady support and expert guidance through the transformations you wish to achieve. Challenges like panic, depression, anxiety, or phobias often signal a struggle with specific life events; together, we can redefine those experiences.

 

I utilize an eclectic therapeutic style tailored to individual needs, integrating techniques from:


• Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR)
• Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT)
• Reality Therapy
• Mindfulness Meditation Therapy
• Anger Management and Emotional Regulation


These diverse methodologies are designed to help you cultivate resilient coping mechanisms and inspire authentic personal evolution.

Mindfulness for Inner Freedom

Mindfulness meditation is an important part of the 'From Fury to Freedom' approach. By cultivating present-moment awareness, you gain the clarity needed to transform reactive patterns into conscious choices to use the communication skills presented. Explore our guided practices and resources to anchor your journey toward emotional regulation and elimination of  aggressive behavior.

Mindfulness Practice

My  mission is to guide you through the complex landscape of emotions anger, anxiety, irritability, etc. I offer the tools and wisdom needed to find lasting freedom to choose and to improve your ability to choose wisely. 

​

It's been said that we are only alive in the moment and no other  time. Although we have memories, the past does not exist. We

cannot  change  past events. We can learn from the past. But, what do we do when we keep reliving the past emotionally in our present moment? We are being robbed of the present moment the only only moment we are alive.  

​

It is through awareness that gain the ability to change. In fact without awareness there can be no change yet awareness by itself does not create change. One must take action. Awareness + Action

= Change. If you are reading this you are taking action. Now whether with me or another therapist begin your journey. I would love to assist you with your journey of transformation.
