Hi, I’m Beverly—welcome.

 

I’m so glad you’ve found your way here. If life feels overwhelming right now, please know this: you are not alone, and there is hope. I believe healing is possible, not just through good therapy, but through the grace of God working in the midst of your circumstances.

 

In our sessions, every part of you is welcome—your questions, your burdens, your faith, your fears, and your story. This is a space to breathe, reflect, heal, and grow. We may laugh, we may cry, but most importantly, we will walk forward together. My goal is to help you uncover the strength and beauty that’s already within you—and to remind you of what’s still possible.

With over 25 years in the mental health field, I’ve worked with people from all walks of life. I currently serve as the Director of Still Waters Counseling Center. I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in the state of Alabama, having earned my licensure in 1998. My academic background includes three degrees in behavioral sciences from the University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB), Seminary classes, and advanced professional training:

​

  • B.A. in Psychology

  • M.A. in Rehabilitation Counseling

  • Ed.S. in Counseling

  • Completed Seminary coursework in Biblical Counseling

  • Advanced CBT training at the Beck Institute

  • Obtained certification in psychometry (psychological assessment)

 

Throughout my career, I’ve supported individuals facing anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, relationship struggles, personality disorders, psychosis, caregiving stress, and life transitions. I’ve practiced in both school-based and clinical settings, providing therapy and psychological assessments for children, teens, adults, and families.

 

I’ve also served in a variety of professional and volunteer leadership roles:

​

  • Member of counseling boards and conference presenter

  • Developer of therapeutic intervention programs for public schools

  • UAB Counseling program contributor and co-instructor

  • Mental health blogger, speaker, and member of the American Association of Christian Counselors

  • Former Alabama Leadership Team member for Moms in Prayer International

 

I’m committed to continuing education and excellence—because I’ve seen firsthand that good therapy works, especially when coupled with God’s truth and grace.

 

Let’s take the next step toward healing—together.
