Counseling in Huntsville AL

You Don’t Have to Live in Survival Mode

If you’re feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or stuck in cycles of anxiety and shutdown, you’re not broken—your system has been trying to protect you.

There is another way to live. And you don’t have to figure it out alone.

Counseling in Huntsville, AL offers a slower, more grounded approach to healing—one that helps you breathe again and reconnect with yourself.

If you tend to live in your head, talk therapy can sometimes keep you there. Traditional talk therapy often focuses on understanding your thoughts and experiences. That can be helpful, but for many people it is not enough. The work I do goes beyond talking by gently engaging the nervous system and deeper parts of the brain that shape how safe, steady, and present you feel. We still talk, but we also work with the body, imagery, and felt experience so change is not just something you understand, but something you feel.

A Place to Rest, Reflect, and Reconnect

My name is Liz, an I’m a counselor in Huntsville, AL, offering therapy for adults who feel overwhelmed by their emotions or disconnected from themselves. I support high-achieving and over-functioning adults shift out of tying their worth to productivity, caretaking, & masking their own needs by helping clients learn to regulate their nervous system, understand what they are feeling, and build a steadier, more trusting relationship with themselves. Over time, many notice not only less anxiety, but also shifts in their relationships, boundaries, and the way they talk to themselves.

In our work, we slow down and get curious. We track what is happening in your body and use imagery, metaphors, somatic tools, and grounded conversation to make sense of your internal world. I bring training in lifespan integration, somatic therapy, brainspotting, and visualization to support this process. These approaches help you build capacity rather than pushing harder, allowing your body to learn it does not have to stay on high alert or earn rest.

My approach is warm, steady, and grounded in the belief that your system has been doing its best to protect you. Together, we create the conditions for something different—something slower, gentler, and more like being with yourself rather than fighting yourself. Therapy becomes a place where you can arrive as you are and start to feel more present, balanced, and capable of moving through life with self-trust.

I move through life with an awareness of seasons, rhythms, and the quiet intelligence of the body. I’m drawn to slowness, deep listening, and the spaces where healing unfolds naturally when there is enough safety and care. My work is rooted in the belief that growth doesn’t come from pushing or fixing, but from honoring your pace and trusting the wisdom already held within you.

Therapy That Helps You Relate Differently to What’s Inside

I focus on helping you reconnect with yourself in ways that feel sustainable and human by….

Getting out of your head

Rather than staying only in your head, sometimes it helps to step back from intense thoughts or emotions and look at them from the outside. By giving internal experiences some form outside of you, through use of mindfulness, simple imagery, symbols, or visual representations, they feel less overwhelming and easier to understand.

Regulating Your Nervous System
Learn to relate differently to anxiety, shutdown, and stress by noticing how they show up in your body and mind. I help you create space between you and what feels overwhelming, so regulation happens without forcing calm or numbing out.

Understanding Your Emotions
Instead of analyzing emotions endlessly, we use imagery and felt sense to clarify what different emotional patterns need and why they exist. This often brings relief, insight, and self-compassion—without pressure to “fix” anything.

Challenging Old Beliefs
Longstanding beliefs about productivity, perfection, or worth often formed as ways to cope. By externalizing these patterns through visual and experiential work, you can examine them from a steadier place and loosen their grip—rather than trying to think your way out of them.

Integrating Life Experiences
Using Lifespan Integration, somatic practices, visualization, and grounded conversation, we help your system process past and present experiences so they no longer feel as charged or intrusive. Integration allows experiences to be held as part of your story, not something you’re still stuck inside.

Over time, clients report:

Less dread in the mornings

Less self critical

More confidence in setting boundaries and managing emotions

Greater permission to be human rather than perfect

A renewed sense of connection to themselves, even in a demanding world

Start Where You Are

You don’t need to understand everything about your feelings before you begin. Therapy can be a place to rest, explore, and discover what comes next at a pace that honors your capacity.

If you’re tired of feeling numb, anxious, and disconnected—and want a space where you don’t have to hold it all together—I invite you to reach out. We can talk about what you’re carrying and whether working together feels like the right next step.
