I help adults in Mississippi who are feeling overwhelmed by depression, anxiety, grief, trauma, addiction, low self-esteem, or major life changes. If you’re used to taking care of everyone else and are finally wondering, “What about me?”, you’re in the right place. Therapy with me is a nonjudgmental space where you can slow down, feel heard, and start making sense of what you’re going through so life doesn’t feel so heavy.

Starting therapy can feel like a big step, especially when you have been carrying life’s challenges on your own. Whether you are seeking support for yourself or your child, I want you to know that you do not have to have everything figured out before walking through my door. My goal is to create a space where you feel comfortable being yourself, sharing your story, and exploring your feelings without fear of judgment.

I work with children, youth, and adults, and I believe every person deserves to feel heard, valued, and understood. I approach therapy with compassion, patience, and an open heart, recognizing that everyone’s journey is different. I understand that healing takes time, and I strive to meet each client where they are while honoring their individual experiences, strengths, and goals.

My approach is holistic and client-centered. I incorporate evidence-based methods, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), mindfulness, and strengths-based techniques, to help clients develop healthy coping skills, build resilience, and navigate life’s challenges. Together, we explore practical strategies that support emotional wellness, personal growth, and healthier relationships.

I believe therapy is not about changing who you are or expecting perfection. It is about discovering your strengths, understanding yourself more deeply, and learning new ways to respond to life’s challenges. I value the connection we build throughout the therapeutic process and believe meaningful growth happens when you feel safe, supported, and empowered.

Most importantly, I want you to know that you do not have to walk this journey alone. I am here to listen, encourage, and work alongside you as you take steps toward healing, growth, and a more fulfilling life. We will move at a pace that feels comfortable for you, recognizing and celebrating progress along the way.
