If you’ve been carrying anxiety, relationship struggles, family conflict, or simply feeling like life has become harder to navigate, you don’t have to figure it all out on your own. Thank you for considering me as your therapist. I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor with over 10 years of counseling experience and a Master of Arts in Marriage and Family Counseling from New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary. I work with adults facing anxiety, relationship and family challenges, self-esteem concerns, grief, women’s issues, and the unique challenges that can come with aging and geriatric care. I also offer Christian counseling for clients who want their faith to be part of their therapeutic experience. Whatever brings you to counseling, my goal is to understand what you need and help you move toward meaningful change.
I have worked as a therapist since 2014 and really enjoy supporting people in exploring their identity, processing trauma, navigating life transitions, and parenting. I use several different therapy modalities, including EMDR and Brainspotting. Together we can find what works best for you.

Welcome — I’m Glad You’re Here!
Starting therapy can feel intimidating, but I want you to know that you don’t have to have everything figured out before you walk through the door. My goal is to create a warm, comfortable, and down-to-earth environment where you can be yourself, feel heard, and talk openly without judgment.
I believe therapy should be both supportive and challenging. I’ll meet you where you are, but I also won’t be afraid to gently challenge you when I believe it can help you grow. Sometimes we need someone to simply listen and help us make sense of what we’re feeling. Other times, we need someone to help us look at things differently, step outside of our comfort zone, or recognize patterns that may be holding us back.
You can expect honesty, encouragement, compassion, and probably a few laughs along the way. I believe meaningful progress happens when you feel safe enough to be vulnerable while also being willing to do the work.
My hope is that therapy becomes a place where you can feel supported, gain confidence, develop healthier coping skills, and learn to navigate life with a little more grace and self-compassion.
You don’t have to do it perfectly. You just have to be willing to start.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Ridgeland
Searching for therapists in Ridgeland starts with finding someone whose training matches what you want support with. People often look for therapy for concerns like anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, stress, trauma, or life transitions. As you compare therapists, review their listed specialties and approach to care. Some therapists may focus on cognitive behavioral therapy, trauma-informed care, family therapy, or other methods that can help you understand whether their style fits your needs.
In a smaller city like Ridgeland, the number of local in-person therapists may be more limited than in larger metro areas. Looking at nearby areas like Madison and Flowood can expand your options, and virtual therapy can give you access to more Mississippi-licensed therapists from home. Before booking, consider appointment availability, whether the therapist is accepting new patients, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. Reading therapist bios can also help you compare communication style, areas of focus, and what to expect in a first session.
Therapy in Ridgeland can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Headway helps you find therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, verify your benefits, and see your estimated cost before booking. You can browse therapists in Ridgeland, review profiles, and book directly when you’re ready.
If anyone in your family is experiencing or worried about abuse, threats, or coercion, joint family or couples therapy usually isn't the right starting point — individual support is safer. The Childhelp National Child Abuse Hotline (1-800-422-4453) and National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.
