As a health care provider, patient advocacy has been the cornerstone of my practice. I am a highly self-sufficient professional, confident in my ability to independently manage and resolve a wide range of common challenges and unpredictable situations in healthcare. As a doctorial prepared nurse practitioner, I've had the opportunity to build tools to support providers with improving the accuracy of their diagnoses. My autonomous background has provided me with a proven record in treating Mood Disorders, Eating Disorders, Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, Women's Health related psychiatric disorders, Body Dysmorphia, as well as Sleep Disorders. Working within a diverse population including rural health has prepared me to serve and cater to the complexity and challenges faced by my clients, across all ages. In my spare time outside of the office, I enjoy reading, exercise, traveling, and playing with my puppy.

Therapist

Virtual • Mississippi


I am a licensed therapist with a Doctorate in Professional Counseling from Mississippi College and nearly 15 years of experience supporting individuals, families, children, and adolescents in both individual and group therapy settings. Over the course of my career, I have had the privilege of sitting with people through some of their most difficult and transformative moments, and I bring empathy, patience, and genuine care to every session.

My clinical experience includes working with anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship difficulties, and behavioral health concerns across a wide variety of ages, backgrounds, and life circumstances. Two populations are especially close to my heart: children and adolescents experiencing behavioral or emotional challenges, and women healing from trauma. I understand how overwhelming these experiences can feel, and I am deeply committed to helping clients reclaim their strength, find hope, and move toward healing. I believe healing is possible for everyone, and I consider it an honor to be trusted as part of that journey.

I’m a person-centered therapist with more than ten years of experience helping people navigate grief, anxiety, depression, addiction, relationship struggles, family conflict, heartbreak, abuse, and trauma. I work with a broad range of clients and bring specialized training in EMDR and trauma-focused care to my practice. I know what it is to struggle, and I believe healing begins when you no longer have to face that struggle alone. My role is to meet you where you are, help you imagine where you want to be, and walk alongside you as you find the courage to get there.

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.
