I focus on helping individuals through grief and loss, anxiety, depression, anger, and physical stress. My passion is helping patients move from a place of despair to optimism. My ability to help others comes from personal life experience, formal and informal education and the desire to help. I use researched based therapeutic methods to strengthen and empower you to be able to problem solve and face challenges independently. I will not promise you a cure. I will promise to work with you until you reach a place of peace and calm. If that is what you are looking for, I would love to meet you.

When a child has been through more than they should, or when a family is navigating trauma, foster care, or adoption, the right support changes everything. I work with children, adolescents, adults, and families dealing with PTSD, trauma, anxiety, depression, and the weight of whatever life has handed them, including the complex emotions that come with foster care and adoption experiences.

With more than a 10 years in mental health, I believe you are the expert on your own life. My role is to walk beside you as a guide and support as you build on your strengths and work toward the future you envision.

You've Been Strong for Everyone Else-Now It's Your Turn

For the past 18 years, I've worked with adults who are carrying more than most people around them know. If you're the one everyone leans on, the high-achiever who looks put-together on the outside while feeling overwhelmed on the inside, or someone who has been strong for so long you've forgotten what it feels like to just exhale, you're in the right place.

As a Black therapist, I bring both clinical training and lived understanding to this work. Whether you're navigating anxiety that won't quiet, grief that hasn't had space, a relationship that's draining you, or a life transition that has left you feeling stuck, you don't have to have it figured out before you begin.

Wherever you're starting from, meaningful support is available, and you deserve to be the one receiving it for a change.

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.

Find the right therapist for you

Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Mississippi

Searching for therapists in Mississippi is easier when you start with the kind of support you want. Across the state, your options may vary between larger areas and more rural communities, so it helps to look for a therapist whose training and listed specialties match your needs. You might want support with anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, or life transitions. As you compare therapists, review their bios for details about their approach, such as cognitive behavioral therapy, trauma-informed care, or family therapy.

Location and schedule matter, especially when comparing therapists across Mississippi. If you live near Jackson, Gulfport, Oxford, or a smaller community, you may want to decide whether in-person sessions, virtual appointments, or both fit your routine. You can also narrow your search by appointment availability, whether a therapist is accepting new clients, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. Reading profiles before booking can help you understand how each therapist describes their communication style, session structure, and areas of focus.

The cost of therapy in Mississippi can vary, and using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Headway helps you search for licensed therapists who are accepting new clients, enter your insurance details, and see an estimated out-of-pocket cost before you book. Nationally, Headway works with over 100 insurance plans, so you can browse therapists, review bios, 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.

1 Cost may vary based on your location, age, and insurance coverage.
