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 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.
