Sometimes the first step is the most difficult one to take. I offer a safe, calm, non-judgmental space for clients to be seen, heard, and to explore their struggles. I have over 20 years experience in the field of social work, working with diverse populations. I am licensed in Mississippi and Tennessee. I have experience working with individuals dealing with depression, anxiety, panic attacks, chronic illness and loss of independence, infertility, adoption, divorce recovery, autism, adhd, suicide of a loved one, grief and loss, insecure attachment styles, trauma, and child abuse/neglect.

One of my greatest passions involves helping people through various transitions of life. I offer therapy for Grief, Loss, Substance Use Disorders, Trauma, Behavioral Addictions, and Spiritual Direction. I believe our mental health is intricately connected to our emotional and spiritual well-being. There are times we find ourselves choosing unhealthy coping tools to redirect self-defeating, self-loathing, and self-sabotaging thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Through a multi-disciplined approach I'll help you identify those negative thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and reconnect to the emotions you've grown numb to.

This is what I believe, love God and love people and people today are indescribably busy. Busy with family, work, social schedules, social media...just keeping up with life and with all that there is little time for the individual who is often left exhausted, feeling lonely, isolated perhaps unseen. To me, loving people means meeting them where they are so they can be seen and heard. Also, I am a retired law enforcement officer of 25 years and as such I understand the unique needs of first responders, and have experience working with emergency services personnel and family members of emergency responders.

Children and youth sometimes have much more difficulty expressing their feelings in an appropriate way in than adults. It is difficult to watch your child suffer with anxiety, depression, stress, or any variety of situations that impact daily living. Children and youth may not have learned how to express emotions due to varying reasons. The goal is to improve coping skills, confidence, and the ability for all children and adolescents to navigate big emotions and difficult emotions in a healthy manner.

Do you feel stuck? Maybe you feel scared and hopeless. Perhaps you're a parent, whose daughter is depressed and cutting herself. Perhaps you're personally dealing with depression that makes each day heavy, and/or anxiety that makes each moment a battle. I understand what it's like to be in those moments, wondering if things can ever get better. I understand how, as a parent, you're afraid for you daughter and wondering how to help. You probably are wondering if I can even help you. The good news is: there is hope. And we can work together to find it.

I work with clients that present with a variety of issues - depression, anxiety, addiction - often stemming from underlying issues with codependency, low self-worth, family of origin issues, and unresolved trauma. I see individuals, couples, and adolescents. If appropriate, I like working with clients in a group setting where peer support and identification with others help clients feel less misunderstood, alone or different.

I have personally then professionally been in the counseling office since the age of 14. My experiences on the couch and in the chair are the greatest gifts of my life.
