I highly value the tremendous power of being heard, seen and cared for in a curious, compassionate, and non-judgmental manner. My work with children and youth, adults, couples, and families from a variety of backgrounds, has taught me the importance of creating a safe environment where humanness is valued, new skills can be learned, and confidence is reclaimed. My hope is to offer this safe space to all my clients.

Are you or your child experiencing life adjustments, relationship challenges, temporary setbacks, or maybe even the unthinkable? Practicing therapy allows me to help my clients cultivate resilience, build skills, enhance insight, and change behaviors after these experiences. I believe in creating a safe and supportive environment through the therapeutic process.

Our philosophy is empowerment of the individual and families through utilization of a holistic therapeutic approach which incorporates healing of the mind, body, and spirit. We believe that the key to most issues is learning how to communicate with others in an assertive, non-aggressive manner which facilitates creating a foundation for loving, supportive relationships. Although most sessions focus on a narrative, conversational approach, we often incorporate art therapy/play therapy, especially when working with children and adolescents. Our clients are self-motivated individuals/families committed to improving their lives.

I provide evidence-based psychological treatments for traumatic stress/PTSD, depression, anxiety, and insomnia. Treatments are provided using a Cognitive Behavioral or Interpersonal framework.

Symptoms and progress are reviewed regularly to ensure we are working efficiently and effectively. Please visit Behavioral-Integrity.com for more information.

As a Licensed Professional Counselor, I enjoy working with children, adolescents, families, and individuals and aim to help with healing beyond traditional counseling interventions but rather through experiential learning and human-animal interactions.

I have worked with all populations ranging from children to adults and in both outpatient and inpatient acute settings.

​When we first talk, my goal is to have you feel safe, valued, and well informed. I often meet people at their lowest points. I am honored to help find the answers and provide the tools they need to feel better quickly and have lasting relief.

As a Licensed Professional Counselor, I have spent my counseling career of twelve years working with children and families.

My life experiences and education make me uniquely qualified to help several types of clients with their potential needs. I see coaching as a form of preventative health care. I enjoy coaching youth and helping them to set goals for their future. I do offer tutoring to help with their organizational skills, study habits, how to test well, and more. I would love to guide those navigating divorce and to help them set positive goals around the often turbulent times during the divorce process. I also have a passion for helping survivors of domestic abuse and to be their partner on their personal journey to a new and fulfilling life.

As we travel this path through life, we encounter both internal and external challenges. Therefore, I meet the client where they are upon the first meeting. Each stage of life and each individual is unique. I take an eclectic approach to address my client’s needs for what I assess will be most effective and also comfortable. Therapy is a directed process to move forward to live life as optimally as possible .

I am a licensed professional counselor (LPC) in Mississippi with almost 13 years of experience in counseling. I have worked with clients of many diverse and multicultural dynamics and with many different areas of concern, to include, but not limited to: chemical and behavioral addictions (i.e. eating disorders, gambling, sex, internet, pornography, relationships, etc.) anxiety/stressor related issues, depression, OCD, mood disorders, relationship and family conflicts, and emotional dysregulation. I have specialty training in the treatment of physical/emotional trauma, which is often co-occurring with the other mentioned concerns.

My ideal client is someone who is willing to call and make an appointment. Each persons life story is different. I strive to work with clients to establish goals and objectives with the ultimate goal of working with them to help facilitate change and a healthier lifestyle. Each season of life brings new opportunities and challenges. I believe everyone is a lifetime learner and, at times, needs help in working through the different challenges of life.
