Domestic Abuse Therapists in Madison County, MS

I am a Blue Cross Blue Shield provider. One thing I've learned both by counseling others and being counseled is that we cannot shame ourselves into the person we want to be. I believe if we approach ourselves with curiosity, compassion, and gentleness, we will be surprised at what we will learn, what we can accomplish, and how we can heal. I also believe in the connective power of humor and storytelling within the therapeutic environment. I commonly work with clients dealing with: abuse, trust and betrayal, communication breakdowns, complicated family dynamics, grief, shame, anxiety, depression, and PTSD.

We all have an intrinsic knowing – what we want for our life, what is working, what is not – but sometimes it is difficult to see, feel, and recognize it. That is where therapy can help. Consider me your guide. I will work alongside you as we chart a path to find your authentic life – your true self. With expanded awareness, it is possible to not only see but to also act on the things in your life that you want to, and can change. But it takes time and a safe space to share and be present with your vulnerabilities.

Is depression hurting the quality of your life? Depression is a serious medical condition. It is not a sign of weakness nor the result of a personality defect. Depression not only affects your life, but also your entire family. Depression is used to describe a wide range of emotional problems. One-time periods may last for days or weeks while chronic periods can last for years. Chronic depression is different from the "blues". The blues are an unpleasant reaction to a sad event. Individuals may feel bad temporarily, but bounce back to their normal emotional state.
