Therapists in Jackson, MS

Accepting New Clients! Most of us need help at one time or another in our lives. Asking for help is not always easy. However, it is always important to realize our own limitations and allow ourselves to feel better. Therapy is for everyone, whether you’ve experienced trauma, want to learn skills to better your relationships, or regulate your own emotions and reactions. As your therapist, I will meet you exactly where you are without judgment. I will provide a safe and empathic place where you are able to explore and deepen your connection to yourself, as well as building and strengthening your connection with others.

I have worked in the field of Counseling for 30 years, almost 20 of those with my LPC. I am a Christian and believe that helps me reach out to everyone I have worked with including troubled teenagers, Federal Bureau of Prison inmates, Buddhist and Muslims. I am certified in Reality Therapy and practice Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in general. I do believe that being Spiritual helps us all to deal with the problems and triumphs of our lives as we see the significance of the small and the great in every minute.

Sometimes in life we can get stuck and need a little help getting back on track. My goal is to help you work on the issues you've identified as being what gets in the way of your life being the way you want it to be. Whether you are struggling with depression, anxiety, family/relational issues, or addictive issues, I am here to help. I continually work to expand competencies in the issues above plus men's issues in the 21st Century.

Has life thrown you a curve ball? Have you found yourself in a slump that you can't seem to get out of? Are you having panic attacks and you don't know why? Do you have a broken heart? If you are struggling and needing help, there is hope and you have come to the right place. Whether it's anxiety, depression, addiction, divorce or other relationship issues, grief, illness or another problem area of your life, I would love to walk beside you and work with you until you are where you'd like to be.

My ideal client would be someone who is motivated to make changes in their way of living to increase their quality of life. Maybe they have depression, anxiety, work issues, trouble building and maintaining healthy relationships, or struggle to manage their anger. They have recognized a need for change and are open to therapy. This client would be receptive to evidence based practices and willing to step of their comfort zone when it comes to looking into themselves and their history.

My goal is to provide you with comfort, trust, and empowerment through education on ways you can improve your quality of life by dealing with depression, anxiety, relationship conflict, or personal issues, etc. Coming to therapy can be challenging, so let me help you. The client-therapist relationship is very important in this process and one that begins at first contact. Though I practice at a Christian counseling center, religion and/or faith will not be a topic of discussion unless you initiate it. I'd be glad to hear from you.
