I believe that every person has within them the capacity for change and healing. I focus on using a person-centered approach to therapy, to help each individual find their unique path to healing and growth. My goal is to create a calm, safe environment in which you can feel comfortable being yourself, and uncovering your own personal strengths. I strive to be a supportive listener to help people improve their lives through better understanding of themselves, and stronger coping skills.
I currently hold licenses to treat clients living in Mississippi and Utah.
My therapeutic style is warm, open and informal. I utilize an integrative approach to meet each client's unique needs including concepts from mindfulness based CBT, psychodynamic/attachment theory. I help clients with a wide variety of issues including depression, anxiety/fears, grief, low self-esteem, addictions, and trauma. I am certified in EMDR.
I work with people of all ages, sexual orientations, and backgrounds. I have experience with family counseling and working with couples using The Gottman Method. Please call or email me. I am happy to discuss how I can help you or your family address your concerns.
