Therapists in Diamondhead, MS

There is no handbook for life and you’re doing the best you can. Sometimes you just need a helping hand. I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor with 16 years of experience who would love to help you develop the skills and confidence to live your best life.

The scope of my therapy practice is based on the belief that children are growing, developing individuals who at times need assistance beyond their families and school structures to develop emotional and social skills, self confidence, and coping skills to handle stressors. Children are often more open than adults to change and I absolutely love getting to see them transform and grow. I work with children and adolescents ages 4 to 18.

At Mind Works, we specialize in the assessment and treatment of child and adult mental health struggles in a safe environment. We offer therapeutic counseling with clinicians who specialize in treating childhood and adult problems. We also provide a full range of psychological testing for both children and adults. From academic to mental/behavioral health problems, our customized assessments will help identify your strengths and deficit areas in order to identify an appropriate mental health diagnosis. Whether therapy and/or assessment, the clinicians at Mind Works can help you live the life you've imagined.

We all deal with the uncertainties in life. I work with children/adolescents, families, and adults that are dealing with a wide range of issues including, but not limited to, anger, school, and family conflict. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and Board Certified-Telemental Health provider with 10+ years of clinical experience that can help you reach your individual goals. Let me help you begin your journey to healing. I utilize cognitive behavioral therapy, solution-focused brief therapy, motivational interviewing, and trauma focused therapy to help clients improve their mood and achieve their goals.

I have successfully helped children, teens, adults and families who have endured traumatic experiences, behavioral/anger issues or school/job issues. I also have helped individuals currently experiencing emotional pain such as anxiety/depression, hopelessness, self harming behaviors. It is my belief that people have the innate potential to free themselves of emotional difficulties. My goal is to provide the necessary tools and teach skills needed to overcome emotional difficulties and develop meaningful relationships with family and friends.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 7 years of experience in the field of social work & mental health. I currently possess a Bachelor's & Master's Degree in Social Work. I have worked within a variety of settings (hospitals, Military, non-profit, Child Protective Services, in-home community services) with diverse individuals & populations that have provided me with valuable experiences. My goal is to provide high quality clinical care, which will be tailored specifically to meet your individual needs. I strive to provide a safe, nurturing environment to promote overall healing & my knowledge in Clinical Social Work is current & comprehensive.

We hear "Life is Short" however, life can seem very long when you and your loved ones are struggling with life's challenges. Clients dealing with relationship issues, grief, mental health, developmental delays, behavioral problems, parenting issues, divorce, and more, may benefit by working collaboratively with a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist.

Counseling is an ideal conduit for God to bring hope and restoration into our lives. With my years of experience working with families, children, and individuals, I believe that God has equipped me with many tools to facilitate a trusting and safe environment for healing to begin. Amid confusion, my desire is to help you distinguish God’s voice of truth and reason.

Balanced Living Counseling Services has providers ready to schedule your appointment within 2-3 days, so you are not staying with your pain for weeks and months. We help you overcome anxiety, panic attacks, stress, depression, grief, relationship problems, or family problems fast.

Welcome! I'm glad that you're here! Do you wish that you had more peace in your life? Do you struggle with depression, anxiety or past trauma? If so, I can help. When experiencing challenges people need to be heard, validated, supported, empowered, and encouraged. Therapy can be the supportive space needed for you to not only explore the root of your feelings and experiences, but also to brainstorm what next steps you can take to gain insight, work through challenges, and foster a meaningful, fulfilling, and joyful life. Whether for you, your child, or adolescent, my focus is to meet you where you are and to listen.

We are all broken, that is how the light gets in.

Are you overwhelmed with navigating through life's obstacles? Are you in a toxic relationship, experiencing depression, and/or anxiety? Is your child having behavioral problems at home or school? As a licensed therapist, I provide a warm, caring, and non-judgmental atmosphere that allows youth and adults to access skills to reach their personal and familial/parental goals.
