Therapists in Jackson, MS

Times are scary right now, but mental relief can be found. I can help you recoup, regroup, and revive in a calm, serene, nonjudgmental environment. The understanding and validity from another can make all the difference to help you recover, grow and excel in life. Let me be that person for you. After hours appointments are available.

I believe that you are the expert of your own life. I feel that I am simply the guide on the journey to help clarify the forks in the road. It is you who must have the courage and strength to then walk that road. It is then my job to assist in building, supporting, and unearthing the courage and strength that is already there. I have extensive experience working with children, adolescents, young adults, and adults. I am very passionate about helping individuals improve their quality of life through support, insight driven, evidence based, and patient paced therapy.

Are you having a difficult time handling the struggles in your life? Could you use an expert opinion on what you’re going through, or a non-judgmental ear just to listen? If you’ve been feeling hopeless or lost, or struggling with a problem that feels unsurmountable, individual therapy can help. I enjoy working with clients who are managing health and medical concerns, such as disordered eating/body image concerns, cancer and/or autoimmune diseases. I also appreciate helping people undergo the process of adapting to a loss, or other major life transitions.

My experience is diversified with a wide variety of populations and settings including adults with chronic illnesses in hospitals, homeless children and their families, and expecting and postpartum mothers in an outpatient women’s health clinic. I have a colorful resume that has deeply influenced my ability to connect and relate to my clients that present with a multitude of backgrounds and dilemmas such as depression, anxiety, ADHD, mood disorders, bereavement, and trauma. My ideal client is someone who is motivated and receptive to change and eager to work together to improve their circumstances.

There are times in life when we all hit a bump in the road. Death, divorce, grief, relationship challenges and unresolved emotional wounds can all leave us feeling lost, broken and empty. When things become out of control, the guided support of a trained therapist can help. We may not always be able to control the hardships in life but I believe that the power within us is always available. At Miracle Counseling Services, LLC, it is my hope to empower you to tap into your personal power, heal past wounds, find inner peace, and regain control over your life through healthy awareness and change

At our points of life, it is when we just need someone to gives us a hand to help us through it. I am here to help you through it.

I want to be there to help you through the lows and I want to be there to celebrate your highs and success as we work together.

I provide individual therapy and family therapy for children, adolescents, and adults related to trauma, abuse/neglect, anxiety, eating disorders/concerns, adjustment to medical diagnoses and grief/loss. I also provide a specialty practice for women and couples regarding infertility and postpartum mood/anxiety concerns.

I believe therapy is a tool that can empower people to tell their story, understand themselves, and make a difference in their lives.

Need a change? Ready to do something different? My passion is helping individuals navigate through difficult times in life, while discovering the best version of themselves. I offer client-centered, solution-focused therapy in a non-judgmental environment. Sometimes in life we just don't know what to do or where to turn. We need a safe space to feel seen & heard.

As an LCSW, I work from a strengths-based perspective. I strongly believe in the social work ideal of unconditional positive regard and the potential in every person to learn and grow at any stage in life. I work with a variety of therapeutic models-including Mindful Self-Compassion, CBT, IFS, and EMDR-to help my clients achieve their goals and live healthier lives.

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 .

My goal is to walk alongside you as move toward positive change and growth in your life. Whether you are battling depression or anxiety, are in the midst of a difficult relationship, or are adjusting to difficult circumstances, you can feel at ease with me. I am nonjudgmental and find it a privilege to join you in your journey as you set goals and process the issue at hand. My office is private and aesthetically warm and comfortable, a place where you can feel safe and unconditionally accepted.

If you feel trapped in behaviors, relationships, or situations beyond your control, I can help. I am uniquely qualified to help you with dysfunctional relationships, anxiety, codependence, substance use disorder, behavior addictions such as eating disorders and sexual compulsivity, trauma, and the emotional dysregulation that results from cognitive distortion. My clients struggle with low self worth and lack of self-acceptance, feelings of loss of control and loneliness. I help them realize their worth as fully-functioning, multi-dimensional human beings.

Life is hard. And when we feel isolated and alone it can feel unbearable. We don't have to endure life feeling lost or alone. We were created for connection and relationships, with others and ourselves. Painful experiences, trauma, unhealthy relationships, shame, grief, etc, can create barriers that keep us from experiencing the very things that we deeply long to experience. Being vulnerable and sharing these experiences is scary, especially when we find it hard to trust. I understand this fear, and I personally know being vulnerable is one of the most courageous things we can do, and a necessary avenue to experience healing.

By providing a client-centered approach to therapy, I hope to bring safety and warmth to the therapy room. I utilize an integrated approach that synthesizes my Christian values with research-based practices in order to give the very best care unique to each individual. I am committed to providing a non-judgmental atmosphere where you can be truly heard and understood. My desire is to work together collaboratively as a team with you, providing acceptance and support.
