Grief Therapists in Oxford, MS

I am honored to be working with Wright Counseling Group here in Oxford. I have spent the past 22 years as a school counselor helping teenagers and elementary students, families, and staff. Counseling is my greatest joy and passion. I look forward to working with both adults and children in the therapeutic setting. I specialize in building resiliency, anxiety, depression, grief , anger management, relationship issues, and many other needs that clients bring to session. I am person centered, tailoring my work to prescriptively meet the needs of my clients. I incorporate mindfulness, art therapy, CBT, Gestalt, and attachment theory.

Are you ready to regain your strength, confidence, and restore your mind? I am here to assist you in overcoming the barriers that are keeping you from it. I believe all areas of self needs to be healthy. My role is to navigate and provide support to you while moving toward your goal and the peace you seek.

If you are reading this it is evident you are searching for solutions to life issues and challenges. As a therapist my primary goal is to provide clients with a safe and judgement free space where they feel free to express needs, desires, and concerns. I work closely with all clients to assist them in gaining the personal insight and self-awareness necessary to identify thought patterns, behavior patterns, and relationship patterns that consistently create difficulty and make change appear impossible. Change is never impossible or out of reach when clients have hope. Hope does not disappoint!

Life is about relationships: Couples, Marriage, Families, Friends, Co-Workers. However, broken promises, lost love, abandonment, endless conflict, lack of trust, addictions, loss of intimacy, anger and avoidance all create fear, pain, rejection and loneliness. You feel disconnected and are in search of acceptance, belonging, comfort and safety. Using specialized methods of counseling, we can help you avoid misunderstandings, improve communication, heal past hurts, understand one another better and strengthen the relationships that make life important.

Life is about Relationships: Couples, Marriage, Families, Friends, Co-Workers. However, broken promises, lost love, abandonment, endless conflict, lack of trust, addictions, loss of intimacy, anger and avoidance all create fear, pain, rejection and loneliness. You feel disconnected and are in search of acceptance, belonging, comfort and safety. It is scary to take that first step to seek help. From the moment you enter my office, you will have no doubt that your decision to seek help was the right one. The goal will be to create an atmosphere that makes you feel safe and comfortable enough to face what is troubling you.

One step at a time and before you know it, you’ll be doing the impossible! Meeting you where you are with full acceptance, non-judgement and compassion. Show me the way you see the world and how it’s been shaped by your life experience. If you see the sky as purple, I’m more interested in understanding why you see it that way, instead of convincing you to see it the way I do.

You may be considering therapy because you feel stuck in painful emotions or circumstances and aren’t sure how to try something new or even know what to try. As a therapist with over 20 years of experience helping individuals and families, I can help you to develop a clear vision of how you would like to move forward in your life, identifying barriers that may interfere with your goals, and building skills to connect you with your strengths so you can make steps in a positive direction.

I have worked with children, adolescents, and adults in a variety of practice settings over the past 20 years. My primary area of interest and training is working with children under the age of 10 dealing with issues of anxiety, depression, trauma, abuse, autism, developmental delay, divorce, grief , medical issues, behavioral problems, and more. I believe children have limitless potential for growth and they have an innate capacity for resiliency. I also believe that parents and primary caregivers play a critical role in a child's recovery and a joint approach to working with children is essential to healing.

Are you experiencing overwhelming anxiety? Do you have concerns about your self-concept or body image? I am a skilled therapist with 28 years of experience who specializes in anxiety and body image issues. I also assist individuals with stress, depression, coping with grief and loss , anger management, motivation, self esteem and other concerns. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. I will create a treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. Taking the first step to seeking a more fulfilling and happier life takes courage. I am here to support you in that process.

I'm so glad you're considering taking this next step. Life is challenging and often interrupted by stress, relationship challenges, and loss . We all crave a fulfilling life that is full of hope, connection, and meaning. Relationships with a spouse, partner, child, parent, siblings, roommates, and even co-workers are central to our emotional well-being. I have advanced training in EFT which focuses on creating connections. These close relationships often create a significant amount of stress, pain, and even loneliness, isolation and trauma. I also have advanced training in CPT trauma therapy to help people heal from trauma.

I love Mississippi and I love meeting the people who live here. I believe everyone has a story and I consider it an honor to be in a position to hear those stories. I come from a Christian perspective and the interventions I use are congruent with my beliefs and values. The primary interventions I use are from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Emotionally Focused Therapy, Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR), and other proven family therapy models. I do not impose my personal beliefs and values onto my clients. This process is about you, not me.
