Therapists in Philadelphia, MS

My focus is to build a space that brings trust, understanding and compassion into the counselor/client relationship. I utilize a variety of counseling approaches. I have experience working with clients of all ages and in all seasons of life. I believe that growth and healing are possible for anyone who is willing to pursue change.

With so many challenges facing us today, it can be overwhelming, even downright frightening, attempting to manage our emotions or life’s challenges – often both. Working through adversity helps us to discover who we are authentically and places us on a path of understanding and growth. The path can seem lonely and confusing, but I am here to assist. My ideal client is someone who has made a commitment to themselves to face their uniqueness, their circumstances, and their challenges with a new perspective.

In life we all encounter positive and negative events that can lead to emotional distress. These events have the ability to impair our daily and cognitive functioning. Therapy provides a platform to help you process your feelings and emotions related to the stressful event. If you are experiencing difficulties related to stress, loss, divorce, life transitions, relationships, parenting, medical, and mental health, therapy will help you find positive coping strategies to help you cope and improve your emotional wellness. My goal is to help you find fortitude during your difficult moments.

Life is full of challenges, and for many the help of an outside professional perspective is needed. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over a decade of experience working with adults, children, and families in a variety of settings.

I utilize a strengths-based, person-centered approach to therapy while incorporating a blend of research-based techniques.

Living life on this side of Heaven means enduring hardship and suffering. I believe that the therapeutic process is one that can bring great healing as we all walk through our own life's valleys. As a therapist, I utilize an integrative approach that combines my Christian beliefs with researched-based counseling practices. I strive to create a safe environment for clients that places a high emphasis on the therapeutic relationship and the client's own worth as an image-bearer of Christ.

We all have an intrinsic knowing – what we want for our life, what is working, what is not – but sometimes it is difficult to see, feel, and recognize it. That is where therapy can help. Consider me your guide. I will work alongside you as we chart a path to find your authentic life – your true self. With expanded awareness, it is possible to not only see but to also act on the things in your life that you want to, and can change. But it takes time and a safe space to share and be present with your vulnerabilities.
