Life Coaching Therapists in Ridgeland, MS

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.

You do not have to be alone when life becomes challenging or feels overwhelming. The warmth and support of a skilled therapist can be invaluable when you find yourself in a difficult place. As a therapist I strive to create an environment where my clients feel that each and every part of them is welcome to show up and will be supported and valued.

Is life feeling heavy? Are you in a dark place? Life events can have a major impact on us as humans. Depression, anxiety, trauma, substance abuse, self-harm, suicidal thoughts, identity struggles, and much more can be results of these events. Most importantly, we want to make sense of these things and why this is happening to us. What comes next is the need for a safe, warm, and nonjudgmental space to share these struggles with another human. This type of environment can help you discover many things about the dark that can bring light to your story. You just want to feel better.

Being unable to meet our goals is disappointing. Not knowing why is devastating. We seek answers on the outside and look to others for the "right" and the "wrong" of the situation, but everyone is different. Everyone has different approaches, and everyone has inner resources.

Whether your issue is related to connection, depression, anxiety, or other life stressors, I am here to listen, to see you, and to understand. I am here to help.
