Attachment-based Therapists in Southaven, MS

Life-changing events are happening everyday of our life whether good or bad. I believe there are three fundamentals that are necessary in achieving mental healthiness. They are self-love, purpose, and value; without these attributes this could bring about some form of mental discord. I specialize in working with people who are striving to live a more meaningful life consisting of internal healing. I treat individuals who struggle with anger, depression, PTSD, self-esteem, trauma, other everyday life issues, and interpersonal concerns. Clients are unique individuals with different needs. Therefore, you are the expert of yourself.

There are times life becomes difficult. Obstacles present themselves and you just need guidance on how to overcome or cope with them. Situations may cause you to feel as if there has been a loss of control of your life.

There are times in life when the grips of despair, brokenness, and shame tear us down. When hardship, loss, conflict, and confusion disconnect us from ourselves and others.

We know we need help, we need change, we need health; but we have no idea what to do or where to find it. Finding trusted support during these seasons of life can be difficult, but the reward for facing these struggles can be immense.
