Eccl. 3:1 "For everything there is a season..." . Each season of life has it's own unique challenges and issues, my goal is to help people navigate these challenges in a way that reflects their personal values. My Christian faith shapes my worldview however I recognize that not everyone shares that same faith experience. My desire is to empower you to have the skills you need to navigate life in all it's seasons.

Have you found yourself dealing with experiences, thoughts, or emotions that feel out of control or overwhelming? Life is messy on this side of Heaven and you do not have to go through it alone. I believe we were created to be in connection with other people but often our experiences and unhealthy relationships have made that difficult. The support and connection from a skilled therapist can be invaluable when you find yourself in those broken moments. It is my hope that for at least one hour each week, you can come, sip on some coffee or tea and not feel like you have to fix everything on your own.

If you find yourself here, I encourage you to reach out to me via email. You may be surprised to find that even if you are not experiencing a “crisis” or a difficult time in your life, therapy is a great way to learn more about yourself, improve your outlook, strengthen relationships, or gain career guidance. Everyone benefits from therapy. Having the pleasure of working in this field for over 15 years, I pride myself on taking an experiential approach to therapy, as each person is unique in his or her own way. Taking a “one size fits all” approach is not effective. I look forward to helping you on an effective therapeutic journey.

My vision & purpose is to provide you with the resources necessary to heal yourself, transform your life, and grow both personally and spiritually. I offer integrative healing services that move beyond traditional therapies toward holistic healing and personal transformation. I love to work with clients who want to be challenged, those who are looking for more than the traditional, and those who are ready to do the deep dive within to find their Best Self. If you are seeking "coping" with life's challenges, I am not for you. If you are seeking true healing that moves you into your dream life....let's chat!

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor, specializing in helping those who struggle with anxiety, obsessive compulsive disorder, depression, and trauma. I have a Master's Degree from The University of Mississippi in Counselor Education with a focus on Community Mental Health Counseling, and received my Bachelor's Degree in History from Mississippi State University. Outside of the counseling setting I enjoy exercising, baking, and spending time with my family as well as my dogs.

If you have found yourself here then you might be looking to grow, heal, or find a way to live a more fulfilled life. Let me just say, life can seem hard at times. We all face experiences and challenges in our lives that make us take a closer look into ourselves. Through that, we may discover more of who we are. If there is one thing that I have learned in this life, it is that we are in it together. We are learning together. We are growing together.

As a psychodramatist, I meet each client where they are, taking care not to impose my values or beliefs on them. I believe every client has answers that are hidden away and my job is to help them find or create what is best for them . Most people come to me with fear and my responsibility is to create an atmosphere of safety.

Whether going through life challenges, relationship struggles, or just finding yourself "stuck," one of the best things to help is to invest in yourself. Would you be willing to let someone come alongside you who is trained to listen more deeply, look at things that you may or may not have considered, and provide a safe place to be brave? Making life changes can be hard, difficult, and challenging but you do not have to go at it alone. Let someone come alongside you who wants nothing more for you than your absolute best!

It takes courage to seek help, especially to reach out to someone you don't know. Whether you are struggling with depression, anxiety, or relationship issues, my goal is for you to feel supported and respected as we work together to improve your quality of life. Together, we will identify your issues, create a plan, and work towards a better you.

Life isn’t always the easiest thing to do. Sometimes we get overwhelmed by situations, people, or even our own thoughts and feelings. The good news is, we’re all in this together—you’re not alone! Whether you'e struggling with relationships, identity, spirituality, or mental health issues, it can be helpful and even freeing to have someone to confide in.

I have worked with children and families for over 40 years. My goal in life has been to make a difference in the life of a child, helping them to feel good about themselves and teaching them skills to cope with whatever circumstances have led to their emotional or behavioral problems. I also strongly believe in working closely with the parents of the children I work with, helping them to understand and accept what is happening with their child and providing them with support and skills to interact with their child in positive and productive ways. Making a commitment to therapy can result in children that are happy and successful.

"There are two primary choices in life: to accept conditions as they exist, or accept the responsibility for changing them."- Denis Waitley. Change gets a jump start in a supportive environment. I believe with understanding, acceptance and commitment an individual thrives. Counseling encourages these things and more.
