Life is incredible, but it is not without challenges. I help distant couples, frustrated kids and parents, and families dealing with life's challenges.

As a motivated and dedicated clinician with nearly 10 years of experience, I have been privileged to work alongside individuals as they navigate their unique journey toward healing. I firmly believe that our role as clinicians is not to "fix" problems, but rather to be a guiding light in the darkness, providing support and companionship to those who are struggling. I see my work as a partnership, where I help individuals uncover there strengths and find their own paths to recovery.

I enjoy working with individuals from all backgrounds. I always learn more about others as well as myself from each client I meet which I value as an amazing opportunity. I've never met a client who didn't cause change and personal growth in myself after meeting them. I have experience working with LGBT+ persons, college-aged students, substance abuse/addiction clients, and individuals with co-occurring mental health disorders, such as anxiety and depression. I use a Person-Centered approach alongside mindfulness/meditation and cognitive-behavioral techniques to facilitate personal growth and healing.

I especially enjoy working with are those who have had no prior counseling experience or who have had negative experiences in counseling settings; I value the time it takes to build the foundation for a trusting and safe relationship.

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.

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.

Feeling stuck, overwhelmed, anxious, or unsure where to turn? You’re not alone. If self-doubt, perfectionism, unresolved trauma, or painful relationship patterns hold you back, therapy can help you feel grounded, connected, and confident.
Together, we’ll create a safe, non-judgmental space defined by integrity, respect, and genuine care. I blend evidence-based practices like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and trauma-informed techniques with a clear, goal-oriented, and occasionally lighthearted style.
You’ll learn practical skills to manage distress so that you won’t need me forever.

Being heard is one of the most important components to healing. As a doctoral student in a trauma-focused program and trained as an EMDR and TF-CBT therapist, I respect the role trauma plays and is specialized in trauma work to help children, teens, and adults understand and heal. As a therapist, mom, and human, I have seen the benefits of allowing space for healing. When individuals are provided this opportunity, change and wellness takes place. Self-esteem, decision making, and relationships are no longer derived from brokenness but rather from a place of newfound wholeness.
