Obsessive-Compulsive (OCD) Therapists in Greenwood, MS

We all want to be heard, accepted, loved, and understood regardless of the issues or life circumstances we are facing. Whether you struggle with anxiety/depression or you have a diagnosed disorder that causes impairment in your daily function, I can help with a renewed perspective, coping skills, and safe place to talk. My Mission statement is Restore, Renew, Refresh. Ephesians 6:16 “In all circumstances take up the shield of faith...". Counseling is a process, not a one and done deal. Healing and growth require a person to work 100% of the time emotionally, mentally, and physically.

My goal is to walk alongside you as move toward positive change and growth in your life. Whether you are battling depression or anxiety, are in the midst of a difficult relationship, or are adjusting to difficult circumstances, you can feel at ease with me. I am nonjudgmental and find it a privilege to join you in your journey as you set goals and process the issue at hand. My office is private and aesthetically warm and comfortable, a place where you can feel safe and unconditionally accepted.

Our counseling philosophy is based on solution focused theory whereby we help individuals and families identify stressors which may lead to anxiety, depression, or behavioral issues and guide development of coping skills to problem solve. We find that learning to communicate with others in an assertive, non-aggressive manner facilitates creating a foundation for loving, supportive relationships. Although most sessions focus on a narrative, conversational approach, we often incorporate art therapy/play therapy in working with clients of all ages. Our clients are self-motivated individuals/families committed to improving their lives.

Are you feeling stuck in a cycle of anxiety, guilt, shame, or low self-esteem? Do you have past or present hurts that you would like to heal? Are there relationships in your life that feel draining and exhausting? Do you have broken relationships that you would like to mend? Everyone comes across challenges in life that can leave them feeling overwhelmed, confused, and hurt. I believe through collaboration with a compassionate counselor you can heal wounds, experience peace, feel more confident, and repair broken relationships.

I have experience working with teens, preteens, and adults facing a variety of challenges, including anxiety, problems at school, behavior problems, relationship issues, friendship struggles, and substance abuse. I have specialty training in the treatment of Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder using Exposure-Response Prevention (ERP). I am passionate about the benefits of ERP and how well it can help people overcome anxiety. I believe in the value of psychotherapy and understand that everyone is different. I tailor each therapy session to each individual client's needs.

Many of our struggles are due to overthinking. We overthink and fail to act in line with what we really care about. Instead, we engage in repeated behaviors that feel inevitable or irresistible. We overthink relationships, parenting, body sensations, the meaning of life, our fear of germs or illness, our faith, our fate, our fear that we will harm or be harmed, and we rehearse our arguments and resentments. If this is you, you are not alone. The root cause is a little different for everyone. The good news is that you can stop overthinking and start living. You can gain control over that loop of thoughts and behaviors.

You may be considering therapy because you feel stuck in painful emotions or circumstances and aren’t sure how to try something new or even know what to try. As a therapist with over 20 years of experience helping individuals and families, I can help you to develop a clear vision of how you would like to move forward in your life, identifying barriers that may interfere with your goals, and building skills to connect you with your strengths so you can make steps in a positive direction.

Reaching out for help requires vulnerability and courage. To honor that, I both (1) strive to foster a nonjudgmental, collaborative atmosphere where you feel comfortable sharing at your own pace and (2) ensure that our work together is grounded in empirical evidence. I consider it a privilege to hear about people’s lives and be a part of their journeys. I have witnessed the significant pain that attends mental health issues and so have a great deal of compassion for individuals who are struggling. I firmly believe that people can find more peace and meaning in their lives and move toward their aspirations.
