Obsessive-Compulsive (OCD) Therapists in Natchez, MS

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.

My office is private and aesthetically warm and comfortable, a place where you can feel safe and unconditionally accepted.

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.

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.

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.

"I just don't know what else to do." "I'm at the end of my rope with this. I've tried everything!" "I'm not sure how much longer we're gonna be able to make it..."

It is my desire to work with individuals and families to create lasting change in their lives. As one gains an understanding of their past, the experiences that have shaped them, and their responses to those situations, we can find a new path forward. We cannot move forward until we know where we have been on the journey of life. Through exploration, one can experience being known in a therapeutic context, thus learning the skills necessary to be known by those in our lives.
