I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in Mississippi. My experience in mental healthcare spans over 30 years. I was a school administrator for six years and a former law enforcement officer for 10 years. I work with clients with a wide range of concerns including but not limited to depression, anxiety, relationship issues, couples, parenting problems, career challenges, PTSD and ADHD. I am a compassionate counselor, but I believe in individual accountability. I am now offering coaching and counseling to narcissistic abuse survivors. Coaching is offered in all states and counseling is offered in Mississippi and Arizona.
My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, psychodynamic, solution-focused, reality, mindfulness, and interpersonal counseling. Areas of focus include anxiety, depression, stress, grief, family conflicts, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related issues, parenting issues, anger management, self esteem, communication, relationships, and ADHD.
I believe that each individual has their own unique needs, and treatment plans are designed that way. It takes courage to seek help; I see it as a source of strength not weakness. As you take this journey, I am here to support you.
