My experiences and strengths: group therapy, substance use and co-occurring disorders, trauma, men’s issues, depression, mood disorders like bipolar disorder, anxiety disorders, biblical/faith-based counseling, career/life changes, & anger management. My approach is integrative; however, I use and apply the theoretical approach that best suits you, the person. With that said, everything and anything I have and utilize, starts and ends with the gracious empowerment of a biblically based approach: an inside/outside job. Without The Lord leading & guiding me, I can do nothing. One of my mottos: “If it causes a problem, it IS a problem.

Whether you’ve tried therapy before or this is your first time, the process of choosing a therapist and getting started can feel overwhelming. It’s daunting, but important, as I believe the fit between client and therapist is one of the most important parts of treatment. I look at therapy as a partnership and try to adapt my therapeutic approach to each client’s unique needs. My goal is to create a safe space where you feel both validated and challenged. Everyone should have an environment where they feel comfortable discussing their thoughts and processing their emotions free of any judgment.

Partner 1: "I reach for you, but it feels like you’re already gone. I’m left wondering if I matter to you at all." Partner 2: "When you come close, I feel the pressure to be perfect. I can’t get it right, so I pull back to protect us both." These unspoken messages live under the surface in many relationships. One partner is aching for connection, the other is protecting against pain—both are lonely, both are longing, both are stuck. I help couples break free from this anxious–avoidant cycle so they can feel safe, seen, and deeply connected again.

Hi there, I'm Sally! I draw on evidence-based therapies to guide clients through life's transitions and uncertainties with compassion, practical skills, and clarity. Every therapeutic partnership is one-of-a-kind, but my approach often weaves in psychoeducation about the brain—exploring how it functions and harnesses neuroplasticity to rewire unhelpful patterns and habits—while inviting you to envision fresh paths forward.

Hi there! I work with clients of all ages who are tired of feeling stressed, worried, or sad. Together, we'll figure out how to make life better, whether it means processing how past experiences are affecting you, adjusting to more recent life changes, overcoming grief, dealing with low self-esteem/self-image, or figuring out how to handle complicated relationships. If you'd benefit from untangling the different aspects of what's happening to you or your child, so that we can find solutions and breathe freely again, I'd love to support you!

Life can be good, filled with highs and lows. However, when those lows hit, having therapeutic techniques at your disposal can help manage the most seemingly unmanageable difficulties. During my doctoral Internship in pediatric and adult behavioral health at Irby Psychological Services, LLC, in Southaven, MS, I specialized in comprehensive psychological testing of neurodevelopmental disorders and intellectual disabilities, as well as related comorbidities, in addition to behavior-based individual and family therapy.

Life seems to be going pretty well. Maybe you recently were accepted to college or started a new job or relationship, and yet something still feels "off." Perhaps you do have some trauma in your background but wonder if it's bad enough to warrant therapy. You are in the right place! I enjoy working with college students as they manage the many transitions and stresses of university. I also have experience working with people of all age groups, on issues relating to stress and anger management, anxiety, depression, and post-traumatic stress as well as LGBTQIA+ identified clients.
