Women's Issues Therapists in Meridian, MS

Are you looking for someone to hold the space for you to express your deepest fears, concerns, and worries? Are you hoping to have someone walk alongside you through making decisions when anxiety often cripples that process? You deserve to do that in a judgment -free and completely confidential zone, and I am happy to provide that for you.

The decision to seek therapy is a life-changing choice. It shows you are ready to face unresolved pain OR issues that may have made you feel hopeless. Allowing yourself to be vulnerable will lead to new thinking and behavior patterns. I provide therapy to individuals, families, geriatric, small groups, LGBTQIA, and people of color struggling with historical trauma, PTSD, medical diagnosis, depressed moods, anxiety, grief, desiring personal growth, divorce, single parenting, blended families, break-ups, shame, and humiliation.

I believe in helping individuals discover their own strengths and truths about themselves in order to address any issues they are experiencing. Everyone has a desire to be loved and accepted as well as a need to discover their own purpose in life. This discovery often promotes motivation and goal setting to assist with growing deeper within oneself and relationally with others. I love to see clients set goals and then work to achieve them. There is such a feeling of accomplishment for a person when they finally carry out what they have been working towards.

"To be nobody but yourself in a world which is doing its best...to make you everybody else, means to fight the hardest battle any human being can fight, and never stop fighting." -E.E.Cummings. My greatest desire is to see you become your truest self in the middle of your most challenging circumstances and most difficult relationships. Allow me the privilege of entering into your story alongside of you, walking with you on this path of discovery.

You don't understand why your faith is not working for you. You are a Christian but yet you struggle with depression, anxiety, relationship problems and just getting through life. You feel guilty and ashamed that prayer and turning things over to God hasn't worked for you. Maybe you have been deeply hurt by others and can't seem to get past it. Or maybe things from your childhood are coming back to haunt you and you can't seem to find God in all of it. It doesn't make sense. You are just existing, going through the motions.

We all have an intrinsic knowing – what we want for our life, what is working, what is not – but sometimes it is difficult to see, feel, and recognize it. That is where therapy can help. Consider me your guide. I will work alongside you as we chart a path to find your authentic life – your true self. With expanded awareness, it is possible to not only see but to also act on the things in your life that you want to, and can change. But it takes time and a safe space to share and be present with your vulnerabilities.

Providing a safe space to share difficult life situations is a priority. It is important to feel heard and I am open to listening as well as providing tools that may assist in the journey.

Keeping up with the demands of life can be challenging and may seem simpler to put on a happy face and act as if everything is OK. Today you can take one step toward your healing process! You can expect a therapist who is passionate about empowering others to discover the strengths of their inner world and learn to live life to its fullest. My approach to therapy is client-centered and solution-focused.

Life is not perfect, but there are times when it is filled with too many hurts, disappointments, and setbacks. This could lead to stress, depression, anxiety, or low self-esteem. Trying to cope with these emotions on your own without support is challenging.

Are you sick and tired of being sick and tired? Are you tormented by the anxiety you feel and the thoughts that won’t stop? There is hope for peace and rest. There is hope for controlling your thoughts instead of them controlling you.

Are you feeling isolated by the very walls you built for protection? If so, you are not alone, and I am glad you are here. Past hurts can leave us feeling inadequate, questioning our self-worth, and struggling to develop meaningful relationships. Whether you are seeking healing or personal growth, I offer a supportive and non-judgmental space to collaboratively work towards your goals. Those who work with me find themselves increasing their ability to communicate their needs in relationships, feel more empowered, recognize they are valued and worthy, and better understand and respond to their emotions.

I am interested in you. I believe that every individual has the strength and endurance to make it through whatever unfolds in their life. Stages and seasons of life bring all kinds of difficulties and struggles. Whether you need to work through past trauma or present circumstances, I want to help you find the peace and quality of life you desire. I offer a safe space to explore and identify thoughts, learn to regulate emotions, and assist an individual or group in coping with the stress of everyday life.

Living life is manageable with a willing and understanding approach to guide perspectives for eventual outlets, balance or peace within.

Are you feeling overwhelmed, struggling with connection, or having difficulty coping with painful life experiences? Stress, sadness, and self-doubt can cause us to feel alone and stuck.
