Therapists Beginning With J in Mississippi

Ready to make positive, impactful changes in your life? I enjoy working with adolescents, young adults, and adults to discover a deep sense of purpose and meaning, resulting in the transformative ability to live a satisfying and fulfilling life. I strive to work with clients to successfully navigate difficult transitions, let go of the past, and move towards a positive, healthy life.

The decision to come to therapy is often a difficult step to take. Life by nature is not easy to navigate. We all get stuck now and again. I am a licensed marriage and family therapist, working with individuals, families, adolescents, and couples to strengthen relationships through some of life's challenges and transitions.

If you are reading this it is evident you are searching for solutions to life issues and challenges. As a therapist my primary goal is to provide clients with a safe and judgement free space where they feel free to express needs, desires, and concerns. I work closely with all clients to assist them in gaining the personal insight and self-awareness necessary to identify thought patterns, behavior patterns, and relationship patterns that consistently create difficulty and make change appear impossible. Change is never impossible or out of reach when clients have hope. Hope does not disappoint!

Life is full of challenges and I want to help my clients work through them to find their best lives ever. Where ever you are on life's path, I can walk with you during this search for answers to life's problems. You are not alone. I provide a safe environment for you to work out your specific need. No two people are alike, and no client is alike. I have experience working with anxiety, depression, and posttraumatic stress, as well as life adjustments, and stress management. I utilize an integrative approach including CBT, Solution Focused, Motivational Interviewing, and Play Therapy.

There are times in life that leave us feeling weighed down, stuck, and unable to see a way forward. You are not alone. We all encounter this at some point. The good news is there is hope. It may not feel like it now, but by reaching out for support during these difficult times you are opening yourself up to an opportunity for change to occur. I believe that as we work together through the therapy process, you will gain a healthier understanding of yourself and your situation, which will equip you to make decisions that will benefit your life.

As a seasoned counselor, I have experience with varying life issues, including adolescent struggles with school and/or friendships, conflicts in relationships, and coping with loss and grief. My approach is one of hopefulness and positive expectations. If you need support sorting your thoughts and feelings, I can help. Sometimes clarity emerges as we express ourselves to a trusted professional who has the tools and expertise to guide us along a safe path.

"There are two primary choices in life: to accept conditions as they exist, or accept the responsibility for changing them."- Denis Waitley. Change gets a jump start in a supportive environment. I believe with understanding, acceptance and commitment an individual thrives. Counseling encourages these things and more.

Life is not always smooth sailing & it is my goal to help those struggling to successfully navigate through the challenges life has presented. For true healing & growth, I believe all areas of the self need to be healthy. I don't adhere to one treatment modality, but rather work with individuals to address their specific needs. I strive to provide validation to feelings while working towards a solution. My role is to provide support & guidance, enabling you to process through thoughts & feelings while moving towards the peace you're seeking.

In life we all encounter positive and negative events that can lead to emotional distress. These events have the ability to impair our daily and cognitive functioning. Therapy provides a platform to help you process your feelings and emotions related to the stressful event. If you are experiencing difficulties related to stress, loss, divorce, life transitions, relationships, parenting, medical, and mental health, therapy will help you find positive coping strategies to help you cope and improve your emotional wellness. My goal is to help you find fortitude during your difficult moments.

Looking to move towards greater self-awareness, resilience, and ultimately, a life filled with hope and fulfillment? I offer a supportive environment where your concerns and goals are center stage. I work with women who are experiencing anxiety, depression, and difficulties with fertility, pregnancy, and postpartum life. Spend time pouring into yourself and move towards the future with confidence.

I am a board-certified clinical mental health counselor who is considered an expert in my field. Using an eclectic style of therapy, my work focuses on implementing evidence-based practices along with holistic practices to improve the identification and treatment of mental illness. I do not believe in "fixing" people because I am not a mechanic and people are not machines. I do feel that everyone has their own journey, and each path may be different, but it never hurts to have a guide. No matter what your past consists of it does not define who you are.
