Immediate Availability! We can not plan for everything that happens to us. However, we can choose how we are going to respond. Sometimes, life throws you a curve ball that you didn’t see coming and it has left you feeling overwhelmed. Maybe you have been in survival mode and have just been putting one foot in front of the other just to make it through the day and you lift your head one day to realize you don’t know where you are or which way to go. Maybe life seems like it has become a never-ending cycle of anxiety and depression. Or, do you just feel like you need some extra support to get you to where you want to be? I can help.

I offer short-term, solution-focused therapy. My clients are successful people whom I respect and admire. Like in other areas of their lives when an issue occurs, they want answers and a course of action. Providing for others, they have often put aside their own needs. Their work and personal relationships are intertwined. Talking about how to move forward can be a timeout when one can determine the next steps. Hearing yourself talk aloud about what has been on your mind and heart may give clarity in differentiating between want and need. I encourage clients to gift themselves with time aside.

I love Mississippi and I love meeting the people who live here. I believe everyone has a story and I consider it an honor to be in a position to hear those stories. I come from a Christian perspective and the interventions I use are congruent with my beliefs and values. The primary interventions I use are from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Emotionally Focused Therapy, Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR), and other proven family therapy models. I do not impose my personal beliefs and values onto my clients. This process is about you, not me.

It takes courage to connect for counseling and recovery from abuse, loss, trauma, or other adverse childhood experiences. Often these experiences can result in challenging maladaptive behaviors including substance use, aggression, self-injury, or suicidality in youth. I believe that children and youth heal best in a family-focused relational modality addressing the problems to be solved for the youth and their caregivers too. Individuals who have experienced disruption in their relationships through the death of a parent or removal from their home can benefit from clarification and reconciliation to achieve safety and wellness.

My strengths as a counselor include my ability to be authentic, share warmth, cultivate wisdom, and build connections. My therapeutic lens is person centered, existential, and behavioral; I can speak with insight and clarity to your essential questions about who you have been, who you are, and what you should do. I seek to partner with you in a process of discovery and productive therapeutic work. I find that sometimes the most important counseling goals emerge as sessions get underway and trust and rapport are built. The most important goals may be surprising and even liberating.

Working with those who struggle to overcome the trauma of abusive relationships has been my life dream. However, trauma comes in many forms and leaves ugly scars that wreck havoc on our lives, but it does not have to control our lives. We can be overcomers! Working from a Mindfulness/CBT and person centered perspective allows us change the way we think about our past and regain control of our future.

I have worked in the field of counseling for approximately 30 years, working in a variety of settings - inpatient, outpatient, acute care, Intensive outpatient, and residential treatment. I feel having a positive, compassionate approach to each individual session provides hope and empowerment to make the necessary changes to improve one's life. Learning how to implement coping strategies in situations can alter the clients perspective in seeing opportunities for growth and self-efficacy.
