Teletherapy for Mississippi

I believe that we are all image-bearers of God, as having been created in His image. Therefore, the client and I both bring resources into the therapy room with which to work collaboratively toward a healthier life for the client-- mentally, physically, emotionally, and spiritually. Beyond my training in Marriage and Family Therapy, I have experience that I bring to the table from my own life journey-- parenting into adulthood; divorce recovery; partner betrayal trauma, spiritual formation; marriage and relationships; career counseling; codependency issues; and addictions. My greatest core belief is that there is always hope!

I am so excited that you have taken an amazing step forward today. Today is your Best Day Ever. Life has a way of throwing us challenges that may sometimes be overwhelming and it happens to the best of us. Seeking therapy is a safe place to work through those difficult times that you are facing. I love this quote by John Wooden, "Success is a peace of mind, which is a direct result of self-satisfaction in knowing you made the effort to become the best of which you are capable". I am here for you, and together we can achieve that success and peace of mind to get through the difficult times.

My desire to become a therapist was deeply influenced by a loved one's battle with OCD. This experience fostered a profound wish within me to support others through their struggles and assist them on their journey to healing. Witnessing the challenges they faced, I'm committed to helping individuals reclaim their lives from obsessions and compulsions. My aim is to provide empathetic and unconditional support, drawing from personal experiences and the evident need for quality mental health care. If sharing your thoughts feels daunting, rest assured, I'll foster a nurturing environment where you can gradually feel at ease.

Life throws us curveballs...and sometimes we realize that our old ways of coping just aren't working anymore.

I specialize in personal and relationship issues, coping with changes, and seasons of depression and anxiety.

The vicissitudes of life are often difficult to navigate. The very thought of tomorrow can seemingly precipitate feelings of agony and emotional pain. Perception of the future can be overshadowed by fear and doubt. In these moments, moving forward seems impossible. Perhaps you are experiencing feelings of sadness, anxiousness, merely uncertain about the future of a relationship, or feel that you aren’t living the life you were meant to lead. Whatever your respective needs, Connecting the Dots Therapy, LLC can assist.

When a person is faced with life stressors, it can be hard to know how to "act" or "present themselves." An ideal client is one who recognizes that something is not right and takes the first step in seeking help. That is the most difficult part. They recognize the way they are feeling is not how they want or need to feel. It takes courage to ask for help and I understand the process of finding a therapist can be overwhelming. I am proud of you for taking the first steps towards a positive change. If you are ready to take that step I am here to support and empower you through your journey.

Feeling isolated, unseen or misunderstood? Being tormented by experiences of the past? Anxiety through the roof? Uncomfortable in your own skin? The good news is it doesn't have to be that way.

I will work with you in a customized manner to fit your personality, needs, and goals. I have 10+ years experience working with adults and adolescents who have experienced trauma, grief/loss, oppression (internal and external), infertility, addiction, along with those struggling with sexuality and gender expression.

Something just isn't working in your life. Your fights with your spouse are on the wash-rinse-repeat cycle. Motivation and drive have left the building, so you binge Netflix and feel guilty for not being productive. Your inner critic won’t stop telling you how bad, fat, or disappointing you are. You look in the mirror and see someone you hate and/or a body that disgusts you. You don’t like the way things are, but you don’t know how to change, and trying to do it yourself hasn’t worked.

I believe in everyone's ability to change, heal, cope and feel joy. I work mostly with adults from a Family Systems perspective. This means I try to understand people as a whole and recognize that we are all being affected by the systems (family, work, communities etc) that surround us. I use primarily cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness based techniques to address your relationship with yourself and the world around you.
