Great to meet you!

Therapy with me isn't about me telling you what to do or handing you a workbook and calling it healing. What I've learned in doing this work since 2016 — in community mental health centers, residential programs, child welfare — is that people don't need more advice. They need someone who will actually sit with them in the hard stuff and help them figure out their own way through.

I work with adults who are dealing with anxiety, depression, trauma, codependency, relationship struggles, and life transitions — including the ones nobody warned you about. I'm based in Mississippi and see all my clients via telehealth through Headway's platform, which means you get the same quality care from your living room that you'd get in any office.

My approach to therapy

I use a strength-based lens — which means I'm not looking at you as a list of symptoms. I'm looking at the whole person: your history, your relationships, your environment, your values. Then I use tools that research shows actually move the needle: EMDR for trauma and stuck emotional patterns, CBT to shift unhelpful thinking, and DBT when emotions feel like they're running the show.

I believe healing isn't linear and it doesn't look the same for everyone. What I promise is that I'll show up prepared, stay curious about your experience, and adapt as we learn what works for you specifically.

What you can expect from me

The first session is yours to use however feels right — but typically we spend time getting to know each other and I'll ask about what brought you in, what you've tried before, and what you're hoping changes. I won't bombard you with forms or make you relive everything on day one.

I accept Aetna, Cigna, and Carelon Behavioral Health, and all sessions are via telehealth — so you can join from home, your car, wherever feels private and comfortable. If you're ready to take that first step, I'd love to connect.
