Here's what I want you to know right away: you don't have to come in with everything figured out. Most of the people I work with show up unsure of where to even start — and that's completely fine. My job isn't to hand you a list of things you're doing wrong. It's to help you see what's already working in you and build from there.I work with a wide range of people across Mississippi — teenagers, adults, and seniors — dealing with anxiety, depression, ADHD, PTSD, OCD, bipolar disorder, substance use, anger, and more. No matter how long you've been carrying something, I believe change is real and within reach. I also believe therapy shouldn't require a two-hour drive across the state. Everything I do is via telehealth, so you can access consistent, quality care from your home, your car, or wherever you have a few quiet minutes.

I work from a strength-based foundation — meaning I genuinely believe you're not broken, and my role is to help you see and use what you already carry. That said, I'm practical. I draw on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) when you need tools for thought patterns that keep tripping you up, Motivational Interviewing when you're weighing change but not quite ready to commit, and Solution-Focused approaches when you want to move efficiently toward a specific goal.I let you lead the pace. Some clients want structure and homework; others need space to talk and process. I adapt to what actually works for you — not a one-size-fits-all model. Hard work matters here, but so does feeling safe enough to do it. We'll build that before anything else.

Expect a real conversation, not a checklist. Your first session is about us getting to know each other. I'll ask about what's been going on and what's brought you to this point, but I'll also ask what's going well — because that matters too.By the end of our first 50 minutes, you'll have a clearer sense of what we might work on together and whether I'm the right fit for you. There's no pressure to commit to anything before you're ready. Most people leave the first session feeling a little lighter just from having said some of these things out loud to someone who's actually listening.Sessions are held over secure video — all you need is a phone or computer and a private space. I'm in-network with Aetna, Cigna, and Carelon Behavioral Health, so cost is rarely a reason to hold back.
