I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in the state of Mississippi and the state of Michigan.
I received my bachelor’s degree from the University of Mississippi (Hotty Toddy!) and my Master of Arts in Counseling from Reformed Theological Seminary. Before moving to Jackson, Miss. for graduate school, I worked with Cru (a campus ministry) for three years on the Ole Miss campus.
While living in Oxford, I also worked as the Administrative Assistant at Grace Bible Church of Oxford for two years.
Through receiving counseling in my own life, my desire grew to sit with and serve those experiencing darkness, hardship, or hurt in their own life. I want to utilize my life experience and education to walk alongside my clients as they uncover and develop their own internal resources.
I have been a LPC for over 10 years and have worked with a very diverse group of clients. They range in age from 6 to 60. I specialize in adolescents and trauma. I have also worked with depression, anxiety, personal relationships, parenting problems, addictions, emotional abuse, and physical trauma.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Hattiesburg
Finding the right therapist in Hattiesburg starts with identifying what you want to focus on. Whether you're looking for support with anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship concerns, or a life transition, choosing a licensed provider who has experience with your specific needs can make a meaningful difference. Common provider types in Mississippi include Licensed Professional Counselors (LPCs), Licensed Clinical Social Workers (LCSWs), Licensed Marriage and Family Therapists (LMFTs), and psychologists — each with distinct training, though all are qualified to provide talk therapy.
Hattiesburg is home to a range of mental health providers, from solo practitioners near the USM campus to larger practices in the Downtown and Oak Grove areas. Many offer both in-person and virtual sessions, giving you flexibility to choose what fits your schedule. Reading a provider's bio before booking can help you understand their approach, specialties, and what a session with them looks like — so you can feel more confident about your choice.
Therapy in Hattiesburg can be expensive out of pocket, but using your in-network insurance benefits is one of the most reliable ways to reduce your cost per session. On Headway, you can enter your insurance details to see estimated session costs before you book, and many patients pay as low as $0 per visit. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, making it easier to find a provider who fits both your clinical needs and your budget.
