As a health care provider, patient advocacy has been the cornerstone of my practice. I am a highly self-sufficient professional, confident in my ability to independently manage and resolve a wide range of common challenges and unpredictable situations in healthcare. As a doctorial prepared nurse practitioner, I've had the opportunity to build tools to support providers with improving the accuracy of their diagnoses. My autonomous background has provided me with a proven record in treating Mood Disorders, Eating Disorders, Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, Women's Health related psychiatric disorders, Body Dysmorphia, as well as Sleep Disorders. Working within a diverse population including rural health has prepared me to serve and cater to the complexity and challenges faced by my clients, across all ages. In my spare time outside of the office, I enjoy reading, exercise, traveling, and playing with my puppy.

I help adults in Mississippi who are feeling overwhelmed by depression, anxiety, grief, trauma, addiction, low self-esteem, or major life changes. If you’re used to taking care of everyone else and are finally wondering, “What about me?”, you’re in the right place. Therapy with me is a nonjudgmental space where you can slow down, feel heard, and start making sense of what you’re going through so life doesn’t feel so heavy.
