I have been practicing for 17 years, primarily seeing adults and senior citizens. I operate from a person-centered, emotionally-focused basis. You are the expert on your life, and my goal is to help you with that. I utilize experiential and psychodramatic techniques.. These methods allow for role plays and visualizations. Such techniques increase your ability to get more deeply in touch with your issues and see situations clearly. When you reenact what happens at home, in the safety of the therapy office, solutions become clear and your voice becomes strong.

Hi, I’m really glad you’re here. If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed, stuck in stress, or unsure about your next steps, you’re not alone. Many people reach a point where they want things to feel different but aren’t quite sure how to get there. You might feel mentally exhausted, disconnected, or like you’re carrying more than you can manage on your own. I’m a licensed therapist in Mississippi and Wisconsin with over 11 years of experience supporting adults through life’s challenges. I work with individuals who are ready to feel more grounded, clear, and in control, even if they’re not sure where to begin.
