Meet the Therapist
The therapeutic journey is one that requires commitment and a bond that leads to trust and understanding. My goal is to provide each individual I serve an environment that is safe and confidential to share their story and true self. I use a person-centered, strength-based approach that puts you in the driver seat of your own treatment and I am the facilitator guiding you through each step. I believe that the feelings we experience (sadness, anger, fear, frustration, etc.) can be linked back to a root cause that needs to be addressed. I help you uncover, address, and cope with those circumstances.
I began my journey in counseling in 2010 working with individuals and families in a home and community based setting and eventually added training and supervising other therapist. I use Cognitive Behavior Therapy and Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavior Therapy as my main treatment methods.
I have a Doctorate of Philosophy in Psychology from Capella University, a Masters Degree in Counseling Psychology from Louisiana State University, and a Bachelors of Science in Psychology from the University of Southern Mississippi. I currently hold license to practice in Mississippi, Louisiana, Texas, and Wisconsin.
I grew up in Laurel, Mississippi but have a love of traveling. I grew up in the back woods of Jones County riding 4-wheelers and fishing. I continue to enjoy those things but also work on cars, garden, and love to cook. I always tell my patients “I am not the professional that is going to say “how does that make you feel”, I am the one that is going to push you to understand yourself better by being blunt”
