Stress happens to everyone, but not everyone takes the necessary steps you have to find resolve. For this reason, I commend you and want to use my 20 years of experience to help you find your resolve.
My counseling approach is simple yet effective; I engage nonjudgmentally through actively listening and solution focused therapies while creating a safe space for you to share and problem-solve daily stressors using your strengths, needs, abilities and preferences. It is my mission to provide you with a roadmap to successfully navigating life-stressors. My former and current clients would say that I am insightful, compassionate, humorous, professional, and can assist you with challenging negative thoughts.
As a Licensed Certified Social Worker-Clinical in the State of Mississippi, I have worked with a diverse background of adults and Veterans. Through my experience, I understand the impact different challenges may have on you, and the importance of tailoring treatment plans that focus on you and your specific needs. Whether you struggle with mood disorders or difficulty coping with current stressors, I have an outpatient approach to assist you. Treatment approaches used include motivational counseling, crisis intervention, cognitive behavioral therapy, and client centered therapy to help you regain your footing.
Freedom is only one click away. I look forward to working with you to walk in success together.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.
