I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Mississippi, Illinois, and Alabama. I have 7 years of social work experience, with 3 of those years providing psychotherapy. I have experience in helping clients with stress, anxiety and depression, trauma and abuse, coping with grief and loss, & anger management.
I work with my clients to create an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment. It takes courage to seek out a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. I am here to support & empower you in that journey.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
