I specialize with things like: communication, attachment concerns/relationship anxiety, child therapy, parent coaching, and couples counseling.
Hello! It's a joy for me to come alongside those courageous enough to ask for help. Sometimes it's embarrassing to ask questions about what’s normal and what isn't -i.e., "Am I a bad parent because my child doesn't listen?" or "Is something wrong with me because my relationships keep failing?" I work to provide an open environment for my clients to both process these questions and find solutions. My ideal client values both their personal and loved ones’ mental health. It's an honor to come alongside adults and children with painful histories and increase healthy options for your future.

Sometimes children and kids need an independent and trusting adult to help sort out difficult emotions and behaviors.
Children and youth sometimes have much more difficulty expressing their feelings in an appropriate way in than adults. It is difficult to watch your child suffer with anxiety, depression, stress, or any variety of situations that impact daily living. Children and youth may not have learned how to express emotions due to varying reasons. The goal is to improve coping skills, confidence, and the ability for all children and adolescents to navigate big emotions and difficult emotions in a healthy manner.

Please reach out if you feel your child or family might benefit from therapy.
The scope of my therapy practice is based on the belief that children are growing, developing individuals who at times need assistance beyond their families and school structures to develop emotional and social skills, self confidence, and coping skills to handle stressors. Children are often more open than adults to change and I absolutely love getting to see them transform and grow. I work with children and adolescents ages 4 to 18.

Play therapy is an evidence-based therapeutic approach used with children under age 12 by a trained play therapist.
I have worked with children, adolescents, and adults in a variety of practice settings over the past 20 years. My primary area of interest and training is working with children under the age of 10 dealing with issues of anxiety, depression, trauma, abuse, autism, developmental delay, divorce, grief, medical issues, behavioral problems, and more. I believe children have limitless potential for growth and they have an innate capacity for resiliency. I also believe that parents and primary caregivers play a critical role in a child's recovery and a joint approach to working with children is essential to healing.

Child Therapists
Child psychologists in Mississippi provide mental health therapy to children and are experts in child development.

Every comprehensive review of therapy with children shows that all credible approaches, when performed by a competent mental health clinician, produce almost the same results. About half of all kids will get better. Of those that improve, 80% will show progress in a relatively short time (likely in fewer than six sessions), the remaining 20% will need longer-term support.

The best child therapists in Mississippi build great relationships with the child and the parent. They also see the child's strengths and are open to hearing the child's possible solutions to the challenges the child faces. Finally, a good therapist appreciates the child's culture and is sensitive to the values of the child's community.
