Is your child dealing with behavioral problems or mental health issues such as depression, anxiety, or social stress? As a parent, it is easy to feel powerless watching your child battle something, not knowing how to help. I have dedicated my life to helping families through these and many other challenges. You may not be able to control the issues your child is facing in school, behavioral challenges, or change past traumatic events, but you can get them the help they need today. It’s a step you can take for your child that can change the entire course of their life.

I am currently completing the study of play therapy with the University of Mississippi where I began utilizing non directive, child centered methods.
I am honored to be working with Wright Counseling Group here in Oxford. I have spent the past 22 years as a school counselor helping teenagers and elementary students, families, and staff. Counseling is my greatest joy and passion. I look forward to working with both adults and children in the therapeutic setting. I specialize in building resiliency, anxiety, depression, grief, anger management, relationship issues, and many other needs that clients bring to session. I am person centered, tailoring my work to prescriptively meet the needs of my clients. I incorporate mindfulness, art therapy, CBT, Gestalt, and attachment theory.

Specializations: marriage/family therapy, children’s therapy (play therapy) (trained at the University of MS and Oxford Play Therapy Institute), career counseling, adoption/infertility, anxiety, depression, sexual abuse/narcissistic abuse recovery, ADHD, mood/personality disorders.
If you find yourself here, I encourage you to reach out to me (email/text). You may be surprised to find that even if you’re not experiencing a “crisis” or a difficult time in life, therapy is a great way to learn more about yourself, improve your outlook, strengthen relationships, or gain career guidance. Everyone benefits from therapy. Having the pleasure of working in this field for over 15 years, I pride myself on taking an experiential approach to therapy, as each person is unique in his or her own way. Taking a “one size fits all” approach is not effective. I look forward to helping you on an effective therapeutic journey.

I think it's important to approach therapy with an open mind. I don't have expectations of clients other than they need and are seeking help. I have a wide variety of skills and don't know what I can help you with until we discuss the issue. At the first session we decide together if our relationship will be effective in helping you solve your problem.

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.
