Each child has unique life experiences and circumstances, which is why I use an integrative approach to play therapy with every child.
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 and adolescent counseling is offered through individual sessions.
As a Licensed Professional Counselor, I enjoy working with children and adolescents struggling with social/communication difficulties, grief, anxiety, depression, anger, poor self esteem, and poor coping patterns, to name a few. I also work with families struggling with communication and behavior issues. I aim to help with "heeling" beyond traditional counseling interventions but rather through experiential learning and human-animal interactions. I assist with establishing healthy and effective coping strategies and lifestyle habits that encourage and promote mental health and wellness.

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.

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.
