Adults Therapists in Jackson, MS

As an experienced wellness advocate and clinician, I work with clients on various presenting issues, providing a caring and non-judgmental space for clients to feel comfortable and at ease. Clients may be struggling with feeling "stuck" or working through challenges and desire to gain insight and awareness to personal behaviors and patterns. Clients may also be seeking to explore beliefs, relationships, and life/career decisions.

Does it feel like you've just been struggling through life lately? Maybe you often feel overwhelmed, worn out, or like you're running on empty. Life is full of ups and downs and sometimes those low points just seem to go on and on. Whether this is a new feeling for you or it's an old, unwanted friend, you don't have to face it alone. If feelings of shame or worry about being a burden have kept you from seeking help in the past, know that you are God's creation and are deserving of receiving help.

PTSD, trauma, addiction, stress/anxiety, grief, relationship issues, or depression can occur at any age and anytime.

Immediate Availability! We can not plan for everything that happens to us. However, we can choose how we are going to respond. Sometimes, life throws you a curve ball that you didn’t see coming and it has left you feeling overwhelmed. Maybe you have been in survival mode and have just been putting one foot in front of the other just to make it through the day and you lift your head one day to realize you don’t know where you are or which way to go.

Are you or your spouse having an affair? I have 20+ years of experience helping marriages and individuals successfully navigate and survive an affair. I often witness marriages becoming stronger after our work together. Yours can too. Some of the other issues I work with daily are communication problems in relationships, depression, anxiety, panic attacks, and grieving. Doctors refer their patients because they say they know my techniques work. If you have questions please call or email. There's no need to put off getting the help you need. The sooner you get started, the sooner you'll feel good about yourself - and life - again.

Has your life become more difficult or challenging? Successfully navigating the daily twists and turns of life can often throw us off course leaving us wondering where to turn. During these times we need someone to help us discover our path back to normalcy. If you're in such a place, whether a major crisis or just one of life's bumps in the road, I can help.

Need a change? Ready to do something different? My passion is helping individuals navigate through difficult times in life, while discovering the best version of themselves. I offer client-centered, solution-focused therapy in a non-judgmental environment. Sometimes in life we just don't know what to do or where to turn. We need a safe space to feel seen & heard.

In my practice I work with two groups of people, couples and Men/Adolescent Boys.
