In Person Therapists in Laurel, MS

I help adults get relief from anxiety by using cognitive & behavioral techniques so they can regain control and confidence, have a breakthrough, & use their inner superhero as a tool for self-care.

If you’ve been unable to control it, your friends are telling you you’re making too big of a deal out of it, and its lasted for more days than you care to honestly say, then you might have anxiety.

Proverbs 29:18a "Where there is no vision the people perish." Where there is a lack of physical, emotional, intellectual, or relational goals we get lost in the chaos of stress.

Trust and confidentiality are key in creating an open environment for my clients. My approach to each client is to provide room for healing, hope, or personal growth. I believe each person's counseling experience is to be tailored toward their own personal goals and needs. My vision of the therapeutic process between a client and therapist is a nonjudgmental, safe space for all emotions and experiences to be felt and heard. My commitment is to provide that environment in which each unique client can acquire the necessary tools/skills needed to reach his/her therapeutic goal.

I view the counseling process as an agent of change where the counselor and the client(s) have mutually agreed to engage in work towards agreed upon goals to benefit the client. This relationship is built on mutual respect, specifically regarding the client’s worldview, beliefs, and autonomy. My theoretical orientation is eclectic and includes components of cognitive-behavioral theory, person-centered perspectives, and positive psychology. In my practice, I utilize strengths-based approaches and techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy.

Those who work with me find themselves increasing their ability to communicate their needs in relationships, feel more empowered, recognize they are valued and worthy, and better understand and respond to their emotions.
