I have worked in the mental health profession since 2009, and have been a licensed professional counselor since 2014. I am experienced in working with clients who struggle with co-occurring mental health and substance use disorders, depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorder, and spiritual development issues. I am an LGBTQIA+ affirming therapist, and strive to provide a comfortable and safe space to focus on the healing process of each client.
I utilize Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and a twelve-step facilitation approach most often in my practice. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in the state of Mississippi and Tennessee, an EMDRIA certified EMDR clinician and is a Board Certified-Telemental Health Provider.

As a member of the LGBTQIA+ community I know the struggle to find safe healthcare providers. My own experience with counseling was not helpful at first because as a teen I was sent to be “changed”, not loved and supported. My goal is to support all clients no matter where they are in life or how they identify. I also want to provide a safe space for clients to explore their identity and heal from past traumas. I know the importance of finding a counselor that is a good fit and how that can change the entire counseling experience.
