I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Mississippi and Alabama. I specialize in supporting individuals experiencing grief and loss, anxiety, depression, and life transitions. I also have advanced training in perinatal mood and anxiety disorders, infant mental health, and have special interests in working with parents and caregivers navigating the challenges of caring for a loved one with special health care needs.
My approach is warm, compassionate, and collaborative. I use evidence-based strategies such as CBT, mindfulness, and trauma-informed care, while creating a safe space where you can process emotions, build coping skills, and find strength in your story.
Whether you’re feeling overwhelmed by grief, struggling with anxiety or depression, or carrying the weight of being a caregiver, I will walk with you at your own pace. My role is to be understanding, supportive, and help you move forward with greater resilience and peace.
It takes courage to seek out a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. I am here to support & empower you in that journey.
Additional areas of focus: Adoption and foster care, Caregiver issues and stress, Communication problems, Family of origin issues, Forgiveness, Guilt and shame, Immigration issues, Isolation / loneliness, Life purpose, Multicultural concerns, Postpartum depression, Pregnancy and childbirth, Self-love, Social anxiety and phobia, Women's issues
