I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Mississippi with 12 years of experience in the social work field with over 3 years of providing clinical services to clients. I have experience in helping clients to cope with substance abuse addictions, trauma and abuse, anxiety, grief and loss, & parenting issues. I have been able to use my skills in different settings such as a mental health institution, an addiction treatment center, foster care and adoption, and an adolescent group home. I am passionate about bringing hope and healing to individuals and families.
I am certified in Trust-Based Relational Intervention® and I was a certified Mental Health First Aid Instructor for 2 years. I utilize a client-centered and strengths based approach to therapy. I use a variety of therapeutic techniques to include, cognitive-behavioral, psycho-educational, trauma-informed, mindfulness, and story engagement. I am fascinated and deeply moved by each individual’s story from beginning to end. I enjoy “connecting the dots” to how our past experiences affect our mental, emotional, physical, social and spiritual behaviors, both healthy and unhealthy. Everyone has a story, and I would love to assist you in telling yours.
My availability for sessions is usually between 9AM-1:30PM Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. This schedule has potential to change due to planned vacation, personal time, and/or holidays.

Dru has been so helpful with helping me navigate my grief and anxiety. She has helped me learn how to function in society while also taking time to properly grieve.

I’ve only had one live session so far but she was absolutely wonderful! Never felt so cared for! I felt like I actually had a voice!
