“You have to know what sparks the light in you so that you – in your own way – can illuminate the world.” – Oprah Winfrey
As a professional counselor, my passion and purpose is to assist clients through support, genuineness, and openness. I help individuals, families and couples find the pathway to illuminate the world, and help them discover and work towards what is desired within their lives. While working with me, you will be given a holistic approach, encouragement, empowerment, and strategies to create and build who you were destined to become. Thank you for allowing me to be part of your healing process.
In the therapeutic process, you will experience a safe, caring, and open therapeutic environment with no judgment. Within sessions, you will have the opportunity to obtain skills needed to combat the things that are causing challenges within your life. I help people work through a variety of issues, such as: anxiety, depression, trauma/PTSD, marital issues, family structure, life transitions, or just being “stuck”.
About me: I am a native of Mississippi. I married into a military family, and have two adult children, a toy poodle named Lisa, and a cat named Penelope. Throughout life, I have learned how to live within my truth, and to be transparent, vulnerable and resilient.
