Meet the Licensed Professional Counselor Ready to Help You

It all started in my adolescent years, when I was initially drawn towards the counseling field as a teen after experiencing a sudden and tragic loss. Because of that event, I understood what it's like to feel trapped by wounds from the past or struggle to move past them into the future.

That early loss fueled me to work hard and follow my dreams and pursue my calling to counseling.  In 1997, I received my master's degree in counseling psychology from The University of Southern Mississippi, and in 1999, after two years of post-graduate counseling work, I received my LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) certification.

In 2015, after 18 years of work in various agencies, I started my private practice as a licensed professional counselor. For the past 10 years, I've based my clinical practice in Brandon, MS, where my family has lived for almost 30 years. 

I have worked with children, teens, adults, and families in various clinical settings for more than 22 years. I am particularly interested in helping adult women and men develop healthy boundaries, build healthy relationships, explore past traumas and loss, and find healing in the midst of life challenges.  

While guiding others on their journey to healing, I prioritize my own self-care, including working out regularly, staying active in my local church, enjoying family time and reading. Married for more than 32 years now, my husband and I have two wonderful sons.
