About

I am a clinical social worker licensed in the state of Mississippi and in Virginia. I have over 5 years of experience in social work practice. I have experience helping people cope with adjustment related anxiety and depression, chronic health conditions, relationship problems, grief, and planning for end of life care. Some of the populations I have worked with include children and families involved in the court system, military service members and cancer patients.

I have been told that I am a good listener and a calming presence and I love learning new things from my clients. I meet every person with compassion, an open mind, and support without judgement. I have a deep appreciation for the strengths and attributes that are unique to all of us. I seek to create a therapeutic environment that feels safe, encouraging and at times, humorous. I combine a variety of approaches to best suit your individual needs including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, cognitive-behavioral, mindfulness, solution-focused and person-centered. My perspective as a social worker includes viewing each client as a whole person and looking at multiple aspects of your life which may be contributing to your current emotional experience.

In addition to my previous experience and approaches listed above, I have recently begun working towards obtaining post graduate degree certification in veterinary social work. I recognize the unique relationship between people and their companion animals. I look forward to supporting clients in their grief and loss of their animal family members. Our pets take up a very special place in our lives and the pain that often follows the loss of our companion animals is often overlooked or dismissed. I can provide a safe supportive relationship to work through that pain.


I appreciate the opportunity to partner with you during this vulnerable time in your life. Starting therapy can be a little scary, especially if this a new experience for you. You have made the first step in taking action to promote positive changes in your life. I look forward to partnering with you in this process and encourage you to ask questions and feedback regarding how I may best support you.
