About
As a deeply compassionate, trauma-informed therapist, I bring both clinical expertise and lived experience to create a safe, culturally responsive space where clients feel seen, supported, and empowered to heal on their own terms.
I am a licensed professional counselor (LPC) with 18 years of experience supporting individuals, children, and families through a wide range of mental health concerns. I specialize in anxiety, depression, trauma, emotional regulation, and life transitions. Many clients come to therapy feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or emotionally exhausted, and I focus on helping them gain clarity, develop coping skills, and move toward meaningful and sustainable change.
I earned my master’s degree in counselor education and clinical mental health counseling from William Carey University. My approach is collaborative, client-centered, and grounded in evidence-based practices, including cognitive behavioral therapy, solution-focused therapy, and trauma-informed care, with treatment tailored to each individual’s unique needs.
Starting therapy can feel intimidating, but you do not have to navigate life’s challenges alone. I strive to create a supportive and safe environment where you feel heard, respected, and empowered. Together, we will work toward building insight, confidence, and practical tools to help you move forward with greater balance and resilient

My passion for helping individuals cultivate a centered sense of peace is deeply personal. Having experienced trauma in my own life without initially recognizing the impact it had on my mental and emotional well-being, I understand how easily unresolved experiences can shape thoughts, behaviors, and self-perception. I value wholeness and healthy individuals, which is why I approach my work from a solution-focused, strengths-based perspective. I walk alongside my clients with empathy and structure, helping them build practical tools, regain confidence, and develop a well-being rooted in awareness, accountability, and hope.
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over two decades of experience providing therapy to children, adolescents, adults, and families impacted by trauma, life transitions, and systemic barriers. My clinical foundation is rooted in trauma-informed care and evidence-based practice, with a deep commitment to creating equitable and supportive spaces for individuals who may feel unheard or misunderstood. In therapy, I integrate cognitive-behavioral strategies, strengths-based interventions, and restorative approaches to help clients develop healthier coping skills, improve emotional regulation, and create meaningful, lasting change.
I believe that behavior is often a reflection of unresolved trauma, environmental stressors, or unmet developmental needs—not personal deficiency. My therapeutic approach is collaborative, culturally responsive, and grounded in emotional attunement. I work with clients experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma-related symptoms, self-esteem challenges, and adjustment difficulties, helping them gain insight into patterns that no longer serve them while building practical tools for growth. I value clear boundaries, ethical practice, and shared goal-setting, ensuring that each client feels both supported and empowered throughout the therapeutic process.
My goal in therapy is to walk alongside clients as they rebuild confidence, strengthen resilience, and restore a sense of balance in their lives. I strive to create a safe, respectful, and structured environment where healing feels attainable and progress is measurable. Guided by integrity, compassion, and a belief in transformative growth, I am committed to helping individuals cultivate self-awareness, stability, and sound emotional well-being.

At Thriveworks, Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) primarily concentrates on assisting individuals in emotion regulation, enhancing interpersonal relationships, and acquiring effective coping strategies for managing stress and emotional difficulties.
Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) targets your personal challenges. You may work with your DBT therapist to maintain diary cards to monitor progress, emphasizing validation and support in the therapeutic relationship. DBT follows a stage-based approach, prioritizing crisis reduction initially and life satisfaction.
DBT was initially developed to address the needs of individuals with borderline personality disorder (BPD). However, its versatile approach has enabled its application to a wide range of mental health conditions, including but not limited to, anxiety, depression, stress, and anger issues.
The 4 pillars of DBT are mindfulness, emotion regulation, interpersonal effectiveness, and distress tolerance.
Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) and eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) have distinct purposes and aren’t inherently superior or inferior to one another. DBT is most effective for managing emotional regulation, personality disorders, and interpersonal challenges, while EMDR is specifically tailored for individuals with trauma-related conditions like post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) with therapists at Thriveworks in Jackson, MS is conducted both in person and online by video. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.
The duration of a standard DBT program is typically around 24 weeks, which is roughly six months. The actual number of sessions will vary depending on the issues you wish to address.
Includes individual, couples, child/ teen, & family therapy
