Professional Background

I am a native of Petal, MS and moved to the Mississippi Gulf Coast in 2011.  I obtained my undergraduate degree in Psychology from the University of Southern Mississippi in 2009, and received my Master's degree in Child and Adolescent Therapy from William Carey University in 2012. My professional experience consists of working as an adult services case manager in 2009 and a family, adolescent, and child clinician from 2012-2015.  I worked closely with DHS and the Harrison County Youth Court during this time.  In 2017, I worked as a Military Family Life Counselor and provided services to the children, families, and service members in the U.S. Navy.  I opened my private practice in June of 2015 and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (#1984) for the State of Mississippi and a Licensed Mental Health Counselor for the State of Florida (#MH19066). I am also a Board-Certified Holistic Health Practitioner through the American Association of Drugless Practitioners and a 200-hour Certified Yoga Teacher. I currently reside in Casselberry, Florida.

I offer a holistic, solution-focused approach with my clients, and I often utilize Internal Family Systems, Transpersonal Psychology, Inner Child and Shadow work, and discuss spirituality and existential topics, as needed.  I am a proud part of the LGBTQ+ community, and I have always strived to make my services readily available to anyone within this demographic.  I provide support, respect, and encouragement for ALL people, regardless of race, gender, sexual orientation, and religion.  I believe that therapy is essential, and no one should have to feel that they do not have access to support.
