Are You . . .
Whether you’re a parent concerned about your teenager or a young adult trying to figure things out on your own, therapy can be a hopeful place to start.
You’re Not Alone!
After earning my Master of Education in Counselor Education with an emphasis in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from the University of Mississippi in 2021, I’ve had the opportunity to work in a variety of mental health settings, including schools, community mental health, and outpatient clinics. These experiences have shaped the way I approach therapy as a Licensed Professional Counselor and the importance I place on meeting each person where they are and creating a space where teens and young adults feel understood, respected, and comfortable being themselves.
My Approach
I believe therapy is a place to slow down, make sense of what you’re experiencing, and better understand the patterns that shape you. You don’t need to know where to begin or exactly what you or your teenager needs—that’s something we can figure out together!
I draw from a variety of evidence-based therapeutic techniques and tailor my approach to each person, their experiences, and their goals. My hope is that therapy is a collaborative process—one where you feel heard and supported as you work toward meaningful change.

Parents and guardians are an important part of an adolescent’s support system. My goal is to find a balance between involving parents when it is helpful and legally necessary, while also giving teens the privacy and independence they need to feel comfortable being open in therapy. The level of parent involvement will depend on your teenager’s age, needs, and goals, and we’ll talk together during the intake process about what that looks like for you and your adolescent.

Every person and situation is unique; therefore, there isn’t a set number of sessions that guarantees progress. Some people may notice they start to feel better within a few sessions, while others need more time to work through deeper, more complex concerns. We will regularly check-in about how things are going to ensure that therapy continues to feel helpful and meaningful for you.
