My Specialties

About Me

I grew up in Central Mississippi. I have children of my own, and I’ve been married for 10 years. I have a background in ER nursing, and now I’m a full-time Licensed Professional Counselor. I am a part of The Center for Hope and Healing at Broadmoor, which is a ministry of Broadmoor Baptist Church. The office is located at 212 Key Dr., Madison, MS 39110. I love integrating Christian theology and spiritual formation into counseling, maintaining fidelity to scripture and pointing our counseling efforts towards helping you grow in your faith. However, I only do that with clients who are looking for that perspective. Religion does not have to be a part of the counseling process if you don’t want it to be. I’ll meet you where you are.

What Are Your Qualifications?

I specialize in treating Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD), Anxiety Disorders (Panic Disorder, Phobias, Health Anxiety, Social Anxiety, Agoraphobia, Generalized Anxiety Disorder, etc.), and the effects of Trauma, which sometimes manifests as PTSD. Specialization is important to me because I personally want to be treated by someone who has spent a great deal of time and repetitions considering the intricacies of how to help me with my specific struggles.

I’m one of very few providers in the state of Mississippi with training from the International OCD Foundation in treating pediatric and adult OCD and anxiety disorders using Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP). In addition, I have training in an evidence-based treatment for trauma and PTSD called Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT). I also integrate attachment theory research and the way our childhood family dynamics impact us later in life. I alter my approach with these treatments based on my clients’ unique needs, but I stay rooted in practices that have a strong research base behind them.

How Much Does Therapy Cost?

I’m currently accepting Blue Cross Blue Shield, Aetna, UMR, and United Healthcare insurances. I’ll need to get some information from you to determine how much you will have to pay out of pocket for counseling if you have one of these insurers. Please contact me for income-based sliding scale rates if you do not have insurance.

How Do I Make an Appointment?

Use the form below, email, or call me (please leave a voicemail), and I’ll get back to you ASAP. If I can’t get you scheduled quickly because my schedule is too full, I’ll place you on my waitlist or refer you to someone I trust. I see clients in-person and online via telehealth as long as you are located in Mississippi. I look forward to hearing from you.
