About
With over 30 years of experience in mental health, I believe healing begins when people feel heard, supported, and empowered to move forward through life’s challenges.
I am a licensed professional counselor with over 30 years of experience in the mental health field. I work with adults facing anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions, and everyday stress. Many of my clients are seeking clarity, emotional balance, and healthier ways to cope with life’s challenges. I also have experience supporting individuals from underserved communities and those navigating difficult life circumstances. My goal is to provide a supportive space where clients feel heard, understood, and empowered to move forward.
My approach is compassionate, practical, and client-centered. I integrate evidence-based methods such as cognitive behavioral and solution-focused strategies to help clients identify patterns, strengthen coping skills, and create realistic goals. Clients can expect a supportive space focused on growth, resilience, and meaningful change.
Reaching out for support can be one of the most important steps toward change. You do not have to face life’s challenges alone. I strive to create a safe and supportive space where you can feel heard, gain clarity, and move forward with confidence. When you are ready, I welcome the opportunity to support you on your journey.

Anxiety therapy helps people better understand and manage their anxiety. Anxiety therapists at Thriveworks in Hattiesburg, MS can develop a treatment plan that will help you better manage your day-to-day anxiety or your anxiety disorder.
Anxiety therapy involves talking to a therapist about symptoms, potential causes, and more. Thriveworks Hattiesburg therapists will then work with you to determine where your anxiety might stem from and teach you effective coping mechanisms.
One of the best ways to deal with anxiety is to learn about your own anxiety: your symptoms, what triggers it, and what coping mechanisms have been effective in the past. When you learn what your anxiety is tied to, it can help you be mindful of what’s really happening as well as prevent and mitigate symptoms by processing and working through the issue in therapy. Other strategies that have been shown to help manage anxiety are meditation, challenging anxious thoughts, exercising, and journaling.
Common symptoms of anxiety include:
Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) can be incredibly effective in treating anxiety and anxiety disorders. Other effective techniques include exposure therapy, Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), Acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), and EMDR therapy.
Anxiety therapy is conducted both in person and online, depending on the individual’s preferences and their therapist’s availability. We suggest choosing the option that best suits your needs.
On average, people can tend to attend 15 to 20 session of anxiety therapy (five or more months). However, this number is heavily dependent on the type of anxiety that’s being treated and its severity, with many choosing to attend anxiety therapy for a longer period of time to ensure its effectiveness long-term.
Yes, it is worth going to therapy for anxiety. If you are struggling with regular anxious thoughts and feelings that are affecting your day-to-day life or you suspect that you have an anxiety disorder, you should seek expert anxiety help.
Anxiety can disrupt your life by making everyday tasks feel scary. Addressing prolonged feelings of stress and anxiety can reduce their impact and help you live a happier, healthier life. Just as a doctor can mend a broken bone, anxiety can be treated by a skilled psychiatrist using techniques like talk therapy and prescription medication.
If you’re interested in scheduling counseling or therapy for anxiety, call our office today at Thriveworks Counseling in Hattiesburg, MS.
