My background as a licensed professional counselor and a candidate in training with the Inter-Regional Society of Jungian Analysts allows me the flexibility to move between various approaches in response to your unique needs. I received a Master's of Science degree in Psychology. I have 8 years of clinical experience working in a variety of mental health settings, including adolescent psychiatric inpatient, residential treatment, university counseling center, and private practice.
I maintain memberships with the American Counseling Association, the Mississippi Counseling Association, American College Counseling Association, the Association for Counselor Education and Supervision, and the Inter-Regional Society of Jungian Analysts.
Counseling or Psychotherapy?
There are a myriad of approaches to the treatment of emotional distress and life difficulties. If you are experiencing every-day life issues such as relationship problems, job related stresses or difficulties, then you may benefit from counseling. Counseling may include the use of advice, problem solving strategies, and new ways of viewing and understanding the problem.
Psychotherapy is appropriate for individuals who wish to probe more deeply into the history and origins of their symptoms in order to deepen their healing process. The benefit of longer-term psychotherapy is that individuals get to know themselves more fully and often develop a deeper acceptance of themselves.
