I have had the privilege to guide women and teenage girls through anxiety, depression, coping with a

family

member’s addiction, college transitions, codependency, difficult relationships and more. As a Telehealth certified therapist who offers late afternoon appointment times (5:30 and 6:30 appointment times are currently available for new clients), I'm able to help provide better access to therapy for many individuals. I offer face to face telehealth therapy sessions to teenage girls and women 15 and older in Mississippi at times that are perfect for after school or work.

In addition to addressing anxiety, depression, trauma, marriage and

family

issues, grief, addiction, job stress, and burnout, I have extensive experience and training in employee assistance programs.

We all have an intrinsic knowing – what we want for our life, what is working, what is not – but sometimes it is difficult to see, feel, and recognize it. That is where therapy can help. Consider me your guide. I will work alongside you as we chart a path to find your authentic life – your true self. With expanded awareness, it is possible to not only see but to also act on the things in your life that you want to, and can change. But it takes time and a safe space to share and be present with your vulnerabilities.

My goal as Licensed Professional Counselor is to help my clients navigate life's journey by examining their behavioral patterns, thinking processes, as well as their psychosocial factors to work towards a life of balance, stability, and happiness. I believe that the counseling process is person-centered to each client based on their needs, desires, and goals. I believe the therapeutic relationship requires the client to actively participate to the best of their abilities by striving to implement skills and strategies acquired during sessions in their daily lives as well as to be honest about their concerns and increased symptoms.

I believe in helping individuals discover their own strengths and truths about themselves in order to address any issues they are experiencing. Everyone has a desire to be loved and accepted as well as a need to discover their own purpose in life. This discovery often promotes motivation and goal setting to assist with growing deeper within oneself and relationally with others. I love to see clients set goals and then work to achieve them. There is such a feeling of accomplishment for a person when they finally carry out what they have been working towards.

You don't understand why your faith is not working for you. You are a Christian but yet you struggle with depression, anxiety, relationship problems and just getting through life. You feel guilty and ashamed that prayer and turning things over to God hasn't worked for you. Maybe you have been deeply hurt by others and can't seem to get past it. Or maybe things from your childhood are coming back to haunt you and you can't seem to find God in all of it. It doesn't make sense. You are just existing, going through the motions.

I have worked with various populations (adolescents to adults, different races, LGBTQ, etc). I mostly use the positive psychology and talk therapy (psychotherapy) approach. It is important to aim towards focusing on what one do well and thrive in (increasing one's strengths, building positive emotions) rather than just coping with negative experiences. I like using a variety of treatments to help a person identify and change troubling emotions, thoughts, and behaviors. Other approaches I use are Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Person-Centered Therapy, and Reality Therapy.

Men often carry burdens alone and wish they had someone they could trust for help and guidance. The pressure of “being a man” leaves many of us feeling inadequate, confused, and lonely. We wish we had fathers or mentors to show us the way, but we have no idea how to find them. David welcomes you to explore your struggles in a safe environment and find better ways of living life with the people you love. If part of your struggle is marital or relational, then feel free to come as a couple.

Family Therapy

What do family therapists do?

A family therapist facilitates the process of understanding and improving how a family functions. The therapist will help family members develop empathy for one another. They’ll seek to understand existing patterns, misunderstandings, and conflicts that arise, in order to help the family arrive at a realistic, unified understanding and develop the coping skills they need to build stronger relationships.


How long does therapy for families take to work?

Therapy manifests differently in every family; a common time frame is 12 weekly sessions, but some families may see improvement after just a few weeks. Families should discuss their goals with the therapist at the beginning of the process and periodically revisit those goals to assess their progress together.


How can you encourage a family member to attend family therapy?

You can encourage family members to attend therapy by expressing with both love and concern the challenges you see and explaining how a therapist could help the family navigate those challenges together. An outside perspective can help everyone feel heard, get on the same page, and develop new skills. If family members are still hesitant, it may be helpful to emphasize that family therapy is short-term—it won’t last forever.


Is therapy for families effective?

Family therapy can significantly improve family dynamics and relationships. Research suggests that family therapy can help individuals understand their role in the family, communicate and solve problems together, reduce conflict and draw boundaries when necessary, and develop coping skills for stressors, major life changes, and mental or physical illnesses within the family.
