Sarah was incredibly personable and relatable. She understood that I use humor to cope. I enjoy that she relates to me in ways through storytelling and briefly sharing her own experiences to ease my anxiety. She is wonderful!

PLEASE NOTE: I am working with teens and women/females exclusively at this time. thank you!
I'm a licensed therapist practicing in Mississippi and Tennessee with extensive experience supporting individuals and families through life's most challenging moments. My work spans a wide range of concerns, including depression, anxiety, stress, family conflict, parenting struggles, and anger management.
I specialize in helping clients navigate deeper issues like grief, shame, forgiveness, and questions of purpose and meaning. I also work with panic disorder, mood disorders, social anxiety, and life transitions affecting young adults, women, and caregivers. Additionally, I have experience supporting families navigating adoption, foster care, and neurodevelopmental considerations.
My approach is grounded in genuine care and respect for each person's unique values and beliefs. I create a welcoming space where you feel heard and understood, whether you're seeking support rooted in faith or from a secular perspective. I'm committed to helping you build stronger communication, deeper self-compassion, and meaningful connections with others.
I believe therapy works best when it's collaborative and tailored to who you are. I'm honored to walk alongside you as you work toward healing and growth.
I love Jesus, but I may cuss too. I am not going to stare with a blank face. I am a human and you get me in all my human glory and messiness too!

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

I feel she listens to me, hears a d addresses my concerns as well as gives me worksheets to help me understand and express what I am trying to say.
She’s great at pointing out different things and making me see things in a new prospective. I feel really comfortable talking to her, like I’m talking to a friend.
Sarah is great! I enjoy our talks. She helps me see things differently & gives me coping skills & techniques that I’ve used many times.
Sarah is a wonderful therapist, she has been so calming and helping me on my journey, it feels safe talking to her and that she does really understand and knows how to help. I feel luck to have been matched with her! I couldn’t recommend her enough!
Sarah is so good at finding worksheets that help me challenge my thoughts. When she comments on what I wrote, it gives me a different perspective on my experience. When we talk on the phone, we discover my triggers which helps her personalize the thereby.
Sarah is such an amazing therapist. She really listens and makes me feel heard. She is always reachable throughout the week/weekend and always makes the best effort to make sure to work with my busy schedule. I am so lucky to have found such a great match for a therapist.
