Therapists in Oxford, MS
You can always pretend that everything is okay even when you know that things are not okay. You have gotten good at acting happy even when you feel sad. Depression can be like that sometimes and you can get so used to faking it that you may just feel normal that way. But it’s not normal. There are counselors in Oxford who can explain that to you.
The City of Oxford has many attractions such as the Lyric Theater, Gertrude Castellow Ford Center for Performing Arts, Burns-Belfry Museum, and the historic Square Courthouse. However, if you are trying so hard to pretend you don’t have depression, it can be hard to enjoy anything. Talk to a therapist in Oxford today.

Mental Wellness Specialties: Stress, AnxietyDepressionADHD
8 years offering treatment
Hi, I'm glad you're here! I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in Mississippi with 6.5 years of experience providing direct mental health and behavioral counseling. I have worked with individuals ages six through adult with a variety of behavioral/mental health presenting issues such as: anxiety, depression, concentration/ADHD, anger, phase-of-life problems, relationship and family issues, sexuality concerns, and many more. My goal is to always provide a safe, respect-filled environment to build therapeutic relationships. My experience is varied, as I have provided individual, group and family therapy throughout my career as a therapist. I feel strongly that our belief systems impact how a person thinks about, experiences, and reacts to activating events within their life. In turn, how those activating events were experienced impacts the individual's responses to their world moving forward. I believe that all individuals are heavily influenced by our closest relationships, communities, environment, systems (family, work, school, church, etc) and personal experiences. I strive to treat the therapeutic relationship, and you, with compassion, respect, and warmth. My therapy style and approach is influenced by Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy primarily as well as Person-Centered Therapy. It is extremely important to me to be able to collaborate with you to tailor my treatment and approach to what works best for you. No one knows you better than you do, so setting and realizing your goals is a team-effort. Making the step to begin therapy can cause a jumble of emotions that may range from fear and anxiety to excitement and hopefulness. Whatever feelings you may be experiencing, please know that they are normal. I know taking this step takes courage, and I am here to empower and support you on your journey.

I am a licensed professional counselor for the State of MS.
