About

Hi! I am a licensed psychologist living in Mississippi with over 20 years of experience in the field of psychology. I have an active PsyPact license which allows me to provide services via Telehealth to clients in 40+ states. Although most of my clinical experience has been working with children and families, I am passionate about helping to clarify diagnostic concerns related to autism for an adult who has struggled throughout their life with social interactions, communication, and/or other autism characteristics. I understand that undiagnosed or untreated neuro-developmental disorders, such as autism, place an individual at an exponentially higher risk of developing anxiety, depression, and other mental health concerns. As such, I am eager to help you find answers and clarity for your concerns related to autism.

Education & Licensure
PhD in Psychology from The University of Southern Mississippi; Masters of Clinical Psychology from Mississippi State University; Bachelors in Psychology from The University of Southern Mississippi
Treatment Approach
What motivated you to specialize in working with autistic adults?

My brother was diagnosed with autism almost 40 years ago. As decades passed, I feel like my understanding of autism has grown with the psychology profession. I am grateful that my unique personal and professional growth has led me to Prosper Health. I strongly believe in the services that are provided to the neurodivergent community and look forward to helping you on your journey.

How do you bring a strengths-based, affirming approach to your client work?

I understand the importance of identifying one's strengths and building on them in a productive and affirming way. Supporting autistic individuals on their journey to find answers and explore/develop individual strengths is one of my greatest passions.
