About
Attention couples: Do you want to feel heard and understood by your partner? Do you want to learn how to work through conflict? I help couples learn how to communicate through problems with compassion and empathy so that they can feel more connected. In addition to my work with couples, I also work with individuals who experience panic, anxiety, ocd, betrayal, and grief/loss. If you are looking for a non judgmental space to heal and move forward please reach out for a free consultation. Weekend intensives are available upon request. Please note that I'm not able to accept insurance at this time. In therapy, we’ll explore how your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors are affecting you or your relationship. From there, we’ll create a personalized treatment plan tailored to your needs. Using evidence-based approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and the Gottman Method, I will help you develop new coping skills to enhance your well being. You don't have to go through life's challenges alone. For the past 8 years, I have helped individuals and couples find a better way to cope and build a life worth living. I invite you to reach out for a free consultation phone call if this sounds what you are looking for. I am licensed in both LA and MS. Follow me on Instagram at jb counseling gulf coast. Specialties: Specializing in Couples, Relationships, Highly Anxious Individuals, and Grief/Loss. Let's work together to find solutions to help you move forward. Credentials & Experience: I am trained in Gottman Method Couples Therapy Level 3, Accelerated Resolution Therapy, Cognitive Behavior Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy. I am also a Certified Grief Educator.
"Dialectical Behavior Therapy and Cognitive Behavior Therapy provide the tools and skills to help you build a life worth living. Accelerated Resolution Therapy is another great tool that can help replace any negative or traumatic memories/images that are in your mind. Feel free to ask questions about the type of therapy that is best for you."
