Great to meet you!

Hi, I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor with an MHSP designation, based in Tennessee, where I provide individual therapy to adults navigating a wide range of life challenges. My approach is warm, collaborative, direct, and often infused with humor—because sometimes, a little lightness can go a long way in the healing process.

I’m here to get to know your story. Whether you're struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship concerns, or simply feeling stuck in a life transition, you don’t have to navigate it alone. I offer a safe and supportive space where we can explore what’s going on beneath the surface, develop new perspectives, and move toward the life you want to build.

At the core of my work is a humanistic philosophy: I believe in your capacity for change, resilience, and healing. Therapy isn’t about “fixing” you—it’s about creating space for you to reconnect with yourself, your values, and your strengths.

If you’re ready to take that next step, I’d be honored to walk alongside you.

My approach to therapy

I draw from a variety of evidence-based practices—such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, and trauma-informed approaches—tailoring each session to meet your unique needs. Together, we’ll create a treatment plan that supports your growth, insight, and self-understanding.

What you can expect from me

The outcome of therapy depends on the goals you set and the work you do—but you don’t have to do it alone. I’m here to support you, challenge you, and walk alongside you on the path forward.
