Great to meet you!

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Tennessee. I am certified in perinatal mental health (PMH-C) and am passionate about working with clients throughout the perinatal period. With my background in both neuroscience and social work, I help clients understand how their brain works and how our environment, relationships, and physical well-being all influence mental health.

My approach to therapy

Many of my clients are looking to address the root cause of their presenting concerns. I really enjoy helping my clients better understand themselves and their unhelpful patterns so that they can overcome feeling down, anxious, and stuck. Topics that often come up in session include perfectionism, people-pleasing, and self-doubt. Interventions I often use are CBT, ACT, mindfulness, and self-compassion.

What you can expect from me

In our first session, I collaborate with my clients to identify their goals for therapy, and these goals will guide our work together. My clients can trust that I will always be warm and nonjudgmental, while also challenging them to achieve their goals.
