Great to meet you!

Hello! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker based in Tennessee. I have been practicing clinical social work for 6 years. I have worked in private practice settings, hospitals, acute and long-term mental health facilities, and correctional institutions. I see both children, adults, and families. All of these experiences have allowed to learn how help individuals from every walk of life.

My approach to therapy

No matter the age, I help clients navigate through life whether you are struggling with anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, or relationship issues. I also specialize in teen and men's issues. I offer a place where you will feel safe, comfortable, and free of judgment. I use Cognitive Behavior Therapy, Trauma-Focused, and Solution-Focused Therapy.

What you can expect from me

It's not easy to ask for help, but it is worth the time to see how life can be more manageable. I specialize in therapy and support for men that have experienced trauma at work, home, or in childhood. I enjoy helping couples see the light at the end of the tunnel and learn to enjoy each other again. We can work through life challenges together to get through and ensure that you live your best life. We will learn a little about each other and build a relationship that will allow me to help you reach your goals.
