Great to meet you!

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in Tennessee with 18 years of professional experience. I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety/depression, trauma and abuse, motivation, self-esteem/confidence, and addiction. I work with individuals and couples. I have worked in several settings including outpatient, inpatient, school based, and disaster/crisis situations.

A bit about my approach to therapy

I work with my clients to create an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment. I specialize in treatment areas of EMDR, solution-focused, and CBT/trauma focused. Taking the first step to seeking a more fulfilling and happier life takes courage. I am here to support you in that process.

What you can expect from our first session

I always start with an introductory session, where you’ll have the opportunity to share your story and what you hope to achieve in therapy. We’ll work together to figure this out! I strive to create a warm, welcoming environment that allows you to feel comfortable sharing and being vulnerable, while also feeling secure. From there, we’ll work together in the sessions that follow to make these goals a reality for you.
