Great to meet you!

My ideal clients are adults navigating anxiety, grief, relational wounds, and the quiet weight of not feeling like enough. They’ve often spent years managing alone — through loss, difficult relationships, or a life that hasn’t unfolded the way they expected. Some come needing immediate relief from symptoms that have become unmanageable. Others come ready to understand themselves more deeply, even when that feels uncertain. Most need both.

My approach to therapy

I specialize in trauma, attachment wounds, and grief, and offer individual therapy via secure telehealth across Tennessee. My work is grounded in psychodynamic principles and EMDR — approaches that go beneath the surface to address not just what’s happening, but why.

What you can expect from me

The first session is a chance to begin getting oriented and to see how it feels to work together. We’ll talk about what’s bringing you to therapy now, what you’re hoping for, and any questions or concerns you have about the process.

There’s no expectation to share everything right away. We’ll move at a pace that feels comfortable, with attention to what feels supportive. The first session is as much about understanding your experience as it is about helping you decide whether therapy with me feels like a good fit.
