Great to meet you!

Allow me to join you on your journey to improved mental health as I work with you in processing through your gender dysphoria, PTSD, ADHD, Depression, Anxiety, Grief & Loss, and Life Stress. I received my BSW and MSW from East Tennessee State University. I bring over seven years of experience to our work together.

My approach to therapy

I use a variety of evidenced based techniques in assisting you. I am not the expert on you; you are the expert on you. I will listen to your need, wants, desires, issues, and concerns. I have completed training with the World Professional Association of Transgender Health with the end goal of being a certified gender dysphoria therapist.

What you can expect from me

Our first session will include your intake and discussions around your issues, needs, and goals for your treatment. I will do my best to provide you with a warm, welcoming environment. If you have any issues or concerns with our work, please communicate that with me, so it can be addressed.
