Great to meet you!

For the past seven years, I have had the privilege of working with individuals navigating trauma, anxiety, depression, addiction, and other life challenges. As a Licensed Professional Counselor–Mental Health Service Provider (LPC-MHSP) in Tennessee, with a Master’s degree in Counseling, I am passionate about creating a safe, supportive space where clients feel heard, understood, and empowered.

My approach to therapy

My approach to therapy is collaborative and focused on helping you better understand yourself, develop healthy coping skills, and move toward meaningful healing. I am trained in EMDR and Brainspotting, two therapeutic approaches that can help individuals process difficult experiences and the impact those experiences may have on the mind and body.

I also incorporate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills to help clients manage difficult emotions, build effective coping strategies, increase self-awareness, and develop a greater sense of safety and confidence within themselves.

What you can expect from me

I believe healing is not about forgetting the past—it is about learning how to move forward without allowing the past to define your future. My goal is to empower, encourage, and educate you as you work toward understanding your experiences, strengthening your emotional well-being, and creating a life that feels more fulfilling and authentic.
