Great to meet you!

I provide compassionate, supportive therapy for children, preteens, teens, college-age students, adults, families. & couples navigating trauma, grief, anxiety, and difficult life experiences. If you’re feeling overwhelmed, anxious, emotionally exhausted, or stuck in patterns that continue to affect your relationships, work, or daily life, you don’t have to navigate it alone.

I work with individuals who have experienced sexual abuse, domestic violence, childhood abuse or neglect, grief & loss, car accidents, and other traumatic or overwhelming experiences. You may be experiencing anxiety, panic attacks, difficulty sleeping, persistent worry, irritability, dissociation, intense emotions, or difficulty feeling connected to yourself or others.and

My approach to therapy

Therapy can provide a safe and nonjudgmental space to process what you’ve been through, better understand your experiences, and develop healthier ways of coping. My approach is grounded in compassion, understanding, and respect for each person’s unique story and healing process.

My goal is to help you feel heard, supported, and empowered as you work toward greater emotional stability, healthier relationships, and a stronger connection with yourself. Together, we can work toward moving beyond simply surviving and toward feeling more secure, resilient, and connected.

I integrate evidence-based, trauma-informed approaches, including EMDR, TF-CBT, DBT, CBT, play therapy, mindfulness, and Family Systems Trauma Therapy.

Together, we will work to better understand your experiences, develop effective coping strategies, strengthen emotional regulation, and foster meaningful, lasting growth. My goal is to support you in feeling more grounded, empowered, and confident as you work toward greater stability, resilience, and overall well-being.

What you can expect from me

I provide in-person and telehealth therapy services throughout Tennessee, New Mexico, Illinois, and Mississippi, with flexible weekday, evening, and weekend availability.

I accept both self-pay and insurance, including Medicaid/TennCare.

To schedule a session, please call, text, or email me using the contact information provided on my profile or website.

In our initial session, we’ll explore what brings you to therapy and identify your goals. Together, we’ll create a personalized treatment plan based on your needs and priorities. Throughout therapy, we’ll focus on building coping skills, processing experiences, and developing tools to support healing, growth, and long-term well-being.
