Trauma and PTSD therapists & psychiatrists in Chattanooga, TN

I’m a therapist based in Memphis who works with high-achieving women navigating anxiety, burnout, identity transitions, and complex relationship dynamics. Many of my clients are successful on the outside and exhausted on the inside. They are often the responsible one, the strong one, the reliable one — and quietly overwhelmed.

My work is grounded in Internal Family Systems (IFS), an evidence-based model that helps clients understand and heal the different “parts” of themselves — the driven part, the critical part, the anxious part, the part that feels unseen. I am Level 1 trained in IFS and integrate attachment-informed and trauma-responsive care into my practice.

Hi and welcome! I am a licensed clinical psychologist in Tennessee, New York, and PSYPact states. I have extensive experience working with a variety of presenting issues, but am passionate about working with individuals on how they show up in relationships, particularly when that feels difficult, confusing, or overwhelming. This might look like noticing unhelpful patterns in your relationships but struggling to change it. Perhaps you have a hard time speaking up or setting boundaries, or become easily irritated with others and later feeling upset with yourself. If this is you, we would likely be a strong fit!

I specialize in working with parents, law enforcement and military professionals, and trans/GNC populations.

I am currently providing virtual sessions only.

Please note I am no longer accepting couples therapy clients.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC-MHSP) with more than 15 years of experience in the behavioral health field. My career began in residential treatment in 2010, and I have since worked in residential, community-based, school-based, juvenile justice, and outpatient settings. Since 2018, I have provided counseling services to adolescents and their families, and since 2024, I have worked with adults facing a variety of mental health concerns.

I specialize in helping adolescents, adults, and families navigate anxiety, depression, trauma, stress, life transitions, relationship challenges, behavioral concerns, and difficulties related to school, work, and family dynamics. I also have extensive experience supporting youth and families involved with Juvenile Justice and the Department of Children's Services.

My therapeutic approach is compassionate, collaborative, and grounded in evidence-based practices. I utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Trauma-Focused CBT (TF-CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), family therapy, and other interventions tailored to each client's unique needs and goals.

I strive to create a warm, nonjudgmental environment where clients feel safe, heard, and supported. Whether you are a teen struggling with anxiety, a family facing communication challenges, or an adult navigating stress, trauma, depression, relationship concerns, or life transitions, I will work alongside you to identify goals, build on your strengths, and develop practical skills for lasting change.

My goal is to help clients gain insight, build resilience, and move forward with greater confidence and hope. I would be honored to support you on your journey toward healing and personal growth.
