3-5 fluffy sentences here aren't going to give you enough to make a good choice in something as important as selecting your therapist. I recommend you reach out to me and let's chat for 10 minutes before you decide. I am located in Clarksville and work with clients in their own homes or via telehealth in the state of TN.

I'm a bilingual English/Spanish therapist that serves individuals, couples and families of all ages dealing with anxiety, depression, trauma, and other issues related to day to day life.

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.
