With years of experience serving both individuals and family systems, I have addressed a vast array of symptoms related to mental health concerns. Some of these have consisted of anxiety, depression, mood dysregulation, substance abuse, trauma, and family conflict. Laurell K. Hamilton states "There are wounds that never show on the body that are deeper and more hurtful than anything that bleeds". These wounds can develop from both our environmental influences or even within our own minds. Sometimes these wounds can be ignored for weeks, months, years, and even between generations.

If you need a Substance Abuse Disorder Assessment or Alcohol & Drug Education/Counseling as required by the court or your work place, I can help with that also. If you are a parent who is fearful about your child's choices, I am here to help. In any of these situations, think of me as a professional who has been in the field for 18 years. I am equipped to help reduce your suffering just by offering you understanding, compassion, knowledge and guidance.

Are you struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, relationships, disordered eating? Are you adjusting to major transitions in your life, such as moving away for college. Do you have a child or teenager who is struggling with behavioral or emotional issues? You aren’t alone and I can help.

If you are feeling stuck, hopeless, experiencing lack of motivation, feeling disconnected and isolated from the world and your relationships, I want to support you in regaining trust in yourself, others and in life. I am a trauma certified therapist holding a certificate in trauma treatment from The University of Tennessee, Knoxville. I support clients through building skills for coping with PTSD symptoms, life stressors and triggers that may impact effective daily functioning and self esteem.

I find that I work best with those who are repelled by an extremely clinical-feeling approach; I'm a person too, just like you. I decorate my office in such a way to feel as little like sitting in a doctor's office as possible and wear band shirts to work. I believe therapy shouldn't feel hierarchical, nor alienating. You and I are on the same level here. We’re collaborating to help you reach a point in your life where you feel stable and content. I’m not here to judge you or tell you what to do, but rather to work as a friendly voice to help you connect missing pieces and wade through life’s challenges with more confidence.

Now accepting new clients! I am passionate about working with clients between the ages of 12-25. I am committed to creating a safe and welcoming environment where young people can feel heard, understood, and supported. Adolescence and young adulthood can be challenging and complex times, filled with unique experiences and struggles. My goal is to help my clients navigate these challenges and develop the skills and resilience they need to thrive.

I support folks longing for greater health, wellness and wholeness through somatic oriented psychotherapy. I provide a supportive atmosphere where you can feel free to listen within yourself without any pressures or judgment. I will help you to welcome whatever comes, and support you as you discover steps of change you want to take in your life, opening to more and more of your authentic soul self.

Breaking the stigma of mental health begins by choosing to be healthy for yourself. Trusting someone is difficult, especially when struggling with mental health, because it makes us feel vulnerable. Please know vulnerability is not a weakness. My passion is helping, including creating a comfortable space that allows individuals to be their authentic selves. We all have a story that includes various experiences. I enjoy helping individuals to gain an understanding of their stories to provide them with clarity and empowerment. My experience includes domestic violence, trauma, anxiety, depression, and personality disorders.

For all the parents out there that start their day worrying about their child's future, concerned they might be missing something beyond "defiance" or "distractibility" when it's a struggle just to get them out the door for school; and for all the teens who have endured the consequences of virtual learning only to now deal with new insecurities around grade pressure or social acceptances, there is a place for you!

Do you, your child or teen feel overly stressed, anxious, irritable, depressed, lonely, scared, misunderstood, unheard, guilty, or ashamed? Maybe you or your child are struggling with sleep, socializing, concentration, going to work or school, or painful memories coming up into mind or heart? Is it hard to connect or trust others? Does every day seem like a fight just to achieve everyday tasks? Now is the time to stand up and break the chains of suffering. You have the capability to feel relief, peace, joy, and stability with evidenced-based treatment from a therapist that is dedicated to walk you from suffering into freedom.

Too often the strain we put on ourselves to "get it right", or "have it all together", leaves us feeling more pressured, confused, and defeated than we started. I believe in creating a space where you can better come to know yourself, and feel empowered to live the life you want. I relish in helping my clients develop self-esteem, employ coping skills, and authentically express themselves to find confidence in their own voice, and move towards goals and actions that align with the person they want to be.

Hi there! I specialize in working with adults who have had difficult relationship experiences throughout their lives. Maybe you had a difficult childhood. Maybe you struggle with your current romantic relationship. Maybe you have a difficult time trusting yourself or others. Maybe your relationship is struggling to survive the impact of old wounds. Maybe you do not know how to find relief from the pain of the past.

I am sorry but I am not currently taking new client appointments. I encourage you to take a moment to think about what you are looking for and what you need. Maybe you know what needs to change or have no idea. My hope would be to help you figure that out. That might mean I work with you, your family or children.

Making the decision to seek therapy is not an easy one, and choosing the right therapist to meet your needs can be even more daunting! As a licensed clinical psychologist, I have had the great fortune of supporting individuals from all walks of life who are working to make peace with their past, to connect with their present, and to build hope about their future. I strive to provide tailored support for my clients as they address issues like anxiety, depression, addiction, past trauma, communication issues, anger management, symptoms of serious mental illness, adjustment and decision-making issues, and relationship problems.
