I work best with folks who want therapy to feel active and focused. If you're looking for real progress, not just a place to vent, we might be a good fit. My approach is structured, collaborative, and goal-oriented. My practice’s motto, “where action meets insight,” reflects my belief that therapy isn't just about the one hour a week we meet. Real change happens in the hours you’re living your life outside of session. Our work will focus on building insight, using practical tools, and making meaningful shifts that last beyond therapy.
I specialize in trauma, OCD, and chronic pain. These issues often share a common thread: a nervous system that’s become overprotective. When the brain misreads safety as danger, it can create cycles of fear, avoidance, and pain. I use evidence-based approaches to help you break these patterns and support long-term relief.
Scared to reach out? That's normal! Therapy is about leaning into discomfort for growth. We'll face those "what ifs" together. Call, text, or email me; I'll make getting started as simple as possible. For residents of Knox and surrounding counties worried about cost, ask me about the Treatment Access Bank program.
