Therapists in Alcoa, TN

It can be a difficult task to find the right therapist and the options online can feel incredibly overwhelming. I understand that it's not easy to allow yourself to be vulnerable with a stranger about some of life's most difficult challenges. By looking for a therapist, you've already made the hardest step, the first one. Often things in our lives can leave us feeling alone, unheard, or confused. It takes a lot of courage to admit that we need help sometimes and even more courage to ask for it.

Sometimes life is more challenging than we are able to handle without outside help and guidance. "What do I do to feel better?" and "How do I fix this?" are questions you may find yourself asking. Having the right tools to manage and overcome life’s obstacles is essential. I am here to help you build the tool set to handle these oppositions. Having a double master's in School Counseling and Mental Health Counseling, I have acquired a rare skill set designed to reach individuals and families both in the school system and out. I am eager to be a part of your healing journey.

I enjoying working with clients who are ready to get back to their optimal level of functioning. We all get in ruts and go through hard times. My goal is to help my clients figure out how to gain skills to get past what they are going through currently and be able to tackle any issues in the future as well.

If your in a current struggle or if you are beginning to see a pattern in your self, of familiar circumstances and you desire freedom. I would look forward to the opportunity to to explore your options and assist you in changes that you will be willing to make.

Is life hard and your heart hurting ? Are you struggling ? Do you need relief? Has your family suffered from trauma, loss, change, or heartache? Are you a Veteran struggling? Is your marriage hard? Is your teenager struggling? Are you in professional ministry with no safe place to express the difficulties of ministry. Do you feel depressed after a major life event? I would love to help you or your family!

I see individuals ages 8-26. I offer individual and family therapy sessions. My sessions are very unique in that I allow a place for kiddos to be kiddos. My favorite part of my job is when a client tells me, "I never thought therapy could be like this." or "This makes so much sense." Kiddos are in a state of development that can be either extremely scary or exciting. What makes the difference is when they and loved ones understand this process on a cognitive, emotional, and physiological level. Then behaviors and responses become more clear and how to handle them becomes more effective.
