One of the most powerful parts of being human is our ability to heal and grow—especially after trauma. I help clients struggling with anxiety, relationship issues, chronic stress, complex PTSD, childhood trauma, and attachment trauma create lasting meaningful change. Many clients are high-functioning but internally struggling with overthinking, people-pleasing, emotional burnout, or feeling stuck in unhealthy relationship patterns.Others are working through childhood emotional neglect,deeply rooted emotional patterns, or unresolved trauma that continues to impact their daily life. I provide trauma-informed therapy in Knoxville, TN.
As an AMFT under supervision I offer a collaborative, direct, and supportive space where you can safely explore deeper patterns while also being challenged toward growth. Using EMDR and attachment-focused, trauma-informed approach, I help clients process past experiences, break patterns, and feel more grounded, confident, and emotionally regulated.
Healing is not one-size-fits-all, and your therapy experience will be tailored to your unique story, needs, and goals. Starting therapy can feel intimidating, but you don’t have to do it alone. If you’re ready to begin therapy or want to learn more about how trauma informed therapy can help, I would be honored to walk alongside you in your healing journey.
