Prior to beginning clinical practice, I taught high school students in Metro Nashville where I was fortunate to learn from the resiliency of young people. This invaluable time eventually lead me to pursuing counseling. My clinical experience has primarily been within community centers serving diverse populations, which has informed my perspective as a culturally-competent, dynamic practitioner. Areas of clinical focus are academic issues, addiction, anxiety, codependency, depression, LGBTQ+ identities, life transitions, PTSD, and trauma.

Talk therapy is not enough. My approach to therapy focuses on combining cognitive and somatic therapies to strengthen connection to self, and reduce the blocks to healing. The goal is to connect to your authenticity, and have the freedom to find positive and affirming ways to enjoy relationships with self and others. The goal is to experience life without shutting down or disconnecting, and/or using destructive behaviors to reduce pain and distress. Attaining the freedom to choose what you want for yourself, begins with taking the first step.

It's time to reach your full potential. I offer holistic therapy that focuses on your goals and quick solutions to address current problems as well as changing long entrenched behaviorial patterns. Therapy will assist you in gaining insight from your past, healing traumas at the root and making long term changes for the future. I believe in client centered/relational therapy in a supportive environment. I hold a Master's in Clinical Psychology from Pepperdine University. I am also a trained and certified Hypnotherapist by The National Guild of Hypnotists. I work from several therapeutic modalities depending on the individual.
