Let's Connect (423) 380-0624

Life can take unexpected turns, sometimes leaving us feeling distant—from our partner, our families, our friends, or even ourselves. You might be wondering, "What changed?" or "How did we get here?" Whether you're navigating that uncertainty on your own or within a relationship, you're not alone. Even small shifts can feel overwhelming when connection starts to feel out of reach. I believe that healing and reconnection are possible—not just within ourselves, but between each other.

In therapy, my goal is to offer a steady, safe space where you can explore your experience with compassion and honesty. I’m committed to open, affirming conversations where you feel seen, supported, and respected. My approach is culturally sensitive, trauma-informed, and attuned to how our bodies carry the impact of what we've lived through.

Wholeness—in yourself and in your relationships—is possible, even if it looks different than before. It takes courage to reach out. If you feel like we’d be a good fit, I’d be honored to walk with you through this season.

I specialize in working on relational issues, particularly with couples. Couples navigating distance from one another need a space to figure out what they really need and how to communicate that. I often say "The relationship is the client, and I will be on your team to help you figure out how that can be its healthiest."
