I am accepting new clients and would love to talk more about how I can help you with whatever challenges you are facing. Life can be tough but having someone who is trained to help you navigate all of life’s twists and turns is invaluable. Whether you are struggling with seemingly small issues or larger life changing issues-if it matters to YOU it matters to ME.

Knoxville Counseling Services, PLLC is the premier private practice in Knoxville. We are a group of independent therapists dedicated to working with you and your family in order to improve your emotional health, your relationships, and your lives. Are you struggling with anxiety, depression, relationships, or self-esteem? Are you adjusting to major transitions in your life (e.g., new baby, just moved to Knoxville, new job, trying to figure out what career you want, divorce)? Do you have a child or teenager who is struggling with behavioral or emotional issues? We have therapists to help you with all of these areas, and more.

I enjoy working with people from all walks of life, encouraging them and giving them hope. I believe in balanced living and looking at how issues are affecting us emotionally, mentally, physically and spiritually. I believe in looking at things from a Christian Worldview but work with people from all viewpoints. I used to work in the corporate world so can identify with people from all walks of life and many different life experiences. I started counseling individuals in Florida as an intern many years ago. Graduated in 1997 and am licensed both in Florida and Tennessee. My family moved to Tennessee 16 years ago, we love Tennessee.

My goal is to provide my clients with a safe non-judgemental space to grow emotionally. Together we are able to create individual unique plans that allow individuals and families to function in their desired capacity.

Life throws curve balls that often knock us down, but painful and difficult experiences do not have to define you. Instead, these experiences can be a starting point to creating a more authentic, connected version of yourself. Offering a space where my clients feel seen, heard, and valued is a tremendous honor and one of my greatest passions as a clinician. With the Neurosequential Model of Therapeutics as a guide, my sessions utilize a variety of evidence-based models that are customized to meet the needs and goals of the adults, children, couples, families, and adolescents I serve.

Now accepting new clients! I am passionate about working with clients of all ages and walks of life. Whether you're a young person navigating the challenges of adolescence and young adulthood or an individual at a later stage of life I am here to support you on your journey. Creating a safe and welcoming environment is at the heart of my practice. I want each person who walks through my door to feel heard, understood, and supported, regardless of their age or life circumstances. Each stage of life brings its own unique experiences and struggles, and my goal is to help you navigate through them with grace and resilience.

I understand reaching out for help takes courage and bravery. In my practice, I hope to create a safe and empathetic space for all struggling with life’s challenges. I am passionate about helping clients reach balance in life after difficult events. I have 7 years experience providing therapy to adults and children who have experienced traumatic experiences.

Healing begins when we learn to understand ourselves. I help adults, children, adolescents and families shine a compassionate light on their thoughts, feelings, and patterns of relating to find new possibilities beyond the habitual survival strategies that have helped you to defend against stress and trauma. Therapy can give you the tools and awareness to make the changes that you want to make while you learn to experience a greater sense of safety and resilience, recover from difficult experiences, find more acceptance, get your needs met with more clarity, balance connection with boundaries, and live life with greater meaning.

Sometimes you just need a place to be yourself where you can feel seen and understood. You might be struggling personally or in your relationships (or both!), but you've come to the right place.
