Stressed? Tired? Can’t seem to get ahead? Don't like yourself? Finding that sense of security and strength in the midst of changes, challenges, and relationships is difficult, and some feel that taking time to stop and reflect is impossible; yet often it is one of the most important steps in moving forward or getting unstuck. Stopping and working with a trained therapist can help facilitate change in meaningful and impactful ways. It can also help avoid a complete life derailment. I believe that the work I do with my clients is sacred, which is why I employee some of the most up to date and clinically validated treatment techniques.

Welcome! Getting started in therapy can be scary, confusing, overwhelming, and so challenging. Whether this is the first or one hundredth page you've looked at, I think it is brave and remarkable that you are trying and I am honored that you are here. My primary goal as a therapist is to be a safe space for whatever my clients need; whether learning coping skills for anxiety, processing trauma, untangling identity, exploring faith, or something else entirely, I seek to provide a safe landing ground to do the hard work that is too big or scary to do alone or unsafe to do with others.

I want to hear your story. A basic human need, that oftentimes is neglected, is the need to be heard. Many of us grew up learning to “suck it up” and “move on.” We learned ways to repress our emotions. Our stories became limited by the learned rule that our feelings don’t matter unless they are happy or “good.” Our feelings find outlets in various ways including self-harm, substance abuse, and unhealthy relationships. I want to come alongside you and support your move towards health.

Life is filled with so much beauty and pain. We have all been through more than enough difficulties in the past few years. Perhaps what is currently challenging for you has also brought up wounds from your past. Perhaps you are overwhelmed and can no longer manage your emotions, thoughts, or behaviors. Perhaps you feel ashamed or alone or hopeless. I am here to help.

You’re discouraged that life isn’t measuring up to what you had hoped. You fake it so it seems like you have it all together, but you feel dissatisfied, hopeless, and empty. Feeling disconnected from the most important people in your life, and even from yourself has really taken its toll. I’m here to help. Life's hard and it’s easy to get caught up in the busyness, losing sight of what really matters. It becomes more characterized by depression, anxiety, conflict, loneliness, and addiction; more so than the peace and fulfillment that is desired. Distressing feelings like these is likely what brought you here, hoping for help!

HI! Thank you for checking out my profile. My goal as a therapist is to create a warm, safe, and supportive environment for my clients to identify and make the changes they are seeking in their lives.

I am dually licensed as a LCSW in both Tennessee and Florida, and I have over 25 years of experience in my field. I love sharing my knowledge of neuroscience to help my clients gain understanding, and to bridge the gap between what they know and what they feel.

My ideal client has a gut feeling that they are not living up to their potential in life. They refuse to give up until they see their dreams come true! These clients may struggle with anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, and addiction issues, but they also desire to set boundaries and overcome trauma and past hurts. Their goals are to learn more about their inner self and how to be fully transparent, spiritually balanced and emotionally present with those that are a part of their inner circle. Although I prefer counseling from a Christian counseling modality, I am open to working with anyone ready to make positive changes in life!

Sometimes our growing sense of self becomes derailed by traumatic life events, depression, anxiety, abuse, career shifts, or other life-altering transitions. I am passionate about joining those who are seeking to discover or rebuild their sense of self in order to build a life they love. If you feel confused about who you are or what has happened to you, I would love to journey with you toward owning your own story through compassion and empowerment. It is my belief that you are resilient and possess resources to move toward healing and integration of mind and body.

People come to a counselor for a myriad of reasons, but usually not without having tried to solve their problems or resolve their conflicts on their own. It can be difficult to admit that you need help and even harder still to ask for it. If the way forward seems unclear, then counseling may be the next step on your pathway to healing. My clients come with issues ranging from mood disorders (i.e. anxiety, depression) to trauma. They have personal and/or relationship struggles. What they have in common is that they want a change in their life.

You have tried everything: accountability groups, self-help books, church programs, and more. But nothing can shake the unwanted sexual behavior that has you by the ankle; things such as pornography, infidelity, emotional affairs, buying sex, and more. There is a division in your public and private life that is driving you crazy. You live a successful life in most areas of your life, you want out of living duplicitously. The way ahead seems unfamiliar and strange—these addictions have been around so long that it's hard to imagine something new and different. Exhaustion sets in as you continue to live in shame and secrecy.

Art has been integral to human development and expression. For centuries art has been used to explore, explain, and express both our emotions and the world around us. In art therapy sessions we utilize artistic mediums such as: watercolors, pencils, markers, paint, and clay as well as more traditional talk therapy elements to tackle complex feelings and emotions, to dive into self identity, decrease stress, and everything that sits in between. I enjoy working with LGBTQ+, religious trauma, Internal family systems, identity formation, and depressive and anxiety disorders. But I am open to anyone who is interested in art therapy

To navigate between locations within the same country, enter a new city or zip code into the search bar.

Learn more about how to find a therapist.

Is online therapy a good option?

Therapy conducted online can be just as effective as in-person therapy, as long as there is a strong alliance between the client and the therapist. To find a therapist who provides telehealth services to clients in your area, click “Online Therapy” on the directory homepage and search by your city or town or your zip code.

What’s the difference between a psychologist, a therapist, and a counselor?

Therapists, psychologists, and counselors are all licensed mental health professionals. In the US, psychologists have earned a doctoral degree. The terms “therapist” and “counselor” are used somewhat interchangeably, but generally therapists offer longer-term, mental health care, while counselors offer shorter-term care that may focus on one domain, such as marriage, career, or academic challenges.

What type of therapist is right for me?

Clients should consider factors such as insurance coverage and their primary reason(s) for seeking therapy to determine the type of professional best suited to their needs. Someone struggling with mental health challenges such as depression or anxiety, for example, may wish to seek out a clinical psychologist or therapist, while someone navigating career obstacles or marital upheaval may benefit from seeing a counselor who can offer short-term, targeted support.

Is everyone in the Psychology Today Therapy Directory a licensed therapist?

The Psychology Today directory lists providers who offer legitimate mental health services to the public, including psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers, and counselors. Many have been licensed by the country or state where they practice; providers whose license or primary credential has been verified by Psychology Today are signified by a “Verified” symbol. Some clinicians or organizations provide services for which their state or country does not offer licenses, such as pastoral counseling. They may be selectively included without the “Verified” seal.

What type of therapy is right for me?

The type of therapy best suited to a particular individual depends on several factors, including their primary reason for seeking therapy, their preferred timeline (some therapy types last for a set number of sessions, while others are open-ended), and their personality and preferences—some may prefer a more structured approach. For many individuals, multiple types of therapy could provide a good fit.

Is online therapy cheaper than in-person therapy?

Many therapists charge the same amount for online therapy as they do for in-person therapy—though clients may still find this cost-effective if it cuts down on their transportation costs. Health insurance plans often offer equivalent coverage for online and in-person therapy; indeed, in many places, they are legally required to do so. Text-based or on-demand therapy apps may be cheaper than traditional one-on-one psychotherapy; however, the practice may be less effective and is not likely to be covered by insurance.
