Adults Therapists in Knoxville, TN

It takes courage to do what you are doing, and I commend you for taking the first step. Fear, anxiety, grief, and depression are emotions that we all experience. They aren’t unusual, but at times they can feel like a runaway train, stealing your thoughts, time, energy and happiness. I work together with my clients on managing and regulating these overwhelming thoughts and emotions, and help them to draw from their own strength to live a life that’s purposeful and fulfilling according to their values. You are the expert on you, and I will be there to give insight, feedback, and offer new perspectives and coping skills.

People tell me that I’m easy to talk to. But I don’t just listen. I help you find out how the ways you are thinking or interacting are causing you problems, and I offer observations and possible solutions. You and I collaborate to figure out what solutions may fit for you, and how to make them work in your life. Together we build an understanding of what you are going through, and together we tackle the issues. Rather than relying on manualized “copy and paste” therapeutic approaches, my suggestions and observations are based on an in-depth understanding of you and your situation.

Hey there, thanks for clicking my page! I'm Jess, I prefer they/them pronouns, and I'm passionate about providing affirming, competent and ethical care to the clients that I see. My clinical focus is anxiety, depression, trauma and grief, and the demographics of my clients are mainly adults in the LGBTQIA+ community. Clients that have the most success with me come into therapy with an open heart and open mind, and engage with me in a collaboration for their overall health and mental wellbeing. These clients are willing to try new things but are also not afraid to tell me if something is not working.
