As a licensed counselor, I am committed to providing quality counseling services to the East TN community and Tennessee virtually. I have been licensed in Tennessee since 2015. I have worked in mental health since 2008. I had the wonderful opportunity from 2012-2016 to work under a licensed psychologist learning the ins and outs of a holistic approach of person centered therapy. Starting in 2016 I opened my own private practice and have been serving solely in that capacity since 2016. I offer faith based services only when asked to do so. I accept people from all walks of life and believe that everyone deserves dignity and respect.

Life comes with highs and lows—joy, pain, change, and uncertainty. If you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or simply seeking clarity, you're not alone. I support clients through trauma, emotional regulation, boundary-setting, and increased awareness of patterns that no longer serve them. My approach is collaborative and compassionate, helping you navigate challenges through your unique lens. Together, we’ll create space for healing, growth, and a life that aligns with who you truly are.

Why go to therapy? Therapy can be an incredible tool to help guide us in any stage of life. As a therapist, I seek to create an open and trusting space for you to be heard, to better understand yourself and to develop strategies that help you to navigate life with a healthy mindset. Services are guided by your individual needs, as healing comes in many forms. The therapeutic strategies that I use are guided by a trauma informed lens that allows for the use of strategies beyond only traditional "talk therapy". Ie. somatic (body), movement, creative expression, play and much more!

I work with adults navigating various stages of life, including those experiencing life transitions, stress, or emotional challenges. My approach begins by understanding a person’s early developmental experiences and how they connect to present-day patterns. I collaborate with clients to set clear goals, beginning each session with a check-in and allowing space to process current events. I incorporate tools that promote growth outside of sessions, such as journaling prompts, reflective questions, or personal challenges tailored to each client.
