Waitlist for new clients
I work with adults, teens, preteens, and children starting at 6 years old. Many of my clients are looking for coping skills to aid with mood disorders, conduct issues, or impulse-control disorders, such as anxiety, depression, behavior problems, and ADHD. Some want to work through trauma or grief. Others have less common problems. However, all are looking to make a change, but they do not know how to or do not want to do it on their own.

Knoxville, TN 37921
Waitlist for new clients
I love to combine mindfulness, somatic experiences and EMDR (Eye-movement desensitization and reprocessing) to help clients process their trauma and reclaim their life.
Life is not easy. But it is especially hard for those who have experienced any level of trauma. Whether it is childhood trauma, sexual, physical or emotional trauma or little "t" trauma, all of it affects how we function on a daily basis. Trauma limits our choices and makes it seem impossible to make healthier choices and find the path we want to live on. If trauma is not something you identify with, but you are struggling with anxiety, depression, or a lack of joy in your life and you have struggled to figure out where that comes from, I would love to help you identify the core problem.

Waitlist for new clients
As a Certified Integrative Mental Health Professional (CIMHP), I use an evidence-based, whole-person approach that combines CBT, mindfulness, trauma-informed care, and somatic practices.
Do you feel like you're carrying a lot on the outside while internally feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, chronic stress, emotional exhaustion, or difficult life experiences? If this sounds familiar, you're not alone. Therapy provides a space to slow down, gain a deeper understanding of yourself, and identify the patterns that may be keeping you stuck. Together, we'll build practical strategies that support nervous system regulation, emotional resilience, and meaningful, lasting change. I believe meaningful healing comes from understanding the whole person—not just the symptoms—so you can move forward with greater clarity and ease.

Knoxville, TN 37923
I work to build trusting, safe, non-judgmental therapeutic relationships, using the core principles and skills from Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) such as mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotional regulation and interpersonal effectiveness.
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.

While I work with all sorts of clients, I have carved out a niche working with people who are going through life transitions. These transitions might look like going through a divorce or major career change. As a therapist, I rely on my background in systems theory to help look at different areas of your life, and help understand how they all have lead you to where you are today. I use a strengths based approach to help you rebuild yourself into the person you want to be, and to avoid getting stuck in the problems of the past. A good client fit for me is someone who wants change, even if they are not sure how to do that yet.
