Becoming a counselor was a mid-career change for me, the result of being profoundly dissatisfied with many choices I had made in life in response to things both within and outside my control.
I realized that I had to take meaningful action to get outside of myself—and that meant connecting with and helping other people, especially those seeking to find meaning, purpose, and hope in life. I'm happy to say that I am now able to do that every day and I look forward to meeting new clients who want to start their own similar journey.

Personally tailored work combining EMDR, somatic and depth psychology, neurobiology, meditation, Jungian sand tray, parts work, and spirituality or religion to help you heal your brain, body & spirit.
You can change your neural pathways, so that the groove that was always being triggered is now new. The mind and body can relax when you learn to be with whatever the moment brings without reacting from defenses and long held beliefs. Equally important is learning to have joy and success in life, which can't happen with our many unconscious parts leading.

I have specialized in trauma, OCD, spirituality, grief, anxiety, and attachment, among other areas.
We all have complex lives and stories, and no one should be made to walk alone. For some, their issues are rooted in a messy family history, painful attachment wounds or core beliefs that have been harmful. Others may feel stuck in a challenging season due to a situational stressor, a big life transition or the sting of grief. There are also those who have carried the weight of secret struggles or inescapable thought patterns for years. Perhaps you can relate. Whatever your story is, you deserve to tell it and to have the presence of a safe person sitting with you in it. I would be honored to hear it in your own words!

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.

Then I trained as a psychotherapist, learning how Christian spirituality and evidence-based therapy can work together to bring lasting change.
I love working with people who find themselves in or near spiritual crisis. Maybe you’ve begged God to heal you or free you from addiction, but it’s been years and heaven feels silent. Maybe you’re questioning the beliefs you grew up with, and that inner voice warns that if your faith slips, you’ll be lost. Or maybe you feel powerless against dark forces or patterns that won’t let go, no matter how much you pray. You’ve tried Scripture, surrender, and self-control—yet still feel stuck. So where do you turn when prayer alone doesn’t bring peace?

Do you feel: sad, angry, afraid, lonely, powerless, stuck, or numb? Emotions are messages from the deep Self that something needs your attention.

My goal as a therapist is to create a safe space in which we can explore the particular areas in your life that are asking for your attention. This process can lead to new insights and perspectives as to what changes might be helpful for you.

Spirituality Therapists
What should I expect from therapy that incorporates a focus on spirituality?
Spirituality can mean different things to different individuals, depending on their experiences, beliefs, and life histories. Some individuals focus on strengthening their belief system, while others experience spirituality in secular ways, such as through meditation, yoga, or by spending time in nature. Clients can expect a therapist to help guide and grow their spirituality through any of these techniques, encouraging the individual to cope with the challenges they face and develop strategies to build resilience and purpose to improve their outlook in life.
What are the most common treatments that include spirituality?
There are several treatments that incorporate spirituality. Mindfulness-based cognitive therapy (MBCT) helps a person examine and reframe their negative thoughts and behaviors. Acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) focuses on emotional acceptance and psychological flexibility. Existential therapy is most often used to address anxiety, depression, grief, loneliness, apathy, despair, questions of identity, and feelings of purposelessness and existential dread. Transpersonal therapy focuses on a client’s spirituality and meaning in life and may incorporate techniques including meditation, visualization, hypnotherapy, dream analysis, and or breathwork.
Can therapy incorporating spirituality help atheistic or agnostic individuals?
Yes. For non-believers, spirituality can offer benefits including a greater sense of connection to others and to the natural world. An interest in spirituality may also spur individuals to pursue mindfulness practices, or to contemplate their purpose in life and how to achieve it.
How effective is spirituality as a therapeutic remedy?
Research suggests spirituality is generally beneficial for individuals. It is correlated with better health habits, such as less substance use, and an improved capacity to cope with stress and other mental health challenges. Increased spirituality can lead individuals to become more empathic and less materialistic, as well.
