Therapists in Knoxville, TN
I work with clients who may be struggling with anxiety related to relationships with themselves and others. I often use an integration of Emotional and Solution Focused Therapy. With these two modalities, but not limited to, this will be a space where we honor you as you are and we will identify and work through emotional fears that are making you feel stuck, while equipping you with tools that give you meaningful change and a more secure bond with yourself and others.
My goal for each of my clients is to find resilience in the face of what feels frightening, create new meaning, improve relationships with self and others.

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.

Do you feel: sad, angry, afraid, lonely, powerless, stuck, or numb? Emotions are messages from the deep Self that something needs your attention. It may be a relationship, a past trauma, a lack of living your true purpose, or simply increasing threats to your personal health or well being, as well as that of our planet. 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.
