Therapists in Knoxville, TN
Healing begins when we can understand ourselves and one another. I help individuals, couples, and families shine a compassionate light on their thoughts, feelings, and patterns of relating to find new possibilities beyond the habitual survival strategies that have helped you to defend against stress and trauma. Therapy can give you the tools and awareness to make the changes that you want to make while you learn to experience a greater sense of safety and resilience, recover from difficult experiences, find more acceptance, get your needs met with more clarity, balance connection with boundaries, and live life with greater meaning.

Hi, I’m really glad you’re here! Starting therapy takes courage, and my hope is to offer a space where you can feel grounded, understood, and safe to explore what’s been weighing on you. I work from a trauma-informed, person-centered approach, always honoring that healing looks different for everyone and that growth rarely happens in a straight line. If you’re ready to take the next step toward healing, I would be honored to walk alongside you in that journey.

Something brought you here. Maybe you’ve been carrying something for a long time. Maybe you’re exhausted and not sure what to call it. Maybe you just know something needs to change. I work with people at all of those entry points.
My approach is built around what you actually need. There’s no cookie cutter path to healing. For some people that means building coping skills, mindfulness practices, and tools for managing symptoms. For others it means going deeper — understanding the patterns, history, and parts of yourself that shaped how you experience the world. Often it’s both, and it shifts over time.

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!

You might find yourself understanding everything about your patterns and still feeling stuck. You can name what's happening, analyze how it started, and explain it clearly to others. But actually feeling it? Connecting to what's going on inside? That's where things get hard.
Many of the people I work with are thoughtful, self-aware, and deeply reflective. They've done the intellectual work. What they're longing for is something more: a real relationship with their own emotional world, and the ability to share that world with the people they love.

I serve individuals who have encountered trauma in their lives. They typically struggle with getting easily triggered and being in fight, flight or freeze mode a lot of the time. It often feels like anxiety so many of my clients come in saying they suffer with anxiety. Many of my clients also struggle with making decisions.
