Welcome, Come Anchor & Bloom with me! I am so glad you are here and taking steps to find a counselor who meets your individual and therapeutic needs. It takes courage to step out in faith and work towards a positive life change for a more fulfilling and happy life. Often clients want to share with others about their progress and success. You will have the most success by completing the goals you came to achieve. I welcome you to share your progress with others.

Do you feel overwhelmed? Like you know that you were created for more in this life, but don't know where to begin? I understand. In today's world, our margins are thin, our spirits can feel defeated, and in the end, we suffer. As a counselor I provide a safe, private environment for growth and exploration, to help you not only survive, but thrive. I will help you with a plan for the life you want, based on your values and purpose. I am here to help you restore hope while providing tools that can lead to new possibilities. Together, we will fight the distractions in your way so you are free to become the best version of you!

Life is a tapestry of experiences - every thread woven together uniquely; specifically stitched is each one of our stories. Inevitably and sadly sooner than wished, comes the problem of pain. Pain can hijack our path (or alter it altogether), leading to hurt, hopelessness and disillusionment. Pain often clouds our vision. We forget that what may appear to be a mess of thread through our eyes might look like a masterpiece from another vantage point. The defining factor? Perspective. Learning to share our story, feel our feelings and tell the truth about them empowers us to live authentic, purposeful lives.

Congratulations on surviving the worst days of your life, now let me help you process them and move forward. I feel that everyone no matter, age, race, or sexual orientation deserves quality services. My job is to empower you to process, heal, and move forward with living your best life.

I work with clients that present with a variety of issues - depression, anxiety, addiction - often stemming from underlying issues with codependency, low self-worth, family of origin issues, and unresolved trauma. I see individuals, couples, and adolescents. If appropriate, I like working with clients in a group setting where peer support and identification with others help clients feel less misunderstood, alone or different.

New Group Sessions starting in Sept 2024! It is my pleasure to be here for you. We all need help in some way shape or form multiple times in our lives.

Hello! For the past 20 years, I have had the pleasure of working with children, teens and adults in the areas of anxiety, trauma, PTSD, mood disorders, grief, attachment and behaviors issues. I am always seeking to observe and understand my clients’ needs through a trifocal lens of Attachment, Internal Family Systems (IFS), and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). Trained in EMDR in 2007, I view EMDR as one of the most powerful tools in the therapeutic tool chest. I often use EMDR alongside a myriad of CBT, play/art therapy, “parts” work, mindfulness and relaxation, EFT tapping, sensory, and somatic healing strategies.

Welcome! Getting started in therapy can be scary, confusing, overwhelming, and so challenging. Whether this is the first or one hundredth page you've looked at, I think it is brave and remarkable that you are trying and I am honored that you are here. My primary goal as a therapist is to be a safe space for whatever my clients need; whether learning coping skills for anxiety, processing trauma, untangling identity, exploring faith, or something else entirely, I seek to provide a safe landing ground to do the hard work that is too big or scary to do alone or unsafe to do with others.

I help women move forward and rebuild after divorce or difficult breakup, couples find clarity in their relationship, and families dealing with the aftermath of divorce. My passion is supporting clients as they navigate life’s toughest moments, as these life transitions can have you feeling all the things – overwhelmed, scared, sad, angry, and frustrated. Adjusting to and accepting these changes can be hard to handle on your own, so that's where I come in. I support you as you figure out next steps, manage relational conflict or make a life-changing decision. The goal is to empower you to make decisions that will honor you.

Hello! I am an LPC-MHSP residing in Tennessee. I became involved in working with both teens and adults who have been abused or traumatized after seeing how much it can impact their lives. I see strengths in all of my clients and I work with them to recognize them, and how they can use their strengths to help them move forward and achieve their dreams without allowing past trauma, anxiety, abuse or other symptoms to prevent them from doing so.

This is not your typical therapy session. For change to occur, we must resource the nervous system in a healthy way to process emotions and feel safe in our bodies. Culturally many of us have been taught to process emotions cognitively and with rationalizing the 'why' of events. However, this doesn't calm our nervous system; in fact, where this way of coping may have served us well at one point in our lives, it may now make the struggle to manage overwhelming emotions harder. Therapies like somatic awareness and brainspotting help to create new neural pathways to feel safe and change how we made meaning of events and core wounding.

As a LCSW Therapist and mom, I specialize in the perinatal population. Through my own parenting experiences I have leaned on the village available to me at the time. My village has included my family, friends, midwives, other moms, older moms, and therapists as well.

I offer my Therapy Services through Ready Nest counseling in Knoxville, TN but am available throughout the state for Telehealth therapy.

I am excited to work with children, adolescents, and young adults to address the following concerns: depression, anxiety, academic and career guidance, life transitions, relational difficulties, self-esteem building, conflict resolution and more. Through a collaborative approach, my goal is to empower clients to overcome obstacles, develop effective coping strategies, and achieve greater life satisfaction.

As a counselor and a fellow human, I have found that deepening our awareness of who we are and the struggles we face, within a supportive, safe relationship can help us navigate life’s obstacles in ways that we did not feel were possible on our own. In time, we learn how to nurture and come home to ourselves. Counseling can be an empowering gift to the self. My therapeutic orientation is trauma, grief, and somatic-informed. I offer creative, mindful, body-centered, and nature-inspired interventions within sessions as ways of tuning into ourselves, understanding our patterns, and cultivating a life we intentionally want to lead.
