Therapists in Tennessee

I love this work- getting to support and celebrate clients as we explore and uncover next steps in their walk towards goals and healing. I have a passion for working with teens, young adults, and women who are facing the impacts of trauma, grief, anxiety, depression, loneliness, challenging relationships, difficulty adjusting to life’s circumstances, or struggling to feel like themselves. Ultimately, I believe this counseling process helps clients uncover and connect with the person they were always created to be; a unique and treasured presence.

Pain... Pain can be emotional, physical or spiritual and sometimes we need to talk about it, process it and allow the Lord to heal those deep places of hurt. And when complete healing is not possible, we can learn to reconcile it somehow. My own journey was to trust the process- to accept wise and Godly counsel around me, to allow others to guide me and ultimately learn from it in order to help others. My goal is to come alongside others that are in pain- to walk with you in your journey, to guide you, to pray for you, and assist with treatment disorders as needed.
