Cognitive Behavioral (CBT) Therapists in Chattanooga, TN

Do you find yourself feeling alone, wondering if something is "wrong" with you? Feeling like things just don't make sense? I'm here to say that you are not broken; you make sense. I believe we are all a product of a multitude of things: our past experiences, our relationships, our biology, our actions, our thoughts- and when we take the time to look at all these different things, we find that we do, in fact, make sense. I would be honored to walk beside you as you ask hard questions, discover deep places inside yourself, examine relationships in your life, and get more in touch with the unique and irreplaceable person that is YOU.

I believe that everyone needs a safe space in which to be heard, to share their pain, to explore, to heal, and to grow. We were created for connection, and healing happens in relationship. It is a privilege to listen to and hold each client’s story with great care and hope. I know that it can be intimidating to take the first step to begin counseling, but you are welcome here just as you are.

If you're feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or frustrated and unsure how to move forward, struggling with communication problems, conflict resolution, feeling disconnected, or suffering with anxiety, panic attacks, trauma/PTSD, depression, men's issues, or dealing with a new life change, or others issues.

Choosing to make changes in our lives can be scary and challenging. Having the right individual to help you in facing those changes is imperative. I enjoy working with those interested in making changes in their lives whether it be in facing present life transitions and stressors or dealing with past events/traumas. I have great empathy, compassion and patience in working with those who want to tackle their challenges in a safe and supportive therapeutic environment. I would be honored to work with you and/or your loved one(s) to help you take the steps towards change in your journey through life.

I enjoy helping clients build resilience and feel a sense of safety both within themselves and with the outside world. Professional experience includes serving children, adolescents, adults, and families in the settings of community outreach, outpatient services, foster care, adoption, and mental health/addiction treatment centers. I am passionate about promoting personal growth, empowerment, advocacy, and self-efficacy. I strive to connect with clients in a safe therapeutic alliance to help increase tolerance thresholds through psycho-education, therapeutic interventions, skills practice, mind-body connection, and self-awareness.

I understand the exhaustion that can come from feeling like you’ve tried everything. Whether you are a young adult looking for services for yourself, or a parent seeking services for your child, I would love to join you in your journey to try and trust the therapeutic process.

We all have struggles we have to face—and sometimes we need the help of a trained professional to overcome those struggles. As a licensed counselor, I provide a safe and welcoming environment in which people can express themselves without fear of judgment, a place where they can feel heard and valued. Because I believe strong relationships are vital to the healing process, I am passionate about providing therapy from an interpersonal perspective. As such, I work with teens, couples, and families on issues ranging from spirituality to addiction to trauma to mood disorders such as anxiety, depression, grief, and anger.

Life can become overwhelming at times. I consider it a privilege to walk through difficult parts of your journey with you.

I am honored to help you find your strength to cope in times of pain and suffering.

I work with individuals to help them strengthen the relationship with themselves and others while learning how to live a more meaningful life.

If you are sick and tired of being sick and tired, I hear you. If you want to make changes to live a happier and healthier life, I can help you do that!

My goal as a therapist is to provide support to my clients so that they are able to find their strength and remember that they have the ability to heal. As a therapist, I work with my clients as a teammate to help them to be successful through using cognitive behavioral therapy, motivational interviewing, or solutions-focused brief therapy.

It can be difficult navigating life's hardships alone. You have taken a brave step in seeking out therapy, and I want to honor that.

Hello and welcome to the start of this therapy journey. If you are someone who has struggled with anxiety, depression, motivation, family issues, friendships or general relationship struggles then I may be a good therapist for you. Are you contemplating your next steps in life, struggling with career decisions and feel that you are stuck? Do you find it difficult to deal with your past and find yourself fearful of your future?

Stressed? Tired? Can’t seem to get ahead? Don't like yourself? Finding that sense of security and strength in the midst of changes, challenges, and relationships is difficult, and some feel that taking time to stop and reflect is impossible; yet often it is one of the most important steps in moving forward or getting unstuck. Stopping and working with a trained therapist can help facilitate change in meaningful and impactful ways. It can also help avoid a complete life derailment. I believe that the work I do with my clients is sacred, which is why I employee some of the most up to date and clinically validated treatment techniques.

When children experience big emotions, they usually do not know how to talk about them. Play is how children learn and communicate. Children teach us so much about their inner world if we just watch them play. I am passionate about helping kids have a better understanding of their emotions and how to regulate them. It is also important for caregivers to feel supported and to learn tools that can help them and their child have a positive relationship.

Whether you are dealing with anxiety, depression, relationship conflict, breaking free from a toxic relationship, parenting challenges, or other life stressors, I believe you can find relief in a short amount of time with some simple yet intentional changes. Together we can focus on creating strategies to help you have the life and relationships that you desire. I specialize in individual and relationship counseling, as well as working with parents of adult children who are failing to launch out on their own or who parents find difficultly in relating to in everyday interactions.
