Everyone has a story that is part of their journey in life. I work with people to recognize their potential and overcome life's issues by meeting them where they're at, and helping individuals realize that our past does not define us. I specialize in working with people that have struggled with addiction, trauma, self esteem, depression, anxiety, and relationship issues. I know that therapy is different for everyone so I like to use different approaches that are unique to client such as CBT, Motivational interviewing, Solution focused approach, and many more.

My ideal client is a child or young person who is struggling with depression and is trying everything they can to get better, or has tried hard for so long they're exhausted; a mother and/or father who love their child and want to see them recover from these issues they are experiencing. Or, perhaps, the conflict at home has gotten so difficult that you're looking for answers to find peace.

I started Aptitude Behavioral Services, LLC to service school-age children in the East TN area. I love working with children through pre-teen ages and have also worked with a few higher-functioning teenagers. My typical day involves working with families that face challenges with behavior and working directly with children to decrease these behaviors while building skill deficits. I enjoy including family in my sessions and want to empower caregivers and family members so that they are equipped to handle behavioral challenges.

You are doing a brave thing. Anxiety, panic attacks, and depression can play a role in keeping us from seeking help outside of our known comfort zone. But there is help available, and hope for a better life. I specialize in working with anxiety, depression, and trauma and PTSD symptoms. We may cope in ways that work in the moment, but come back in the form of panic attacks, isolation, fatigue, lack of focus, appetite changes, difficulty staying motivated, and feeling constantly on edge or numb. If anxiety is hindering your quality of life, or your depression is too heavy to carry alone, welcome. This is a safe place to unpack these.

Choosing to pursue therapy is courageous. Life throws curve balls, often forcing us to face challenges which seem impossible to navigate. Obstacles such as trauma, infidelity, life transitions (birth, divorce, facing an empty nest, etc.), anxiety, or depression, can feel daunting. I am privileged to hear your story and I am honored to sit with you as we sort through your specific situation and move toward healing.

Therapy should be a space where you feel completely at ease being yourself, where you can express every emotion without the fear of judgment. It is essential that this environment allows you to be open and authentic, knowing that all feelings are welcomed and respected. Our work together is fundamentally a collaboration; while I provide guidance and support, you are the expert on your own life. You know best what you want and what you feel, and it is my role to honor and facilitate that understanding. Trust is the cornerstone of our therapeutic relationship, and I view it as a profound privilege when clients place their trust in me.

It’s normal as a parent to feel overwhelmed or exhausted when your teen or child are hurting and working through life adjustments, problems at school, and other major changes. Children and teens communicate through their actions due to lack of understanding the emotions underneath. My passion is to help children and teenagers who are struggling to process their emotions and work through life’s difficulties by providing a safe and warm place for them to grow more in who they are.

I came to the counseling profession with a professional background primarily as a first responder, specifically in law enforcement. My desire to work as a law enforcement officer is the same desire that has brought me to a career as a professional counselor. As an officer, I have seen too many times the trauma others face and how individuals may not know who or where to reach out to talk to someone. It is my desire to help individuals in their time of need.

Young adulthood brings many new insights, transitions, and challenges as you are faced with the task of deciding who you are and who you want to be. Many of these adjustments can be painful and bring to light issues that you’ve never noticed before. Whether it’s troubling family history, current relational wounds, or other struggles like anxiety, my therapeutic philosophy is rooted in the belief that you deserve a space to show up exactly as you are. I have experience helping individuals who have experienced trauma, sexuality exploration, life transitions, relational problems, and a wide range of other mental health struggles.
