Overwhelmed. Anxious. Exhausted. Your brain is like a hamster wheel of worst-case scenarios, relentless worry, and you're just... so... TIRED. You've tried ignoring, distracting, or arguing with yourself to get some peace, but the relief is temporary. When it all comes barging back, you wonder, "Why can't I stop ...(insert cyclical mental stress)..? How come..(insert quick-fix).. isn't working? …Will I EVER feel better?!" You know there are ways to find relief from OCD, anxiety, or trauma, but none of your self-help internet research has made much improvement. There HAS to be a way to break free of this emotional trap - but how?

Are you looking for a counselor who is passionate about working with children, adolescents, and young adults and their families and helping them grow and change?

Are you troubled by your teenager's worries and sadness? I am here to help!

I want to create a safe space for you, so you look forward to joining me on your journey toward restoration and peace. I want to spark positive growth within, and go with you on a powerful, healing, and revitalizing journey where you receive the support you need. Give me a call! I’m excited to start the voyage with you!

Today's adults and kids are more connected and busier than ever, yet also feel stuck, unfulfilled, and sometimes lonely. A busy life doesn’t always mean we feel seen and heard. Sometimes life gets messy, and we put on a happy face and tell ourselves, “I will deal with that later.” Pain and loss are realities, but there aren’t lessons in school on how to handle these truths, and our lives can turn gray. The isolation of the pandemic has magnified the importance of human connection. There's something powerful about having a witness to your life story. I would be honored to help you, or your family member find their sunlight.

As a licensed psychologist, I provide psychotherapy for adults in TN (and states with PsyPact legislation). I have 15+ years experience working with young adults navigating college life. Common areas of practice include anxiety and depression management, identity development concerns, minority stress, and grief/loss. I have specialized training and practice supporting survivors of trauma through recovery. I am committed to providing affirming therapy services to those of marginalized identities and communities, including persons of color and LGBTIAQ folks.

My therapeutic approach is deeply relational, understanding that each person's path to healing is unique. I work collaboratively with clients to process life, build a stronger mind/body connection, and connect with their authentic Self. I’ve worked with a variety of populations with my experience in community mental health, but feel passionate about working with trauma, dissociation, attachment, life transitions, grief, self exploration, neurodivergence, men’s issues, LGBTQ+, people pleasing, and boundaries. I honor the lived experience of all individuals as intersectional feminism and social justice are intrinsic to my values.

I enjoy working with individuals to build better lives and relationships. I support individuals struggling with depression, anxiety, trauma, men's issues, anger issues, and stress management. For individuals who feel stuck and hopeless, I help provide support, understanding, perspective, and direction. There are so many difficulties in life that are out of our control, and I help individuals develop the resilience to endure the hardships of life.

Overwhelmed. A word so frequently used. How many times have you felt that way? What part of you is holding you back from healing? Is it anxiety, depression, life transitions, trauma? Trauma effects many of us in multiple ways. From attachment wounds to developmental to historical to environmental, each trauma can cause a change in our behavior, the way we perceive the world, the lens how we focus. However, trauma therapy can help you find the underlying issues and allow you to live a full and healthy lives.

I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker offering individual therapy for adults.

I tailor my approach according to the needs and strengths of the client, combining psychodynamic and cognitive behavioral theories. I provide an attentive, honest, and non-judgmental therapeutic environment where clients can increase insight and explore desired change.
