Dialectical Behavior (DBT) Therapists in Knoxville, TN
I use a person-centered and integrative approach informed by my 30 year background in somatics and expressive arts along with training in Somatic Experiencing, The Hakomi Method, and DBT.
Healing begins when we learn to understand ourselves. I help adults, children, adolescents and families shine a compassionate light on their thoughts, feelings, and patterns of relating to find new possibilities beyond the habitual survival strategies that have helped you to defend against stress and trauma. Therapy can give you the tools and awareness to make the changes that you want to make while you learn to experience a greater sense of safety and resilience, recover from difficult experiences, find more acceptance, get your needs met with more clarity, balance connection with boundaries, and live life with greater meaning.

I help clients handle and express emotions through modalities, including: Psychodynamics, Mindfulness, ACT, and DBT.
Accepting new clients! Too often the strain we put on ourselves to "get it right", or "have it all together", leaves us feeling more pressured, confused, and defeated than we started. I believe in creating a space where you can better come to know yourself, and feel empowered to live the life you want. I relish in helping my clients develop self-esteem, employ coping skiLls, and authentically express themselves to find confidence in their own voice, and move towards goals and actions that align with the person they want to be.

Being human is hard! I believe most of people are doing the best we can with the awareness that they currently have, and also know that things can be easier and you can feel better. We must learn to attend to our own internal experiences so we may safely connect with ourselves, others and build a healthy support system from the inside out.

You must be and create the change you want to see, and I am here to help you, your family, and your child reach their goals.

My approach is person-centered and rooted in attachment theory, while also utilizing techniques from EMDR and DBT.
Being human is hard. It’s messy. And it can feel totally overwhelming at times. However, when we learn to give voice to these inner experiences, they start to become more manageable. We begin to realize the feelings and symptoms we experience aren’t random, they’re telling us something. As your therapist, I can help you learn how to better connect with, understand, and express painful emotions, while also providing tools to help you cope. Through it all, I will offer you compassion, warmth, empathy - maybe even a well timed curse word if necessary. I’ll bring my whole authentic self to the therapy room and invite you to do the same.

I mainly utilize IFS, DBT, and Play Therapy, and am currently undergoing the EMDR certification process.
No matter the age, we are wired for connection, expression, and love. I work with children, teens, and adults to create a space where all of these components can flourish and grow within each unique individual. As we work together to find obstacles in the way of one’s ability to connect, to express themselves, and ultimately to love themselves and others, I believe that every client is innately motivated to grow and heal when their emotional and physical needs are met. Both children and adults are wired for growth, yet our pain and/or trauma can keep us feeling scared, ashamed, stuck, or confused on how to move forward with love.
