I specialize in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and EMDR.
I am accepting new clients and taking in-network Cigna Insurance. As a former USAF Combat Medic and civilian paramedic with over two decades of experience, I have dedicated my life to serving others in times of crisis. Witnessing the toll that trauma takes on individuals firsthand, I made the profound decision to transition from the front lines of emergency response to the forefront of mental health care. Driven by the loss of my comrades and friends to the silent battles of PTSD, I embarked on a new journey to make a difference in a different capacity.

I use EMDR, Expressive Arts, movement, and other techniques.
I serve individuals who have encountered trauma in their lives. They typically struggle with getting easily triggered and being in fight, flight or freeze mode a lot of the time. It often feels like anxiety so many of my clients come in saying they suffer with anxiety. Many of my clients also struggle with making decisions.

When helping clients process past traumatic experiences, I utilize a trauma focused psychotherapy approach that may include EMDR, DBT, and elements from CPT.
Many individuals are confronted at certain times in their life with a set of challenges and difficulties that seem insurmountable or overwhelming. Others are seeking guidance or insight in how to rediscover a sense of direction or purpose in their lives. Seeking out help is an act of courage and self-validation. Stop putting it off.

I use evidence-based approaches, including CBT, EMDR and the Gottman approach for couples.
Do you feel stuck? Do you struggle with low energy or emotional ups and downs? Are you struggling with your partner or children in this internet-driven era? Life can be hard. Even the most resilient person can struggle, and experience declining emotional & physical health. I would like to help you have more effective relationships, reduce your stress and develop coping skills. I have been privileged to work as a licensed psychologist in Tennessee for 30 years. While I welcome all clients, I integrate faith-based principles with sound psychological strategies if that is important to you.

After retirement from the USAF I pursued a degree that I could use to help others. The most effective therapy I could find is Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing ( EMDR). For about eight years now I have worked with clients of various ages and all walks of life to address their individual trauma. I have seen insecurity replaced with confidence. My goal is to assist my clients to have a better quality of life, to help you replace nightmares with a good night’s sleep. Trauma effects each individual differently from depression to memory gaps, to fits of rage or drug abuse, maybe it is time to come in and talk.

I offer both EMDR therapy and IFS informed therapy.
I work with individuals who are on a journey toward self-compassion and living more fully as their authentic selves. Many individuals I work with have experienced early life trauma, religious trauma, social anxiety, overwhelm, or are in the middle of a life transition. We can work together to gain more balance in your life and create more helpful thought patterns that offer healing instead of feeling "stuck". I offer sessions both in-person in Knoxville, TN or via telehealth throughout Ohio, Tennessee and Virginia between 8am-2pm EST on weekdays.

Do you feel like you have talked through everything but still don't feel better? Are you a motivated client or couple looking to shift patterns no longer serving you? I enjoy meeting clients in this space of healing, utilizing EMDR to help shift prior trauma, negative beliefs, anxieties and more. I encourage you to reach out, and explore through a free consultation how a holistic approach to healing may help you.

You deserve to live a life of overall wellness. Anxiety and trauma can make you feel stuck in cycles, impacting not only your personal well-being but also your connections with others. Unwanted thoughts and emotions can be overwhelming to process, leaving you struggling to communicate effectively. Maybe you are seeking a solution to combat your current processing patterns or want to feel more connected to yourself or others. My ultimate goal is to walk with you while exploring your emotions and thoughts without judgment.

EMDR (eye movement desensitization reprocessing) works to stimulate trauma so that it may be digested.
I believe that clients have the innate ability to heal through accessing their innermost selves. Each client is traveling their own personal, interpersonal, and spiritual path and I act as a guide to help facilitate and co- create healing and wholeness. Through healing old wounds, past traumas, and solving relationship conflicts, I aspire to help individuals, couples, and families reach their highest potentials to aid in having richer and more fulfilling lives. My approach is Transpersonal, which means that I look beyond the ego into the spiritual to encourage wholeness in each client.
