I have experience working with infants/toddlers, children, adolescents, young adults, and adults. I am trained in Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, and Child-Parent Psychotherapy. I offer a compassionate, encouraging, patient, and supportive nature when working with clients. I am able to sit with clients in their struggles and explore their goals of how they want life to be improved as we work through their issues together.

I am driven to support individuals in their personal growth and development, as well as help them make positive changes in their lives. I enjoy working with those who have a strong desire to understand themselves better, identify their core values and beliefs, and develop a greater sense of self-awareness and self-acceptance. I appreciate individuals who are open to exploring their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors, and who are willing to challenge themselves to try new things and take risks. I understand that it can be difficult to step out of one’s comfort zone, but I am here to support and encourage individuals.

I am Licensed Professional Counselor in the state of Tennessee. My areas of focus include counseling for adolescents and adults experiencing depression, anxiety, grief, relationship issues, trauma-related behaviors and symptoms, substance abuse disorders. I utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Trauma Focused Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy, Insight Gaining and Communication, Couples Therapy, and the disease concept of addiction in my work.

Do you find yourself in internal arguments with your inner critic or feel so pressured by should’s that being stressed has become the norm? Do you miss your former, more alive self or notice that feelings you had hoped were resolved continue to generate painful memories? Are you struggling with unwanted behaviors - irritable outbursts, addictions, or indecisiveness? Or missing intimacy and positive communication with your spouse or partner? Though there is no "typical client", resolving these concerns or decreasing symptoms of anxiety, depression, or PTSD, are frequent reasons reported by my clients when they come to therapy.

New patient appointments available within 2weeks! Hope, Clarity, Motivation, Peace, and Joy… Does this sound like a fairy tale to you? Have you tried so long to free yourself from dread, anxiety, stress, indecisiveness, or sadness that you feel weighed down, bound by your own and the world’s unrealistic expectations, and unsure as to where to turn? You may look like you have it all together on the outside, but your inner voice is in desperate need of peace. I hear you. I have been there myself and I am here to tell you there is hope. You can have a balanced life worth living. A life beyond surviving!

The healing journey begins with compassion and understanding without judgment. This journey can be a long and tiresome one; don’t walk it alone.

I understand that making the decision to enter therapy is not always easy. Some therapists take on the role of identifying what is "wrong" with a client or how the client needs to be "fixed." I view my role as your therapist as helping you identify and utilize the healthy coping skills you already have to resolve issues. The answers are there, and I appreciate that you are more familiar with the issues than anyone else. I will work with you to reveal the path and help you get the obstacles out of the way, including the many ways we can be our own worst enemy.

Life happens to everyone without discrimination. Depression, anxiety, addiction, thinking errors, and trauma can find their way into our daily lives and take root. I am committed to providing a safe place for individuals who are ready to move toward healing. My therapeutic approach is compassionate, empathetic, and trauma informed. No two journeys are the same and we will work together to set goals that reflect your journey. All the parts of your story matter and deserve to be heard.

Alcohol and Drug Assessments and Mental Health Evaluations completed for court cases. This includes DUI and possession charges, or child custody cases. Other services provided are drug screening services. Call today..!

I strive to provide a safe space for all clients to explore the issues bringing them to therapy and what underlies those issues. As a multicultural/relational therapist identities that are important to you provide a background for therapy (race, religion, culture, ethnicity, sexual orientation, age, political affiliations, gender identity, gender, sex, ableness, etc.) as those identities make up who you are. Relationships and how you relate with others are also important. I treat anxiety, depression, grief/loss, phases of life issues, family issues, women's issues and men's issues. I am also a sex and gender specialist.

We all need a little help at various points in life..... Everyone has times in life when it is difficult to work through things on your own. Marital/Couple Problems, Separation/Divorce, Blended families, Adolescence Problems, Intimacy Issues, Mood Disorders, Anxiety, Depression, Alcohol-Drug Abuse, Parenting Issues, Grief or Bereavement Issues, Stress, Conflict Resolution, Addiction, and many more. Many times, we need someone to help us sort through these changes in our lives. Change is difficult. But by having someone to walk with us through the process of change and challenge us to approach our problems differently, we can grow, succeed and be happy.

My practice is for people who want to make a lifestyle change and will commit to personal healing and growth while facing life’s challenges. Life can be hard for Children, Adolescents, and Adults, and sometimes very difficult to handle. It helps having someone listen offering unconditional positive regard. Clients learn and practice communication and problem solving skills, conflict resolution, boundaries, and healthy life style choices. Counseling involves change and helps let go of self-defeating patterns. Goals may be set based upon the client’s needs. A variety of approaches may be used to best suit the individual.

Special interest in helping people work through difficulties they are facing in order to get to a better place in life. Everyone faces various types of struggles throughout life and it is nice to find someone who can help you navigate through those times. It's very important to me to develop strong, trusting relationships with my clients. This creates a safe environment for issues to be discussed and goals to be set. A solid working relationship helps people feel comfortable in discussing difficult things and situations they are going through which helps to get to the root of a problem & find a true solution.

Over the past 16 years, I have successfully guided clients in the achievement of emotional well-being and personal growth in the areas of A.D.H.D., Anxiety, and Trauma.

We all have things going on, and it can be hard to know the way forward for every situation we are faced with, especially if we feel alone. I believe that no matter who you are or where you are in life, a way forward often begins with stopping to reflect. Having someone present can help that happen.
