Trauma Focused Therapists in Oak Ridge, TN

Anxious, depressed, lonely, scared, angry, or hurting. We all experience these feelings, but sometimes it is necessary to seek out some assistance. We here at Crossroads believe “no one should have to journey alone”. We specialize in adolescents/teens, college aged, young professionals, marital issues (premarital also), and potential separation/divorce situations. We are out-of-network with all insurance plans, but we can assist you in filing your out-of-network benefits.

I am passionate about providing a safe and welcoming space for people to receive support and heal. I care deeply about meeting clients where they are and tailoring sessions to their specific needs. In my work with clients, I strive to create a space in which we can become curious about patterns that are no longer working, and how they might have developed in the first place. I help people develop more effective ways of coping, and I support them in changing the ways they relate to themselves and others.

Are you dealing with life's difficulties? Do you struggle with feeling powerless, anxious, depressed, or just "different"? You deserve to be heard and I'm here to listen.

Finding a therapist that is a good fit for you is pivotal to a beneficial and meaningful experience in therapy. A strong therapeutic relationship is the vehicle for change and the strongest predictor of treatment success. My international education encouraged me to adopt a flexible, curious, and inclusive perspective on the factors that contribute to one's identity and difficulties (e.g., religion, ethnicity, culture, gender, sexual orientation, etc.). I strive to create a safe and non-judgmental space to support clients' introspective journeys, exploration of identities, and understanding of the self, others, and the world.

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 want to help you compassionately change your relationship with your feelings, connect to your own values, recognize your own strengths, and live a rich and meaningful life. Your goals for emotional wellness are important, and I believe that everyone has the capacity to heal.

Life is often confusing and sometimes very difficult. I believe my clients can improve their lives, even in difficult situations. I take a holistic approach that considers the wellness and level of functioning of each client across their many roles and responsibilities. It is my hope that each of my clients gains greater feelings of hope and autonomy as a result of our work together.

Whether you’re looking for a new counselor or considering therapy for the first time, I’m happy you’re here! Therapy can be a unique and vulnerable experience, so choosing a counselor to share that with is an important decision. Working with both adolescents and adults, I specialize in anxiety, depression, mood disorders, trauma-related disorders, self-esteem, and LGBTQ+ identities. While I practice within counseling theory and a wellness/emotion-focused lens, I also work to adapt with my clients in ways that best support them and their goals.

One of the things life has taught me is to not believe everything you think because our mind can really play tricks on us. There is hope even when you think there is none. There are solutions even when you cannot see them, because you have more power than you know.

Does it feel like you and your spouse are having the same fight over and over again? These recurring disagreements often provide little resolution, leaving us feeling misunderstood and disconnected. This relationship dynamic is not only frustrating, it starts to impact our own individual happiness and health. I assist couples by helping them step back and view their own relationship dynamic in a way that brings about their true voice and intentions in the moments of anger, blame, disconnection and withdrawal. In this way, each partner can begin to hear and experience one another in a way that builds intimacy, connection and hope.
