Hi there!
I am a licensed professional counselor licensed in TN. I have about with 10 years of experience working as a counselor with various populations. I have worked with clients experiencing numerous mental health concerns such as panic attacks, anxiety, depression, ptsd, life transition issues, grief and addiction.
The types of interventions I incorporate typically combine cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness, and solution focused therapy. I am also certified in EMDR. I really believe in its efficacy and have some experience utilizing this type of therapy via video sessions to help clients neutralize negative memories, so they can move past them and heal.
Most would consider me warm and energetic with a "soft hands" style. I also tend to utilize psychoeducation quite a bit and give "homework" keeping in mind the specific goals we have created in order to help you feel better. You are the agent of change. I am simply here to help you on your way.
