I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in Tennessee and a Nationally Board Certified Counselor. I am passionate about working with people of all ages who are in difficult phases of their lives and are struggling to rediscover happiness, pleasure, or meaning in their current circumstances. I became a counselor because I believe in the power of connection to help us overcome life's most difficult challenges. I have seen the resiliency of the human spirit and believe that in the right environment, we are capable of so much more than we may realize.
I recognize that there are few things more difficult in life than struggling, or watching your loved one struggle, and not knowing how to fix it. Unfortunately, we live in a world where we are often expected to put our best foot forward, ignore our pain, and go about our day as if nothing is wrong. This may work for a short time, but it often leaves us feeling anxious, overwhelmed, and discouraged. During sessions I work to maintain an open environment where exploration and change can readily occur without judgment. I will guide you through the identification of solutions already present within your own life in order to solve current challenges, and work alongside you to implement these meaningful changes.
I welcome people of all ages and races, regardless of gender, religious tradition, sexual orientation, economic status, or physical, emotional, and mental capacity.
