I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with Mental Health Service Provider designation in Tennessee. I have experience helping adults navigate anxiety, depression, trauma, grief and loss, relationship difficulties, anger, substance use and recovery, low self-esteem, stress, and significant life transitions. I understand that people can appear strong and capable while privately feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or uncertain about who they have become.
My counseling style is warm, compassionate, interactive, and honest. I strive to create a safe, nonjudgmental space where you can speak openly about your experiences-even the thoughts and feelings that may be difficult to put into words. I believe therapy is not about fixing you or telling you what to do. It is about helping you better understand yourself, recognize patterns that maybe keeping you stuck, develop healthier ways of coping, and make choices that support the life you want to create.
My approach is trauma-informed and person-centered and incorporates cognitive behavioral therapy, motivational interviewing, solution-focused strategies, and other interventions based on your individual needs. When requested by the client, I am also comfortable incorporating faith and spirituality into the therapeutic process.
Beginning therapy takes courage, but you do not have to have everything figured out before you begin. We will work collaboratively at a pace that respects your needs, to identify your goals and build practical steps toward healing, growth, and meaningful change.
If you are ready to begin, I would be honored to walk alongside you.
