I am licensed in Tennessee with three years of professional therapy experience, but my work helping people in crisis began long before that. Before becoming a therapist, I spent 25 years as a board-certified paramedic, responding to emergencies where trauma, addiction, and mental health struggles were often at the forefront.

Taking the first step toward a more fulfilling and happier life takes courage. I know how hard it can be to reach out, but you don’t have to do this alone. I am here to support and walk alongside you in your healing journey.

Greetings! I am a trauma-informed and evidence-based licensed professional psychotherapist and mental health service provider across the lifespan for over 11 years. I'm also a nurse practitioner. Recently, I decided I wanted more of a work/life balance, which led me to Betterhelp. I work with adults, couples and adolescents and am experienced in an array of issues and modalities that are personalized for each client. I am also a specialist in narcissistic abuse and navigating toxic relationships. You are the expert of your story and I'll partner with you to help navigate and hold the space. In therapy, you will gain inner strength, learn new coping mechanisms and develop tools to navigate your life. You'll have to do some sitting with uncomfortable feelings, taking inventory of where you are and where you'd like to be, and facing difficult thoughts and emotions. Therapy isn't for the faint of heart. A safe, non-judgmental environment is imperative. Once this process begins, you'll most likely find therapy fun and challenging as we work together to curate your life. Curating uses the garden analogy. It can solely apply to your inner-world, but it's usually a reflection of your life as a whole. We identify the emotions, situations, relationships and experiences that no longer serve you. It's about gaining inner self worth, setting boundaries, pouring into yourself, and evolving. The exceptional thing about curating is that together, we will open up new space in your life for yourself or for new experiences to grow. The most important thing in the beginning is having the empathy, guidance, and support you need to overcome. The goal is never just to resolve, but to use the resolution phase to grow. In my opinion, there are no coincidences. If you landed on my page, and you're still here, there's a reason! I realize how difficult this first step is but you did it, and that speaks volumes. I would love to partner with you, please reach out!
