I am a licensed clinical psychologist in Tennessee. I have over 13 years of experience working in an outpatient, private practice setting. I have worked with clients (of all ages) with a wide range of concerns including PTSD, depression, OCD, and compassion fatigue.

My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, trauma-focused, and humanistic therapies. I will tailor our dialogue and treatment plan to meet your unique needs and desired outcomes.

I am a licensed professional therapist currently based in Texas. I graduated with a Master of Arts in Marriage and Family Therapy, with a certificate in Trauma Therapy. My experience includes working with couples, families, college students, and children from age 8-teens. I provide premarital counseling, marriage therapy, sex therapy, and individual therapy. I have worked with anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, abuse, adoption issues, and adjustment disorders. My therapy style involves understanding the client from their point of view. I work from a holistic view, believing all systems of the body; physical, emotional, psychological, and spiritual, help in the healing process. I especially love emotionally focused therapy and narrative therapy, but include other therapies such as cognitive behavioral therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, and family systems. I have been trained in EMDR and have found it can be utilized in many areas, but especially with trauma. Before becoming a therapist I worked as an RN for 20 years, graduating with my Bachelor's degree from Baylor University. Thirteen of those years were as a hospice nurse, so end of life care and grief counseling has been a big part of my life. I incorporate my medical background in the therapy process. I want to hear your story and look forward to working with you!

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. I believe that clients are the experts on themselves and their experiences, and I collaborate with them to use my skills and expertise to provide relief. I work with teens and adults, and my specialties include trauma, anxiety, and depression. I utilize a variety of approaches, depending on what is needed, but I most often use EMDR and DBT skills, and draw from Polyvagal and Attachment theories. All of these approaches help me support clients in healing from trauma, learning to regulate emotions, and improving relationships. I look forward to talking with you to decide if I am a good fit!

As a counselor I believe in another especially when they cannot believe in themselves. Each person is unique with differing situations that life has presented: depression, relationship issues, anxiety, eating too much, eating too little, low self-esteem, forgiveness, spiritual quandries, and no self-identity. It is these things and more that together we explore because they take from us our meaning and purpose in life. I like to explore what gives meaning and balance, and peace to ones life.
