Hi! I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor Mental Health Service Provider (LPC-MHSP) and a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) based in Tennessee. I earned my Doctorate from Amridge University and have had the privilege of supporting individuals, couples, and families for five years. I specialize in helping people navigate depression, anxiety, and trauma, and I’m passionate about guiding clients toward a life where they can confidently pursue their goals. Over the years, I’ve developed a deep understanding of the tools, strategies, and resources that help people not just cope, but truly grow and thrive. I provide structured trauma therapy for adults who feel stuck despite years of coping. I help adults stop reliving trauma so they can feel safe in their daily life again. My approach is person-centered and collaborative. I meet you where you are, honor your unique experiences, and work alongside you as you build emotional, mental, and physical wellness. Together, we’ll create a supportive and empowering space where you can take meaningful steps forward, moving from where you are now to where you want to be.
In our first session, we’ll start with a relaxed conversation to get to know each other. My goal is to create a warm, safe, and judgment-free space where you can truly be yourself. We’ll explore the challenges you’re facing and identify what’s most important to you, so I can understand your unique situation. Together, we’ll begin creating a personalized plan designed specifically for your goals; something practical, actionable, and tailored just for you. This session is the first step toward real, lasting progress, and a space where your time and investment in yourself are prioritized.
Through my experience working with a wide range of clients, I’ve developed a strong ability to connect and build meaningful therapeutic relationships. I take a person-centered approach, always striving to meet clients where they are. My goal is to create a space where you feel truly seen, heard, soothed, and safe, so that healing and growth can happen naturally and at your own pace.
I truly enjoy working with individuals who are ready to face life’s challenges head-on and are committed to doing the deeper work that leads to lasting change. When clients are open to taking proactive steps, rather than looking for quick fixes, they’re often able to get so much more out of the therapeutic process and move toward their goals with greater clarity and confidence.

Dr. Kay is a warm person anyone could talk with. I suggest everyone to stop looking for your best match and talk to her at least once.
