(she/her)
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) that is based in Tennessee. I am licensed in Tennessee and Texas. I received my Masters from the University of Texas and have been practicing for 17 years. I utilize various treatment modalities in my practice. I specialize in helping adults with life transitions, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, and burn-out in careers.
In our first session, we will have brief introductions and then focus on what brings you to therapy and what goals you have. During this interaction we will determine if we are a good fit to work together.
I have worked in a variety of settings with clients facing various challenges. I meet clients where they are and help to empower them to see their strengths.
I enjoy working with adults clients that are struggling with life transitions. My clients are eager to improve, but don't yet have the tools needed to make this goal a reality.
Other specialties
I identify as
Eclectic
I utilize Eclectic Therapy because it allows me to be flexible and meet the client where they are and focus on their specific goals. With this method we can switch between multiple approaches during our work together.

Attached-based is helpful to those who are interested in understanding how experiences during childhood impact the way we connect with others as adults. It can help to strengthen the ability to develop meaningful connections.

CBT helps to overcome negative thought patters and automatic beliefs, and replace them with more realistic and less harmful ones. It helps to teach strategies that can be utilized daily.
Mindfulness-Based Therapy
Mindfulness helps us to be more present and aware. It helps to relax the body and mind and reduce stress. It focuses on helping the client to be present in the moment and let go of worries and regrets.
Trauma Informed Care
Sessions will be focused on helping the client to discover skills and improve coping strategies to better respond to reminders and emotions associated with the traumatic event. These can include anxiety management and relaxation strategies.
