Hi! I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, based in Tennessee serving Tennessee, Kentucky, and Virginia via Telehealth. I received my Masters from Western Kentucky University and have been practicing for several years. I help adults with anxiety, coping skills, grief, and relationships. I help teens and young adults with coping and life skills. I work with couples struggling with relationships concerns or lack of growth. I also work with families working through family concerns and struggles.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

In our first session together, we'll start with brief introductions, then dive into the specific challenges you're facing. This will help me create a tailored plan for us to work through in follow-up sessions.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

Having worked with all age groups with various challenges, I've developed a tried-and-true playbook for helping you identify the root cause of your challenges and create a tailored plan that leads to measurable progress. I have worked with families, couples, children, teens, military active/spouses/children/retired, as well as clients with multiple traumas.

Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.

I love working with all age groups and helping each client feel heard. I like to see my clients success when focusing on their personal goals and growth. Sometimes clients may not yet have all the tools or know how to move forward with their goals. I love helping them find what they need to succeed.

My treatment methods

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

I’ve been using CBT in my practice for many years. It’s helped dozens of clients challenge reoccurring thoughts and manage their anxiety. We’ll use CBT to recognize how your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors influence each other. We’ll then use that knowledge to change your thinking patterns, which will help you lead a less anxious and stressed life.

Couples Counseling

I specialize in teaching couples to navigate conflict, rebuild trust, and increase your intimacy and affection. I have experience with couples who are married, unmarried, engaged, and divorced. I’m confident you and your partner will find the compassionate support you need to navigate your relationship in the right direction.

Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT)

I frequently use EFT to help clients through traumatic events and stress they have encountered throughout their life. There are six treatment principles that guide this therapy: achieving empathic attunement, fostering an empathic, a caring therapeutic bond, facilitating task collaboration, helping the client process experience appropriately to the task, supporting completion of key client tasks, and fostering client development and empowerment.
