Hello. I am a licensed clinical social worker in Tennessee. I received my Masters degree from Union University in West Tennessee. I have completed my doctoral degree in behavioral health from Freed Hardeman University. My training as a social worker as well as my advanced degree in behavioral health gives me broad scope of skills to meet patient’s needs. My career path has allowed for me to treat lifespan of patients as well as a broad scope of patient demographics.
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
I like to start sessions with introductions and have the patients describe their perception of their treatment needs. I explore the patient's environment and how this may impact their perspective. I like to assess what the patient would like to gain from counseling services. Then we will collaborate together on a treatment path/ plan to meet your needs.
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
I have over 15 years in mental health field. My education and training provides a wide scope of services. My education and experience provides me with a foundation to build a successful plan in meeting patient’s needs. I strive to make treatment patient-centered care. I want to improve self esteem, be supportive, and build on empowering the patient as well as identify strengths.
The clients I'm best positioned to serve
Patients who struggle with negative thoughts, negative self talk, grief, and experience anxiety and depression can benefit from counseling. I enjoy being supportive and empowering with people to make changes in their life. People who might feel numb or stuck within their environments. People who are overwhelmed or overthinking.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
In my practice, I utilize CBT to identify and challenge reoccurring thoughts contributing to anxiety and depression. We'll focus on CBT to recognize how your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors influence each other and impact functioning. We'll then utilize that knowledge to change your thinking patterns and self talk which can positively impact daily functioning.
EMDR
I recently have completed training in EMDR to assist clients in managing emotions. We assess to see if clients met criteria for EMDR to be beneficial. This treatment modality can be beneficial in treatment of trauma, anxiety, depression, OCD, and distressing life expreinces.

When I have my appointments with Jeanie it feels like I'm talking to a friend. I can tell her I'm having an off day and she helps me get to the bottom of why it feels off. I feel like in the few months I've been her patient I have made more progress than in the several years with other therapists. She has given me several tools and a lot of advice that has actually been helping.
