Hello and welcome. It means a lot that you’ve taken this step. Every person carries such a unique story shaped by resilience and strength. Sometimes, those stories can feel heavy or overwhelming, and we may find ourselves needing a space to breathe and process. My hope is to create a safe and supportive environment where you feel heard and empowered to heal. In our work together, I take a compassionate and collaborative approach that meets you where you are, supporting you in working through current challenges while building toward the future that is possible. I typically practice in the Solution-Focused umbrella, incorporating Narrative Therapy into my work. Solution-Focused Therapy helps you identify your strengths and move toward your goals; while Narrative Therapy encourages exploring one’s personal story from the past, separating the individual from their problems, and envisioning how you want your story to continue. My experience consists of helping clients with family conflicts, trauma and abuse, parenting issues, mood disorders, anxiety, and depression. I have taught parenting classes for many years, which allowed me to help parents strengthen their relationships with their children and build more confident, nurturing connections. These experiences have deepened my understanding of the challenges families and individuals face, and reinforced my commitment to supporting each person’s unique journey toward healing and growth. I have over 20 years of experience in the mental health field, with 13 of those years dedicated to being a therapist. I am licensed to provide therapy to individuals across the state of Tennessee. It’s truly an honor to support people as they reconnect with themselves, rediscover hope, and move toward healing. Supporting others through life’s challenges is deeply fulfilling work, and I am grateful for the opportunity to be present with you on your journey.

Get to know me

In our first session together, here's what you can expect

In our first session, we’ll take time to explore what brings you to therapy and what you’re hoping for in the sessions ahead. Some people prefer to ease into the process and build trust before sharing more deeply, while others feel ready to talk about their goals right away. Wherever you’re starting from is welcome. If there are any hesitations or concerns, we can talk through them together and find ways to make therapy feel like a safe and supportive space for you to begin your journey.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

My strength is being able to provide a space of calm for clients.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

Everyone has their own walk in life. At any point along that journey, our perspective is shaped by our unique experiences. What you’re going through is your reality—and sometimes others may not fully understand it or may respond with frustration when you share your concerns. There are times when reaching out for support can make a meaningful difference. Meeting with a counselor offers a private, confidential space where your story is respected. Counseling provides time to process, reflect, and explore practical steps that feel right for you and align with your goals. I’m passionate about helping people build insight into their lives and feel more confident in their path forward. Many individuals struggle with feeling that their circumstances—or even they themselves—are “weird” or “crazy.” These words are often internalized in painful, self-deprecating ways. The truth is, we all face struggles. We all make mistakes. And we all have strengths and abilities that carry us through difficult seasons. My hope is to help people recognize those strengths, even in the midst of challenges, and begin to see themselves with greater compassion and clarity.

I wanted a female therapist first of all, that takes Humana and in the state of TN. After looking at so many profiles, she had a warm look, appeared open minded and understanding, not judgmental. And she has proved to be all of that. She has helped me tremendously w trying to understand the family situation I’m involved with and how to maintain a healthy way of looking at it to achieve a peaceful solution! I prayed for God to send me to the right therapist and he did!! Thank you!

My treatment methods

Narrative

Working with a client through Narrative Therapy helps them walk through their past memories and explore how they want their story to continue into their future. By processing those memories and adding in exceptions to help the client have a greater sense of control over their live can help them have more clear direction for what they feel they may need/want.
