I am licensed to work with those in the state of Tennessee, USA. I have over 20 years experience working in the mental health field, 12 of those years specifically working as a therapist. My experience consists of helping clients with family conflicts, trauma and abuse, parenting issues, mood disorders, anxiety, & depression. I also have taught parenting classes, which allowed me to help parents in their relationship with their children. I am trained in Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT). While I have been trained in various therapy techniques, I have found most relation in the Solution Focused umbrella utilizing Narrative therapy. Solution Focused therapy helps people recognize how to work towards what they want- including how Narrative therapy sees each person’s storyline from their past, separating themselves from their problem (instead of living stuck), and recognizing how they want their story to continue. I believe that you are the expert of your story and that you have many strengths to overcome your challenges. Different situations can take place without our ability to feel prepared. You can take time for yourself and begin processing, in a safe and secure manner, through teletherapy services.

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

In our first session together, we may look at a greater overview of your reason for starting therapy and hopes for the next few sessions. Some clients may want to build more trust with a therapist prior to sharing certain needs for services, while some clients feel ready to share their goals soon after starting. We can explore potential hesitations for services, if any, and see how to make therapy a more safe space for you to begin working towards your goals.

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

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