About me

I am a clinical social worker licensed in Tennessee, Mississippi and Arkansas with over 5 years of experience working as a therapist. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting problems, career challenges, OCD, and ADHD. I also helped many people who have experienced physical trauma or emotional abuse. My therapy style is warm and interactive. I believe in treating anyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I don't believe in stigmatizing labels. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, mindfulness, dialectical and solutions-focused therapy. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. It takes courage to seek a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps toward change. If you are ready to take that step, I am here to support and empower you. I look forward to working with you!

He has really been a great therapist for my husband and I. We didn't come to him in "crisis" but we came to him seeking guidance to become the best versions of ourselves within our journey, and honestly we keep coming back for more and more solutions. He has helped us to find a lot of common ground, but in concrete and attainable ways.

He has been really great! We are seeing him for couples counseling and he has helped us make great strides in some long standing arguments.
