About me

Hello! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker based in Tennessee. I received my Master's of Social Work from Austin Peay State University. I have been practicing clinical social work for 5 years. I have worked in private practice settings, hospitals, acute and long term mental health facilities, and correctional institutions. All of these experiences have allowed to learn how help individuals from every walk of life.

Get to know me

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

It's not easy to ask for help, but it is worth the time to see how life can be more manageable. I specialize in therapy and support for men that have experienced trauma at work, home, or in childhood. We can work through life challenges together to get through and ensure that you live your best life. We will learn a little about each other and build a relationship that will allow me to help you reach your goals.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

My greatest strength as a provider is ensuring you understand you are not alone in you battle to overcome and regain control of your life.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

No matter the age, I help clients navigate through life whether you are struggling with anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, or relationship issues. I also specialize in teen and men's issues. I offer a place where you will feel safe, comfortable, and free of judgment. I use Cognitive Behavior Therapy, Trauma-Focused, and Solution-Focused Therapy.

My treatment methods

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

I use this treatment to better help clients understand how changing your thought pattern ultimately changes your behavior, promotes change, and helps you obtain the desired results you need to improve you life.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-i)

CBT-I helps you find out which thoughts and behaviors cause sleep problems or make them worse. You learn how to replace these thoughts and behaviors with habits that support sound sleep. Unlike sleeping pills, CBT helps you overcome the causes of your sleep problems.
