It's often difficult to know what you want and to pursue what you want. Especially, if broken patterns and negative family cycles are making you feel stagnant. There is an excitement that comes from building your own self-assurance and confidence as you stand securely in the story you want to live. Sometimes we wait to change our story because we don't feel ready. My hope is that we can all have the wisdom and courage to explore ourselves with compassion so that we can better love ourselves and love others. Let's create a foundation that allows us to live balanced personally, professionally, and relationally.

Hi! I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor – Mental Health Service Provider (LPC-MHSP) and a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) based in Tennessee. I earned my Doctorate from Amridge University and have had the privilege of working with individuals, couples, and families for nearly four years. I specialize in supporting people who are navigating depression, anxiety, and trauma, and I’m passionate about helping clients move toward a place where they can confidently pursue their life goals. Over time, I’ve developed a deep understanding of the importance of equipping individuals with the tools, strategies, and resources they need to grow and thrive. My approach is rooted in person-centered care—I believe in meeting you where you are, honoring your unique experiences, and walking alongside you as you work toward emotional, mental, and physical wellness.

I specialize in helping women navigate the mental and emotional impact of perimenopause and menopause because it’s about a lot more than hot flashes. This chapter of life often brings heightened anxiety, mood swings, self-doubt, and relationship strain, all while society tells you to “just push through it.” I help women take back control by examining the impact of hormonal changes, internal pressures (like relentless, negative self-talk), and external stressors (like toxic relationships and unrealistic expectations). Together, we replace what’s no longer working with strategies that empower you to feel grounded, capable, and more like yourself again. I firmly believe that the way you speak to yourself shapes how you handle the pressures of midlife — and let’s be honest, women are often their own harshest critics. It’s time to rewrite that inner narrative.

"We don't have to do it all alone; we were never meant to." – Brené Brown This belief is at the heart of my work as a therapist. I am passionate about walking alongside my clients as a team, helping them navigate challenges and achieve their goals. Many people share things with me that they have never shared with anyone else, which is why I believe that trust and the therapeutic relationship are the most important foundations of therapy.

I am trained in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), Attachment, Self-Regulation and Competency (ARC), Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), Compassion-Focused Therapy (CFT), Child-Parent Psychotherapy (CPP) and Motivational Interviewing (MI). My specialty is working with teens and young adults, as I believe this transitional period is critical for personal growth and reaching one’s full potential. Before becoming a therapist, I served as a firefighter and first responder for over a decade, including combat firefighting tours in Iraq. This background has shaped my deep commitment to resilience, healing, and supporting others through life’s most challenging moments.

I've been a counselor for a little over 15 years and do both consulting and mental health counseling through TeamFirst Solutions, PLLC. I've most often worked with teens, women and parents as they navigate their lives. Helping survivors of trauma is a particular passion of mine, and probably the one where I've had the most experience. Helping clients navigate life transitions like heading to college or finding direction after a major life event like divorce is an area of expertise for me as well. I value warm, inclusive spaces where people feel affirmed and cared about. I want my support to be practical, tailored to the individual, and help clients start to feel better fast. I'm grateful for experiences in case management, crisis work, private practice, and program leadership. I have experience teaching continuing education to fellow counselors and spent time as faculty in higher education. I think those diverse experiences have helped me learn how to solve real-world challenges, learn new treatment approaches, and meet people's needs in practical and accessible ways.

Hello, I am a licensed marriage and family therapist in the states of Texas and Tennessee with 30 years of counseling and ministry experience. I began as a minister of the Gospel in the Southern Baptist tradition in 1993 working with the homeless to overcome the struggles of addiction and hopelessness in North Carolina and Tennessee. From there, I became a case manager in a rural oupatient behavioral health clinic helping the chronically mentally ill live independently outside of the institutional settings. As my family of five children grew, my wife encouraged me to join the military in 2007 and for the next 13 years we served alongside our Soldiers and their Families as a chaplain. There, I learned through experience how to work through the stress of multiple transitions, the unyeilding demands for time and energy, and the unjust nature of toxic environments. I learned how to support those who wanted to strengthen themselves and their relationships in these environments and to ultimately be at peace with who they are and who they want to be. As I have matured in my training and become licensed in marriage and family therapy, I have found that I now specialize in using Solution Focused therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help individuals identify their strengths and the beliefs that are guiding their behavior. With this knowledge, people can begin to choose who they want to be.

I am a Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who is here to be a listening ear and talk through the issues bothering you. However, there also comes a time in the session where we will roll up our sleeves and collaborate to take concrete action towards positive change. This may involve learning about new skill in session. It may mean implementing new skills in between sessions. The goal is to create real change and find your peace.

Dealing with stress is something that everyone experiences, regardless of age or life stage. It can become overwhelming in various situations, such as: - Being a teenager battling self-esteem issues - Being a young adult trying to find your identity - Being a parent trying to find a balance between family and work life - Struggling in a relationship because of past trauma - Trying to move forward but grief is controlling you Neglecting your mental health can lead to not just a lackluster life, but a miserable one. I can address any concerns you have through therapy. My goal is to help you navigate your emotions instead of telling you what to do about them so that you can find peace and happiness for yourself. That could look like: - Waking up without dreading what your day entails. - Facing the world with confidence. - Having the courage to say no. - Setting healthy boundaries. - Celebrating life instead of fearing the inevitable.

Hello and thank you for taking the time to reach out! Do you ever have those days when things are especially difficult?? Many of the people that I meet are looking for support with mental health, substance abuse, and managing traumatic events. I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker as well as a Certified Alcohol and Drug Counselor. I also have extensive experience supporting teenagers who have experienced trauma, which led me to become a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional. Currently, I work with adults and youth, and I'm a strong believer in the mental/physical health connection. I am currently a social worker for a small hospice team in my area so am comfortable having uncomfortable conversations. I believe in strengths-based recovery that looks at all the systems that can impact us. Bits and pieces of different models incorporated together tend to have the most benefit, based on the person's needs. I have seen so many great successes! I enjoy supporting the people I work with and going through their journey with them. I am currently licensed in both IL and TN. When I am not in sessions, you will find me hiking with the doggos, road-tripping in the Jeep, and going into "Mom Mode" with my three kids. I look forward to connecting with you :)
