About

Life is a journey that this full of experiences which challenge and inspire us. We don't have to face the challenges alone. It is important to be able to communicate our feelings, experiences, and needs in a safe environment. Sometimes we need a guide to navigate the difficulties that stand between us living fully into our best selves. I believe counseling should be a collaborative approach. It is vital that you have a a safe space, without judgement, to understand and explore how to live into your authentic self. I am passionate about creating a nonjudgmental, safe place for you to find support.
I am a marriage and family therapist licensed in Tennessee with over 20 years of experience working with a wide range of concerns including substance use/recovery, codependency, depression, anxiety, relationship issues, grief and loss, life transitions and spiritual concerns. In working together I will utilize a mixture of different approaches that is focused on your healing and individualized to your needs. My experience with mental health, addiction recovery, crisis management, life transitions, and spiritual direction has provided me with experience to meet you exactly where you are on your journey.
It takes courage to seek help and my hope and passion is create a supportive environment of mutual respect, empathy and compassionate care. I would be honored to meet with you and help provide a safe space for growth and healing.
