About

As a licensed counselor, I am committed to providing quality counseling services to Tennessee residents. I received my Master's in Mental Health Counseling in 2012 and have been licensed in Tennessee since 2015. I have worked in mental health since 2008. From 2012-2016 I had the pleasure of working through a church in a Christian environment providing guidance and support through a Christ-centered, holistic approach. However, I only provide Christian faith based counseling when asked to do so. I accept people from all walks of life and believe that everyone deserves dignity and respect. Since 2015 I have operated within a private practice setting offering counseling to a large variety of clients from all walks of life.
I am comfortable working with individuals, couples, (premarital and married), families, children and teens. I specialize in relationship dynamics, communication and conflict resolution, anxiety and depression, fitness and wellness, nutrition, and spiritual issues.
I am licensed by the state, certified nationally, and also have certifications in fitness and nutrition. I believe this brings a wealth of knowledge as each individual's wellness is holistic and all areas of our lives affect each other in some way. I approach counseling from a variety of frameworks. Primarily I incorporate person-centered therapy while also using the family systems approach, cognitive-behavioral therapy, dialectical-behavioral therapy, narrative therapy and mindfulness.
I prefer to check in with my clients personally before we schedule a live or phone session on the schedule. I do have quite a bit of availability but like to talk about this rather than setting a schedule in the system as a way to manage this forum as well as my private practice. Once a time is agreed upon I will open that time slot for the client to book.
