About
I’m a counselor who believes healing begins when we feel safe enough to show up as our true selves — something I learned both personally and professionally while navigating my path toward authenticity in spaces that didn’t always make it easy to be fully seen.
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with 11 years of experience helping individuals navigate life’s challenges and create meaningful change. I specialize in working with adults, adolescents, and couples seeking emotional healing, personal growth, and stronger connections in their lives. My approach focuses on helping clients develop self-awareness, emotional balance, and the tools needed to live in alignment with their authentic selves.
I earned my Master’s in Counseling from the University of Tennessee. My integrative style combines cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness, and person-centered approaches to support insight, healing, and self-compassion. Each session is tailored to meet your unique needs and goals for growth.
I believe therapy is a collaborative journey where you are fully seen, supported, and encouraged to thrive. My goal is to create a safe and empowering space where you can explore your story, uncover strengths, and move forward with confidence. You don’t have to do it alone—I’m here to walk with you toward lasting change.

My go-to approach for treating depression includes ruling out any physical issues. Oftentimes, physical issues like mononucleosis, hypothyroidism, and low testosterone contribute to a deflated mood. We forget that our mind is also an organ, and for optimal performance, we need to take both the mind and body into consideration.
"I teach the following tools in depression counseling:
I know a client is making meaningful progress in depression counseling when they demonstrate a reduction in depressive symptoms, show improved functioning, and have increased the number of safe coping skills at their disposal to improve their distress tolerance.
Clients can supplement their time in depression counseling by completing an annual physical (including bloodwork) to rule out any physical issues, journaling, keeping a thought record, and writing a daily gratitude list.
To prepare for your first depression counseling session, you can confirm the date, time, and location of your therapy session, sign any and all consents required, ensure a credit card is on file, and make a short list of key issues, symptoms, or recent struggles.
