I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with 7 years of experience providing virtual individual therapy for adults across Tennessee. I specialize in helping clients navigate life transitions, trauma, loss, and relationship challenges that disrupt emotional balance. My approach empowers clients to recognize their capacity for growth, resilience, and change while developing the tools and self-awareness needed to create meaningful, lasting progress in their lives.

I earned my Master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from the University of Tennessee. My approach integrates cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, and motivational interviewing to provide care that meets each client where they are on their healing journey.

I believe therapy is a shared journey toward healing and self-discovery. My role is to walk alongside you with compassion and curiosity, helping you process difficult emotions, strengthen coping skills, and reclaim a sense of peace and purpose. Together, we can build a life that feels authentic, balanced, and aligned with your values.
