About
I believe everyone deserves to feel heard and respected. My counseling approach focuses on helping people achieve their goals, navigate challenging times, and develop confidence in their coping skills.
I am a licensed professional counselor and mental health service provider (LPC-MHSP) with 8 years of experience helping individuals improve their mental health and overall quality of life. I work with adults navigating trauma, anxiety, depression, and addiction, and I have extensive experience supporting clients with a wide range of needs in community mental health settings.
I earned my doctorate in counselor education and supervision from Lindsey Wilson College, following completion of my master’s degree in counseling. I am trained in trauma-specific approaches, including EMDR, trauma-focused cognitive behavioral therapy, and emotion-focused therapy, and I work with both individuals and couples.
My goal is to create a safe, trusting space where you feel supported in being open about both the challenges and strengths in your life and relationships. Together, we will identify what you need to heal, grow, and move forward. If you are ready to begin or continue your healing journey, I invite you to schedule an appointment.

Alcohol addiction counseling in Knoxville can help people manage their urges to consume alcohol. In addition, it can help people manage the challenges that stem from their addiction, from relationship issues to problems at work, as well as issues that their addiction may stem from, like trauma.
Alcohol addiction counseling works by helping one understand the underlying causes of their addiction, teaching them coping strategies, and recognizing their specific triggers. Long-term or ongoing alcohol addiction counseling can also help to prevent relapse.
Alcohol addiction counseling from our therapists in Knoxville, TN is conducted both in person and online by video. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.
The length of alcohol addiction counseling with our providers at Thriveworks in Knoxville, TN depends on the individual’s needs and the extent and severity of their addiction, as well as the problems that might stem from it. That said, people can make meaningful progress in alcohol addiction counseling in the first weeks to months.
An alcohol addict is a person who is physically dependent on alcohol and is mentally compelled to consume it. Alcohol addiction does not have a single cause and many factors influence its development. One common misconception is that alcohol addiction is an entirely genetic condition that is passed down from one generation to the next. Whilst genetic factors have a role to play in the development of an alcohol addiction, the reality is more complex – there are many psychological and environmental components that influence the development over time. One aspect is a quite clear, consistent consumption of alcohol in increasing amounts is required for a physical dependency and addiction to develop.
If you are struggling with alcoholism or substance abuse, reach out to Thrivworks Knoxville for help. We have alcoholism therapists who can support you. We offer evening and weekend sessions and accept most major insurances.
Many health benefits are associated with alcohol consumption – red wine, for example, has been associated with anti-cancer and heart-protective properties. These benefits are quickly outweighed by the negatives when alcohol is consumed in excess – this effect is magnified in those individuals who are addicted to alcohol. Alcohol addicts experience higher rates of heart disease, cancer, dementia, and liver disease. These factors all feed into the fact that alcohol addicts have a life expectancy that is 10-12 years lower than the US national average.
Accepting that one has a problem is the primary focus for anyone considering treatment for his or her alcohol addiction – only then can the recovery process truly begin. A process of rehabilitation is the next step on the road to recovery – medical supervision in the form of professional counseling is often recommended throughout this process.
Here at Thriveworks Knoxville, we specialize in counseling methods proven to help addicts during rehabilitation. Our counselors work with clients on a one-on-one basis and tailor each session to the individual client.
Thriveworks Knoxville is here to help you. We offer evening and weekend sessions, and we accept most major insurances. In addition, most new clients can meet with their provider within the same week of scheduling.
