About
As a licensed therapist, I believe that the best work is done in partnership with my clients, and together we can create and accomplish goals that improve mental health and well-being.
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with over 6 years of experience supporting adolescents, adults, and families. I specialize in helping clients manage bipolar disorder, ADHD, substance use, depression, and anxiety. I aim to create a safe, collaborative space where clients can explore their emotions, build coping skills, and move toward emotional balance and self-empowerment.
I earned my Master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Southern New Hampshire University. My approach incorporates cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, and acceptance and commitment therapy to help clients identify patterns, regulate emotions, and develop healthier coping strategies.
I bring empathy, patience, and genuine understanding to every session. I believe everyone deserves the opportunity to experience happiness and fulfillment. Together, we’ll work toward developing the tools and mindset needed to overcome challenges and create lasting positive change.

Infidelity counseling is a specialized therapeutic approach designed for couples grappling with the aftermath of one or more partner’s infidelity. It offers a nurturing and non-judgmental environment where both individuals can delve into the underlying reasons behind the breach of trust, openly express their feelings, and collaboratively strive to mend their relationship. The overarching objective of infidelity counseling is to either facilitate a path to reconciliation, should both partners desire it, or guide them through the process of separation or divorce with clarity and empathy.
Infidelity counseling combines various therapeutic techniques, such as individual and couples therapy, cognitive behavioral approaches for changing destructive thought patterns, communication skills training for conflict resolution, Emotionally focused therapy (EFT) to rebuild trust, narrative therapy to reframe relationship narratives, and mindfulness practices for managing intense emotions. These methods work together to foster self-awareness, emotional healing, and the reconstruction of trust, leading to a healthier, more resilient relationship.
Infidelity counseling at Thriveworks Knoxville, TN is conducted both in person and online by video. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.
The number of sessions needed for infidelity counseling can greatly vary based on the specific needs of the individuals or couples involved and the complexity of the issues being addressed. Thriveworks infidelity counseling in Knoxville, TN typically includes multiple sessions spanning from several weeks to several months, with the exact number of sessions decided in consultation with the therapist while considering the progress made during therapy and the therapeutic goals.
In America, an estimated 25% of all married individuals will commit an act of infidelity during their married life. Infidelity occurs in essentially all cultures that have been studied, spanning all social classes, and as a phenomenon has a long and pervasive history. However, despite its high incidence, infidelity is condemned by 90% of all married individuals in America.
The paradox of infidelity being widely practiced and widely condemned is undoubtedly noteworthy. There are many different factors that contribute to a person’s decision to cheat – the reasons are personal and differ from one couple to the next. There is no exhaustive list of factors that can cause unfaithfulness in a relationship, although some common triggers may include emotional or sexual dissatisfaction, low self-esteem, or preexisting conflicts over matters unrelated to betrayal. The individuality of circumstances that lead to infidelity creates a situation in which professional help in the form of counseling for infidelity can be of great advantage to a relationship.
If you are struggling after infidelity counseling, reach out to Thriveworks Knoxville for help. Our counselors are here to support you.
The consequences of an act of infidelity can be truly devastating for the victim. Relationships are built upon mutual trust and when this bond is broken by the one you love there is a cascade of intensely emotional responses that develop. Some of the strongest emotions that will be experienced include grief and anger; distrust almost always ensues and is one of the most destructive elements for a relationship during this turbulent period.
Distrust causes the victim to obsess about the act of infidelity, making the individual focus his or her energy on rehashing the events, facts, as well as actions that caused the act of disloyalty – the victim will feel the need to control exactly what the perpetrator is doing, who they are with or where they are at all times.
The act of infidelity can cause the victim to experience an emotional rollercoaster that will be hard to manage – an environment that provides a forum to air your emotions and thoughts with a neutral guide can be liberating for the grieving partner. A professional counselor for infidelity will do just that – he or she will act as an impartial judge, guiding the communication and discussion towards an amicable solution for both parties. Regardless of the outcome, a good counselor will strive to facilitate the best possible resolution for the affected couple.
At Thriveworks Knoxville, our professional counselors offer support to people facing the fallout from an act of infidelity. Thanks to our extensive experience we understand how to look after our clients – we tailor our counseling sessions to the individual needs of every couple. So why not reach out to us today to arrange your first couples counseling session for infidelity? We offer evening and weekend sessions, and we accept most major insurances.
