About
As an individual who has experienced anxiety and depression, I understand the value of having support to help you navigate through these issues. I would love to be that support for you and walk alongside you as you become the best version of yourself!
I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor with a Mental Health Service Provider qualification (LPC-MHSP) with 7 years of experience. I'm passionate about helping children, adolescents, adults, and families with young children address challenges to live a better and more meaningful life. I specialize in depression, anxiety, grief, trauma, addiction, behavioral issues in children, and major life changes. I completed my Master's in Clinical Mental Health Counseling at Milligan University. My personal mental health experiences coupled with my education and professional experience enable me to give clients the support they seek.
I utilize multiple treatment approaches based on the client's individual needs, including mindfulness/grounding techniques, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), motivational interviewing, parent-child interaction therapy (PCIT), and eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR).
Reaching out for help can be very intimidating, so I commend you for your courage in taking this step! I provide a compassionate, empathetic, supportive, and non-judgmental environment to walk alongside clients as they work toward meeting their goals. If you're ready to begin this journey, schedule with me today.

Thriveworks Couples therapy helps couples work through their specific relationship issues. It is led by licensed professionals — often licensed marriage and family therapists (LMFTs) — who are experts in their field and best-equipped to help couples. Some examples of common focuses within couples therapy include:
Couples therapy works by helping couples identify and better navigate their unique challenges. Following an initial assessment of the couple in terms of strengths and needs, the therapist would then discuss their therapeutic goals and any possible approaches or ways of working together as therapist and couple.Couples attend sessions together, whether they meet in person or by video. In addition to regular couples therapy sessions, each partner may also be asked to attend a few individual sessions to supplement their progress. This will allow their counselor to get to know each individual better, assess each of their personal needs, and develop the very best treatment plan moving forward.
Couples therapy at Thriveworks is conducted both in person and via Online therapy. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you and your partner.
On average, couples attend couples therapy for 12 weeks. However, couples therapy may last longer or shorter, dependent on the couples’ needs, the challenges they’d like to work through, and the pace of their progress.
We’re glad you’ve taken the time to consider how couples therapy might benefit the health of your relationship. All relationships experience positive and negative seasons, ups and downs.
Yours is no different. What you’re experiencing right now is likely not what your relationship was like when you first got together and is inevitably different from what your relationship could be like in the near future. If you think your relationship could benefit from professional help, reach out to Thriveworks Knoxville today to schedule an appointment.
Often explicit circumstances—like parenting, infidelity, trust issues, or problems getting along — drive our clients to seek professional guidance. In other cases, couples choose to see a therapist based on a sense that their relationship is missing something. Others come because they want for more intimacy and connection.
It’s perfectly normal to feel apprehensive or overwhelmed at the prospect of talking about the personal issues in your relationship. If you’re like some of our clients, one partner might be ready for therapy while the other has some reservations. However, years of experience in the field tell us that making a commitment to change is far more effective and fruitful when done under the guidance of a professional.
Thriveworks licensed counselors listen to your story. We assess the needs and goals of the individuals in counseling and the needs and goals of the relationship. Our job is to offer you new tools to help navigate through your specific issues and arrive a place of understanding and resolution. Our therapists don’t tell you what decisions to make. We facilitate conversation and practices that develop a fuller understanding of your sense of self, family history, and relationship dynamics. That’s how real change happens.
Relationships are complex, and explaining your history to a third party may feel daunting. That’s why we hire therapists who are warm, compassionate, and focused listeners. There is no “right” way or “wrong” way to arrive at a session. Our therapists are prepared to meet you exactly where you are.
We understand that the circumstances that drive couples to therapy can be emotionally intense, so we make a point to be absolutely accessible to our clients. We’ve made it easy for you to get in touch. Our counselors are often able to meet with new clients within the same week of them reaching out to schedule.
Finally, Thriveworks Knoxville couples counseling is pleased to accept most insurance plans. We believe cost should never be an obstacle to pursuing couples counseling.
We believe investment in your emotional wellness is just as essential to your overall health as regular exercise and proper nutrition. Couples counseling can be a powerful tool in bringing balance to your personal life and relationship.
