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.

As a woman who has experienced counseling of her own prior to becoming educated in the field, I understand how important reaching out for help is!
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with a Mental Health Service Provider designation (LPC-MHSP) in the state of Tennessee. I have years of experience working with clients as young as 4 and as old as 65. I specialize in treating anxiety, depression, adjustment-related issues, PTSD, personality disorders, relationships and marital issues, gender dysphoria- or identity-related issues, grief, and more.
I utilizes an integrative treatment approach to match my client's needs, but mostly I utilize cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and an overall person centered approach to guide my sessions. This along with my professional experience and compassion for helping others, enables me to provide a safe space for my clients and to not feel alone in their journey.
I am confident that I can help you work through the mental health concerns or conditions you might be experiencing. I also congratulate you for having the courage to take the first step toward reaching out. If you are ready to work together and take the next step in your mental health journey, schedule an appointment with me today!
You deserve dedicated time with a mental health professional — it can be life-changing.

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.
