About
As a woman of color who has experienced personal trauma and loss, I bring a deep, lived understanding of how painful life circumstances shape us, and I am passionate about empowering others to build the skills necessary for healing, resilience, and lasting growth.
I am a licensed professional counselor with a mental health service provider designation (LPC-MHSP) and 21 years of experience supporting adults ages 18 to 99. I specialize in anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, life transitions, relationship concerns, and identity exploration. I also help clients navigate career stress, caregiving demands, academic pressure, and the impact of cultural and systemic stressors.
I earned my master’s degree in counseling from Freed-Hardeman University. My approach is collaborative, strength-based, and trauma-informed, integrating cognitive behavioral therapy, solution-focused techniques, and mindfulness-based strategies. I am committed to ongoing education and cultural humility in my work.
If you are feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure of your next steps, I am here to walk alongside you. Together, we will build practical tools to strengthen emotional regulation, develop healthier thought patterns, and create meaningful, lasting change in your life.

Sex therapy addresses challenges and concerns, helping couples move forward in a healthy manner while addressing each person’s fears or worries. Sex is the closest form of intimacy, and when there are issues, the couple can feel distant and experience friction — sex therapy helps to dissolve this friction.
Sex therapy providers at Thriveworks in Knoxville, TN take the time to address each person individually, as well as the couple as a whole. Through acknowledgment that each person brings a different sexual history, level of sexual desire, and openness, the couple can work through their unique sex issues successfully, with their therapist’s guidance.
Sex therapy at Thriveworks in Knoxville, TN is conducted both in person and virtually via online therapy. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.
Sex therapy typically lasts for several months. However, it can be shorter or longer, depending on the couple’s needs.
Sex is an issue that cannot be avoided in adult life. In our personal lives, in the media, in our social conversations, we cannot go long without hearing about sex. We were designed to enjoy sex, although many people have a lot of issues, reservations, and painful histories with the topic. Although it is discussed openly in this time in society, it can be very difficult to discuss privately. Even in close relationships, or in marriages, sex is not a topic that is discussed easily.
If you are looking for help with a sexual disorder or sexual issue, Thriveworks Knoxville has trained professionals ready to help. We are discreet, trained professionals, with experience dealing with a wide range of sexual issues. We are a judgment-free zone, ready to openly and honestly help you come to a solution for your sexual issue. Reach out today to get started.
Sexual disorders and issues vary widely. Some common types of sexual issues include:
This is not a complete list but covers a lot of the common sexual problems. Thriveworks Knoxville counselors and therapists are prepared to deal with whatever you bring to our office. There is no need to feel shame or fear. You may have been dealing with this issue since childhood, and are used to keeping it a secret. Or perhaps there is a new trauma or issues in your life that need to be addressed, and you are unsure where to turn. Thriveworks Knoxville is a safe choice. We are ready to partner with you in making this journey to understanding.
When a couple is having sexual compatibility issues, their relationship can suffer in other areas as well. A lack of closeness, intimacy, and decreased connection can result. It can be very unclear whether the sexual issues came before or after other communication issues. A Thriveworks sex therapist or couples counselor can help navigate these issues, and identify the source of sexual problems. For many people, trauma from their childhood or past relationships cause difficulties in future relationships. When a person is able to openly deal with the pain from the past, they can begin to overcome their sexual issues in a new way. Thriveworks Knoxville sex therapists are able to help you on this journey, and monitor your progress.
We know that seeking counseling is not an easy decision for everyone. This may be your first time even considering seeing a therapist or counselor. When you are finally ready to reach out for help, we are ready to join you.
We pride ourselves on not operating with a waiting list. In most cases, we have appointments available within the week for new clients. Plus, we offer evening and weekend sessions, and accept most major insurances. It can be overwhelming to think about telling your story to someone new. But it may be the best decision you have ever made for your relationship, and for yourself. There is no need to suffer alone. Thriveworks Knoxville therapists and counselors are ready to help.
