My hope is to meet with clients who find themselves scrambling for health and wholeness and whatever that means to them. I believe there is immense power in feeling safe and known and that our wounds and victories both impact our thought processes, relationships, emotions, and behaviors. In life transitions, relational difficulties, and personal struggles, I aim to be an agent of hope and compassion that moves clients towards greater awareness and confidence, and away from self-defeating processes of shame and feelings of unworthiness. As a result, the health of body, mind, soul, and relationships improves.
I am licensed in Tennessee with 5 years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, relationship issues, family conflicts, & trauma and abuse. I have training in the Internal Family Systems approach to therapy, I am EMDR trained (trauma therapy), and I practice an experiential approach to therapy with couples, families, and individuals. With couples, I utilize Emotionally Focused Therapy, a research-validated approach to healing and strengthening couples’ relationships and emotional connection.
I am profoundly grateful when clients allow me into the sacred truths of their inner worlds, into their not-so-curated stories of joy and pain. I believe that YOU are the expert on your own journey and I would consider it an honor to be invited into your unique story and to help you move toward greater health and healing in your life and relationships.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
