I am a licensed professional counselor in Tennessee and California. I’ve been in the mental health field since 2007. In addition to providing therapy, I have worked at a national level in mental health education and advocacy for my profession. I provide outpatient mental health therapy virtually to Tennessee residents, and meet with clients for sessions Monday-Thursday. I meet with most clients weekly initially, and as progress is made, sessions occur less frequently. I work with teens (16+) and adults who are dealing with stress, difficult transitions and circumstances, traumatic events, grief, discrimination, and systemic marginalization. I specialize in working with people seeking recovery from the abuse they experienced in their families, intimate relationships, workplaces, religious and faith communities, and also survivors of cults and other high-demand/control groups. Additionally, I work with those who are living with mental health concerns such as depression, anxiety, suicide risk, and post-traumatic stress disorder. I also specialize in working with people seeking recovery from substance use, and welcome clients who are active substance users. I enjoy working with clients from diverse backgrounds and strive to offer a safe, affirming space for the LGBTQ+ community, people of color, disabled individuals, and other marginalized groups. Being a military spouse myself, I am honored to work with active military members, their families, and veterans. Those who work with me can expect to experience a safe and supportive space. My approach is very down-to-earth, and I aim to use research-backed therapy interventions in a way that’s accessible and helpful. I believe no two people need the same approach. There is no universal formula for creating positive change. Your path is your own. The job of a counselor is to help you find your footing and support you on your unique journey. I offer all prospective clients a free 15-minute phone consultation to ensure I’m the best fit for your needs and to allow you to ask questions. As of 10/13/25, I am in-network with Aetna, and I am a certified out-of-network provider with Tricare East. I am out-of-network with all insurances at this time.
