Welcome! Thank you so much for visiting my website and for your interest in my practice.
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker serving clients in both Tennessee and Florida. I have over two decades of experience in my field. I consider it a true honor to walk alongside individuals on their journey toward healing, growth and lasting change. Whether you are navigating emotional struggles, spiritual questions, or life transitions, I am here to offer a compassionate, supportive and professional space where you can experience meaningful progress and change.
In my practice, I work with individuals facing a variety of emotional and mental health concerns including; anxiety, depression, grief, OCD, parenting challenges, difficult life transitions, and breaking unwanted habits. One of my primary specialities is trauma resolution. It doesn’t matter if you are dealing with the effects of a single significant event, or a pattern of smaller, cumulative traumatic experiences. These events can leave a lasting impact, often manifesting as anxiety, depression, physical symptoms, or relational difficulties. I use evidence based trauma resolution techniques that can help you feel better, break free from the past, and begin living more fully in the present.
I also have a deep love for neuroscience and understanding how the brain works, learns, adapts, and heals. This fascination fuels my approach to therapy. When we understand the brain’s wiring and how patterns of thought, emotion, and behavior are formed, we are better equipped to create real, lasting change. Clients tell me all the time that what they “know” and how they “feel” are not in alignment, making change difficult. I can help get those two things back in agreement. Then therapy isn’t just about symptom relief, but about helping the brain shift from what’s familiar (but unhelpful) towards what is truly desired and life-giving.
As a Christian Counselor, I also offer faith-based counseling for those who wish to incorporate their Christian beliefs into the therapeutic process. For clients who seek it, we can integrate Biblical truth, prayer, and spiritual insight into sessions to support emotional healing and spiritual growth. I believe that true healing addresses the whole person; mind, body and spirit. I strive to create a space where faith and clinical expertise work hand-in-hand.
I am passionate about my work and deeply committed to continued learning to ensure I provide the most effective care possible. I am certified in Trauma-Informed Hypnotherapy and Memory Reconsolidation. Other approaches I utilize include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solutions Focused Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Somatic Experiencing and other integrative, supportive approaches. Since no one-size-fits-all approach works for every client, I draw from a wide range of tools to meet each person where they are and hep them reach their desired outcomes.
My professional certifications include the American Association of Christian Counselors, the American Society for Clinical Hypnosis, and the Institute for Trauma Informed Hypnotherapy. I also serve on the board and I am a co-leader and coach for the Institute for Trauma Informed Hypnotherapy.
No matter what you are facing, you don’t have to face it alone. Whether you are looking for practical tools, emotional healing, or a deeper sense of spiritual clarity and peace, I would be honored to walk alongside you in this season of your life.
