Life can be challenging. Are you feeling hopeless, discouraged or having difficulty in finding meaning in your life? It may be time to dive into therapy to gain tools that will help you on your path. I enjoy working with people who feel “stuck” in their current lifestyle, and strive to provide them with helpful remedies to cope and improve their current journey. I have been practicing as a clinician for over 15 years assisting clients and families cope with relationship problems, domestic violence, disordered eating patterns and substance abuse. I utilize an eclectic approach to therapy based upon the individual's needs and goals for the therapeutic process. My experience has encompassed grief and loss, trauma, emotional regulation and behavioral issues.

I have worked with individuals and families seeking counsel in a wide variety of environments including schools, prisons and university settings. I have a particular interest in working with adolescents and their families. I have completed both voluntary and court-ordered individual and family therapies. I strive to help families unify when they are coming through conflict with the goal of identifying commonality.

Formerly employed by Vanderbilt University, Woodland Hills Youth Development Center in Nashville, as well as Athena Consulting and Psychological Services, LLC. I am open for individual as well as family therapy as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the State of Tennessee. My goal is to help individuals and families develop a greater self-awareness around their behaviors and learn healthier coping strategies. In addition to helping people get to a better place in their lives, I enjoy music, being physically active, and spending time with my family.
