Therapist

If you feel like you don't quite recognize yourself anymore, mood swings that come out of nowhere, anxiety that wasn't there before, old wounds resurfacing you thought you'd already dealt with, you're not imagining it, and you're not alone in it. I work with women navigating the hormonal and identity shifts of midlife, including perimenopause and menopause, helping you understand what's happening beneath the surface so we can do more than just manage symptoms, and actually get to what's underneath them. I'm a licensed professional counselor (LPC-MHSP) in Tennessee with a master's in clinical mental health counseling and training in EMDR, DBT, CBT, EFT, and Motivational Interviewing. I bring experience from private practice, clinical roles in group practice, and residential treatment work for substance abuse."

Therapist

Virtual • Tennessee


I’m a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with nearly 20 years of experience supporting individuals through life’s challenges, relationship concerns, and major transitions. Reaching out for therapy can feel vulnerable, and I strive to create a warm, welcoming space where you can feel heard, understood, and accepted.

I work with adults experiencing anxiety, communication difficulties, relationship concerns, divorce and separation, life transitions, family-of-origin patterns, and the impact of addiction or problematic alcohol use on relationships and families. I also enjoy working with individuals who want to reconnect, improve communication, rebuild trust, or better understand the patterns that keep them feeling stuck.

My approach is compassionate, practical, solution-focused, and tailored to your unique needs. I draw from Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Gottman Method principles, cognitive-behavioral strategies, solution-focused therapy, and family systems perspectives. Together, we’ll explore what is happening, identify your strengths and goals, and develop meaningful, achievable steps toward change.

Therapy can be a place to speak openly without judgment while gaining tools to feel more confident, connected, and hopeful. Whether you’re navigating a difficult transition, feeling stuck in old patterns, or hoping to build healthier relationships, I’m here to support you as you move forward.

Hello! I'm a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) and a Licensed Independent Mental Health Practitioner (LIMHP) based in Tennessee. I am also licensed in the states of UT and NE. I have been in practice for 15 years. I love working with clients who are genuinely seeking therapy for their own growth and awareness. I enjoy helping clients who want to take a deeper look at behaviors and relationships in their lives that could be modified and or improved. I started my career in community mental health working with individuals who were suffering from addiction, childhood trauma, family conflict, and faith crisis. I feel like I have learned the true impact addiction, poverty, trauma, and abuse can have on an individual and family system. This has helped me create space for clients to feel safe, heard, valued, and respected in our sessions. I look forward to meeting you!
