I am an LCSW with a Master's of Social Work degree and have been in field over 12 years.
I’m a person-centered therapist with more than ten years of experience helping people navigate grief, anxiety, depression, addiction, relationship struggles, family conflict, heartbreak, abuse, and trauma. I work with a broad range of clients and bring specialized training in EMDR and trauma-focused care to my practice. I know what it is to struggle, and I believe healing begins when you no longer have to face that struggle alone. My role is to meet you where you are, help you imagine where you want to be, and walk alongside you as you find the courage to get there.
I have a broad variety of therapeutic experience to include crisis intervention and trauma informed care. I received my master's degree in professional counseling from Liberty University in Lynchburg, VA and have been practicing in the field for over 10yrs.
If you are looking to develop a greater understanding of yourself, a situation, or are looking for tools to better navigate life, we may be a fit.
I get it—feeling stuck in the same old patterns, craving deeper connections, and wondering how to even begin to break free can be exhausting. If you’re anything like the people I work with (and honestly, like I once was myself), you’ve probably spent a lot of time thinking, “Something has to change... but what?” That’s where I come in.
I am available to care for individuals who require non-standard and flexible appointment hours including evenings; and, with a focus on working adults/professionals, students, elderly, those with challenges due to their illness, and so forth. I am also open to taking on patients who need continuity of care after discharge from inpatient care. I am capable of providing on the spot medication management including deprescribing/tapers, addressing interactions, taking over from primary care provider for more advance regiment, etc ...

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Knoxville
Searching for therapists in Knoxville starts with knowing what kind of support you want and which therapist experience matches that need. Knoxville therapists may support people with concerns such as anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, relationship challenges, and life transitions. As you compare options, look for a therapist whose listed specialties, therapy style, and experience align with what you want to address. Provider profiles can help you understand whether a therapist uses approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, or acceptance and commitment therapy.
In a mid-size city like Knoxville, your best fit may be near neighborhoods such as Bearden, Fort Sanders, Old City, or available by virtual appointment from elsewhere in Tennessee. Some people prefer an office close to home, work, or school, while others choose virtual therapy for more scheduling options. Beyond specialty, compare appointment availability, whether the therapist is accepting new patients, and whether a free phone consultation is offered. Reading each bio can give you a clearer sense of communication style, session structure, and what to expect before you book.
Therapy in Knoxville may be more affordable with insurance, and costs can vary based on your provider, location, and coverage. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before care begins. Headway makes that process easier by helping you find Knoxville therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, show available appointment times, and offer upfront cost estimates after you enter your insurance details. You can browse therapists, review bios, and book directly when you are ready.
