Accepting new clients. Insurance accepted and flexible scheduling.
Let’s begin your healing journey today.
I began my counseling career as a school counselor. I have been an LPC/MHSP since 2010. I am an empty nester with three successful adult sons that I raised on my own. I am highly neurodivergent and gifted at the use of multiple modalities in treating complex trauma. This is NOT talk therapy. This a working collaboration. I meet my client where they are and challenge them to reach their goals.
As your therapist, my primary goal is to provide a safe, non-judgmental space where you feel genuinely heard and understood. Together, we will explore the challenges you are facing and identify actionable steps to help you move forward. My practice focuses on building practical coping strategies tailored to your unique lifestyle and goals. You can expect a collaborative relationship built on trust, respect, and mutual dedication to your personal growth.
I help adults who are overwhelmed by grief, stress, or major life changes find direction and relief again.
Therapy with me is about taking pressure off your shoulders and replacing it with calm, clarity, and the support you deserve.
I am an individual counseling with over 12 years of experience at the Post-Graduate level. I specialize in working with adults and have experience with many clinical settings, including In-patient care, community mental health and private practice. I also provide Clinical Supervision for counselors that are on track to become licensed in the state of Tennessee.

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.
