I’m so excited that you found me and we get to do this journey together! What a privilege to walk by your side as you courageously take those first steps towards health, healing and wholeness. I’ve been a therapist for almost 10 years and have practiced in a variety of clinical settings. I’ve held space for clients and therapists experiencing the crushing pain of trauma and taught them skills to restore hope. I would love to join you as we learn how to do hard things together!
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.
I’ve had the privilege of working with clients navigating a wide range of challenges, including trauma, recovery, suicidal ideation, and domestic violence. My clinical work is grounded in evidence-based practices like Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Trauma-Focused approaches. I also integrate modalities such as Internal Family Systems (IFS), Motivational Interviewing, and Solution-Focused Brief Therapy to meet each client where they are.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an Addiction Therapist in Knoxville, TN
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.
