As a Tennessee Licensed Alcohol and Drug Abuse Counselor (LADAC II), I support individuals, couples, and families seeking hope, healing, and lasting recovery. Whether you’re actively using substances, beginning recovery, or working toward deeper emotional sobriety, we’ll create an individualized plan around your needs and goals.
My counseling style is relational, accepting, and free of judgment—meeting you wherever you are in the process. If you’re reading this, you’ve already taken an important step. From here, we can work together to build a healthier, more fulfilling life with greater clarity and confidence.
No two people share the same story, which is why therapy shouldn’t follow a one-size-fits-all approach.
My work is grounded in evidence-based practices including Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Internal Family Systems (IFS) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) recognizing that lasting change happens when we understand the relationship between our thoughts, emotions, behaviors, nervous system, and relationships.
Together, we’ll explore not only what is happening in your life, but why it’s happening. We’ll identify patterns that no longer serve you, strengthen your emotional resilience, and develop practical tools that support lasting growth.
My approach is collaborative, compassionate, and tailored to your unique goals.
If you’re unsure whether your concerns fit into one of these categories, I encourage you to reach out. Counseling can be beneficial for many of life’s challenges—not just times of crisis.
Healthy relationships require more than good communication—they require emotional safety, trust, and connection.
Whether you’re navigating recurring conflict, rebuilding trust, preparing for marriage, or simply feeling disconnected, couples counseling can help you better understand one another, strengthen your relationship, and develop healthier ways of communicating.
My work is informed by Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy (EFCT), an evidence-based approach that helps couples move beyond cycles of conflict and create more secure, attuned relationships.
Families often develop patterns that leave everyone feeling frustrated, unheard, or disconnected. Family counseling creates a space where each person can be understood while working together toward healthier communication, stronger relationships, and more effective ways of solving problems.
Whether your family is navigating substance use, ADHD, adolescence, behavioral concerns or major life transitions, we’ll work together to strengthen the family system as a whole.
Taking the first step toward counseling can feel intimidating, but you don’t have to figure everything out before reaching out.

Therapy isn’t about someone telling you how to live your life. It’s a collaborative process built on trust.
During our work together, you can expect:
Whether we’re addressing long-standing patterns or a recent life challenge, we’ll move at a pace that feels thoughtful, respectful, and productive.
My primary focus is working with adolescents, young adults, adults, couples, and families navigating addiction and recovery. If you’re unsure whether your child is an appropriate fit, I’m happy to discuss your situation during a consultation.
Yes. Depending on your location and needs, virtual counseling may be available, allowing you to receive support from the comfort of your home.
Every person’s goals are different. Some clients benefit from short-term, solution-focused work, while others choose longer-term therapy to address more complex concerns. We’ll regularly evaluate your progress and adjust our work as your needs evolve.
I do not take insurance - however I do offer a sliding scale to those who qualify. I also send a Superbill at the end of each month that you can submit to your insurance carrier for reimbursement.
