Clinical Team

I am a licensed clinical social worker and have been working in private practice since 2017. I received a bachelors degree in psychology with a minor in sociology from the University of Southern Indiana. I then received a masters degree in social work from Austin Peay State University, graduating with honors.

I truly love what I do; making a difference in this world one person at a time brings me joy.

Are you ready for change? Let's work together to create a plan, an action plan, of how we can get you to where you want to be. I provide a supportive and non-judgmental environment where you can explore your thoughts and feelings, gain insights into your behavior, and develop strategies for positive change. I specialize in treating anxiety, phobias, obsessive-compulsive disorder, grief, stress, and trauma/PTSD through the use of exposure and response prevention therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, sand tray therapy, client-centered therapy, internal family systems (IFS) informed EMDR, and Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART).

My role as a therapist is to guide, support, and empower you through your journey of healing and reaching your potential. I would be honored to support you through your journey. 

I am a Registered Play Therapist™ and am passionate about working with children, specifically through the use of play therapy techniques. Play is the way children communicate, thereby making it the best way to understand a child. I utilize evidence-based techniques to help children struggling with anxiety, behavioral issues, depression, transitions, trauma, divorce/separation, among others. I assist children and their parents to develop coping skills, improve self-esteem, and create strong caregiver/child bonds.  

When working with children, I require periodic parent consultation meetings where I provide support and psychoeducation of various skills to promote growth outside of therapy sessions. I am also able to provide evidenced based parent interventions, when needed, including Child-Parent Relationship Therapy (CPRT) and Circle of Security Parenting (COSP).

• Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT)
• Child Centered Play Therapy (CCPT)
• Synergetic Play Therapy (SPT)
• Child-Parent Relationship Therapy (CPRT)
• Circle of Security Parenting (COSP) Facilitator 
• Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP)
• Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR)
• Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART)

I am a licensed professional counselor with an M.Ed. in Counselor Education from the University of Mississippi. I am very passionate about providing quality mental health treatment and giving clients a safe space to work through their feelings and learn new skills.  

 I offer individual therapy for children 8+, adolescents, and adults. My therapeutic approach based in Person- Centered and utilizing skills from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectic Behavioral Therapy, and Acceptance Commitment Therapy. I typically treat clients with Anxiety, Depression, ADHD, Autism Spectrum Disorder, experiencing grief and loss, and adjustment difficulties.

My role as a counselor is to help clients gain insights into their diagnosis, patterns of behaviors, and teach skills to help with communication and emotional regulation skills. Together we can help work towards therapeutic goals and personal growth. 

I also work with my therapy dog partner, Paisley, who joins in sessions. Having a therapy animal in session can provide additional emotional support and comfort for clients. However, she can be crated during our sessions per request. Learn more about Paisley under her own bio!

It is one of the greatest honors to walk alongside you as you heal, grow, and work through the different parts of you.

Are you feelings stuck? Whether it's your career, relationship, daily grind, or just feeling trapped internally, sometimes it seems like no matter how hard you try, you just can't move forward. This feeling can block your growth, connections, and bring about pain and confusion. But here's the good news: how you tackle these challenges can make all the difference in creating a fulfilling and positive life.

I'm here to help you see that you’re more than your problems and that the roadblocks in your path can be overcome with a bit of guidance. Through narrative and acceptance commitment therapy, we can tackle these obstacles together.

I offer services to individuals of all ages and backgrounds, with a special emphasis on the BIPOC community, couples, veterans and active military and their families.  My approach is authentic and customized to meet you precisely where you are in your journey. You are the expert of your own life, and my role is to help you connect the dots when things feel unclear.

Together, we can create a space where you regain control and rewrite your story. Whether you’re dealing with intrusive thoughts, trauma, broken relationships, or uncovering who you want to become, I’m here to support you.

Feeling stuck can be exhausting. Whether it’s work, relationships, or just the weight of everyday life, it can seem like no matter how hard you try, things don’t move forward. That “stuck” feeling can make it hard to see your own strengths, and sometimes it feels like you’re carrying it all alone.
That’s where I come in. I’m here to remind you that you are more than your struggles. Together, we’ll create a space where you feel seen, supported, and understood. My goal is to walk alongside you, helping you connect the dots and find a path forward that feels both hopeful and authentic.

Therapy Modalities I Use
I don’t believe in a “one-size-fits-all” approach. Instead, I use tools that match your needs, such as:

• Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT): Discovering what matters most to you and learning to live more fully in alignment with your values.
  
• EMDR Therapy: Helping your mind and body heal from trauma and painful memories.
  
• Internal Family Systems (IFS)/Parts Work: Exploring the different parts of you with compassion and curiosity.
  
• Narrative Therapy: Supporting you in rewriting your story so it highlights your resilience and strengths.
  

Every step is paced with your comfort in mind, always keeping your healing and growth at the center.

Who I Work With
I work with teens (16+), adults, and couples, providing telehealth sessions only. Some of the people I especially enjoy supporting include:

• Members of the BIPOC community
  
• Veterans, active-duty service members, and their families (as a veteran myself, I get it)
  
• Couples navigating transitions or working on reconnection
  
• Individuals healing from trauma, anxiety, or broken relationships
  
• Anyone facing life transitions or trying to rediscover themselves"

Hi, I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor committed to creating a safe, compassionate space where healing can begin. 

 I work with children, teens, and adults through a trauma-focused and attachment-informed lens, helping clients navigate everything from early childhood wounds to present-day overwhelm. When we feel truly safe and supported, lasting change becomes possible. I am focused on pacing sessions in a way that is aligned with your nervous system and fosters a sense of safety in the body.  

 I also support mothers coping with postpartum depression, and parents facing the emotional challenges of raising children.  

The primary therapeutic modalities I use include EMDR and trauma-informed hypnosis—powerful approaches for processing trauma and reconnecting with inner safety. I also utilize parts work/IFS-informed approaches, sand tray therapy, CBT, and DBT. I work with supporting individuals with complex trauma and dissociative disorders, veterans with combat related and/or service-related trauma as well as adults and teens struggling with anxiety. Faith can be a powerful source of support—I'm honored to offer Christian-informed care for those who request it.

Whether you're feeling stuck in old patterns, overwhelmed by caregiving, or struggling to feel like yourself, I’m here to walk alongside you with compassion and curiosity.

I am a certified, out of network provider with Tri-Care.

Welcome! I am a licensed professional counselor with a passion for providing meaningful therapeutic experiences for every client I serve. In my work, I prioritize the therapeutic relationship and intentionally craft an environment of security, openness, acceptance, warmth, humor, and sensitivity. I am a good fit for clients searching for a nurturing, nonjudgmental, and encouraging therapist. I aim to be flexible and regularly invite my clients to share feedback to ensure that our work is collaborative and purposeful. I can’t promise that therapy won’t be uncomfortable, difficult, or even painful at times but I can promise that you will be safe, respected, and cherished throughout our work together. I would be grateful for the opportunity to hear your story, hold your pain, and guide you through healing.

Safety, respect, autonomy, and empowerment are some of my primary values both personally and professionally. I provide therapeutic services to children, teens, and adults experiencing a wide range of stressors and challenges, including depression, anxiety, trauma, grief, relationship distress, self-harm, suicidal ideation, life transitions, women’s issues, and more. My primary approach is person-centered as I firmly believe that clients are the experts in their lives and experiences, although I do incorporate additional interventions and modalities, such as sandtray, expressive arts, mindfulness, Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Solution-Focused Therapy in order to ensure that my clients are provided with a treatment that is unique to their background, comfort, needs, and goals. 

I have experience providing counseling to children as young as three years old and am dedicated to creating a safe therapeutic environment in which even the littlest of clients can explore and overcome their challenges. I am trained in Child-Centered Play Therapy (CCPT) and Adlerian Play Therapy (AdPT) and work to establish an individualized treatment approach to best suit the needs of my clients and their family systems. I have experience working with children who are impacted by anxiety, phobias, trauma, grief, attachment ruptures, life adjustments, behavioral concerns, depression, Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder, and more. I find it necessary to include caregivers in the therapeutic process and often encourage parent consultations in order to honor and support those closest to the children under my therapeutic care. I know it can be frightening and uncomfortable to ask for help and to place your trust and your child’s care into the hands of another. I do not take this role lightly and I consider it a significant privilege to be part of your child’s growth and healing.

Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) is an evidence-based form of psychotherapy that utilizes eye movements to support clients in addressing common concerns associated with phobias, anxiety, grief, Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), and more. The goal of ART is to process negative and often distressing images and sensations stored from previous experiences in order to relieve clients of intrusive and lingering symptoms. ART is noted to be a relatively brief treatment method, with clients often reporting relief following one session. I am a trained and certified ART practitioner and have witnessed tremendous healing as a result of this treatment method. I am happy to engage clients solely in Accelerated Resolution Therapy or to incorporate it into longer-term treatment depending on the needs, desires, and appropriateness of each client.

 Do you feel weighed down by anxiety, depression, trauma, or grief? Do you find yourself stuck in unhealthy thought patterns or lying awake at night with worries that make it hard to rest?

Deep down, you may be hoping for relief, a sense of understanding, and a path toward healing and hope.

In our work together, you will find a safe and supportive space where you are seen and understood. I use person-centered therapy, trauma-focused cognitive-behavioral therapy, and narrative therapy in a way that best fits your needs. Therapy is not about fixing you, it is about rediscovering your strength, finding your voice, and creating new ways to grow.
I know reaching out for help can feel overwhelming, but you do not have to face this alone. Healing is possible, and you deserve support along the way. When you are ready to take the next step, I would be honored to walk beside you on this journey.

I truly believe that one of the bravest things you can do is show up for yourself, again and again. Your story deserves to be heard, and you deserve to be understood. As your therapist, my role is to walk alongside you on your journey, supporting and empowering you while also gently challenging you to grow into the most authentic and fulfilled version of yourself.

Creating a warm and healing space for clients to share their life experiences is one of my greatest honors, and it’s a responsibility I approach with care and intention. I strive to provide a non-judgmental environment where you can explore the tough questions, process your thoughts and emotions, and feel both challenged and validated in the process.

I look forward to working with you and supporting your journey. I work with dI offer both in-person and telehealth sessions, with availability during the week and on weeknights to best accommodate your schedule.

Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) is an evidence-based psychotherapy that uses eye movements to help clients work through challenges such as phobias, anxiety, grief, and Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). ART focuses on resolving and processing the distressing images and sensations connected to past experiences, which often brings meaningful relief from intrusive and lingering symptoms. ART is unique in that many clients notice improvement in a relatively short amount of time, sometimes even after just one session. As a trained ART practitioner, I have witnessed the powerful healing this approach can offer. ART can be used as a stand-alone therapy or integrated into ongoing treatment, depending on each client’s needs and goals. 

• Parents and caregivers struggling with behavioral concerns, attachment trauma/disruption, and parenting challenges. 
• Individual adults who have experienced trauma, life stressors, domestic violence, sexual assault/abuse, grief/loss, and relationship struggles. 
• Children and teens who have experienced trauma, ADHD, autism behavioral concerns, and grief/loss.

Van Gogh once said, “If I am worth anything later, I am worth something now. For wheat is wheat, even if people think it is a grass in the beginning.” I believe that no matter where you are in your healing process, you deserve compassion, understanding, and acceptance. Change only starts to occur once we can truly accept ourselves and confront the shame and guilt we've accumulated. Behaviors and coping skills usually serve an adaptive function at some point in time! In other words, we need to make peace with the dark instead of trying to run away from it.

I offer individual therapy for people ages 4+. My passion is working with kids and I utilize child-centered play therapy as my main modality. In a play therapy session, you and your child can expect an environment that assists children in accessing the unconscious thoughts, emotions, and beliefs they grapple with along with co-regulation to promote safety.
My goal as a therapist is to build a therapeutic relationship that feels authentic, compassionate, and rooted in care. When working with kids, it is important that I not only connect with the kiddos in that way, but also with their families. With my adults, you can expect a therapist who uses humor, gentle challenging, & insight-building!

I offer individual therapy for adults and children & couples therapy. I have experience working with children ages 3+, using techniques from child-centered play therapy to promote esteem-building, emotional regulation, self-control, and returning responsibility. I also use cognitive-behavioral therapy to help address behaviors & its natural consequences.

My goal as a therapist is to provide empowerment, compassion, and unconditional positive regard to everyone who walks into my room. It is time for you to tell your story instead of letting your story tell you!
