About

I believe healing begins when you feel truly seen, heard, and accepted. My goal is to create a safe, compassionate, and collaborative space where you can explore life’s challenges, reconnect with your strengths, and discover new ways of moving forward.

I work with adolescents, adults, and older adults (ages 11–81) and tailor each session to your unique needs rather than relying on a one-size-fits-all approach. I integrate a variety of evidence-based and experiential approaches, including expressive arts therapy, person-centered therapy, solution-focused therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), meditation, Brainspotting, Internal Family Systems (IFS), Constructive Awareness (CA), and psychodynamic therapy. Whether you are navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, relationship concerns, or a significant life transition, I will work alongside you to help you better understand yourself and create meaningful, lasting change.

I earned a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology, a Master’s degree in Education with a concentration in Assessment and Measurement, and a Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from the University of West Georgia. I am currently a PhD candidate in Counselor Education and Supervision at the University of the Cumberlands, where my research focuses on the use of expressive arts therapy with adults living with cancer.

My advanced training includes Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), Brainspotting, Counseling on Access to Lethal Means (CALM), Psychological First Aid, play therapy, filial therapy, expressive arts therapy, and clinical hypnosis. I continue to pursue advanced education because I believe the best care comes from continually learning and integrating new approaches that support the whole person.

While I enjoy working with a wide range of concerns, I am especially passionate about helping individuals who are experiencing trauma, grief, challenging life transitions, caregiver stress, or existential questions about identity, purpose, and meaning. Together, we will work toward greater self-awareness, resilience, and healing so you can find your voice, embrace your authentic self, and create a life that feels more connected, intentional, and fulfilling.
