- LMFT
As a licensed therapist in Tennessee, I bring over a decade of experience supporting individuals through complex emotional landscapes. My practice centers on helping clients navigate challenges like depression, anxiety, relationship difficulties, and trauma with compassion and depth.
I specialize in addressing men's mental health, communication barriers, and life transitions. My approach is particularly attuned to supporting older adults and individuals seeking faith-aligned counseling. I understand the profound impact of isolation, shame, and life purpose struggles, and I'm committed to creating a supportive environment where healing and personal growth can flourish.
My therapeutic work focuses on helping clients process difficult experiences, rebuild connections, and develop resilience. Whether you're dealing with mood disorders, relationship conflicts, or seeking guidance through significant life changes, I offer a thoughtful, understanding approach that honors your unique journey.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
