Hi, I’m a Licensed Master Social Worker currently under supervision for licensure in the state of Tennessee. I hold a Master’s in Social Work from the University of Tennessee. I joined Maryville Counseling in October 2024 as a part-time therapist.

I am passionate about supporting my clients through a humanistic approach. I am dedicated to meeting my clients where they are and working alongside them to restoration and growth. I offer client paced therapy with a specialized focus on trauma and PTSD. As a Veteran I bring a unique perspective particularly to the Veteran, military, and First Responder demographic. I emplore a variety of therapies including CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy), DBT (Dialectical Behavior Therapy), strengths-based therapy, and motivational interviewing modalities. My goal in using these methods is to empower clients to identify and achieve goals to overcome challenges.

In addition to trauma and PTSD, I also assist clients in issues related to anxiety, depression, and coping strategies. I am certified in Alpha-Stim therapy. This is a non-pharmaceutical therapy that allows clients to treat anxiety, depression, insomnia, and pain by working with the bodies own systems.

I provide individual counseling and some family, couples, and marital counseling with a focus on improving communication. I provide Christian/Faith-based counseling. I have two therapy dogs, Buddy and Juliet, who accompany me and comforter not only me but my clients.
