About My Clients

Does anxiety keep you on edge, overthinking every decision, or feeling disconnected in your relationships? Maybe you're navigating self-doubt, balancing career and family, or struggling with boundaries in love and life. Whether you’re a woman facing societal pressures or a couple exploring identity in a polyamorous or open relationship, you deserve a space to exhale. With warmth and honesty, I help guide clients to uncover what’s holding them back and build the foundation for lasting change.

My Background and Approach

Therapy isn’t one-size-fits-all. Every client has their own challenges, strengths, and goals, so I tailor my approach to fit your unique needs. I use Solution-Focused Therapy to clarify goals and build momentum, then integrate techniques like CBT, EFT, IFS, Narrative Therapy, Sand Tray Therapy, and Systemic Modalities to deepen the work. Whether you need structure, emotional processing, or a mix of both, we’ll find what works best for you. Real change starts with a strong therapeutic relationship. Without trust and safety, vulnerability and real growth can’t happen. I bring warmth, honesty, and humor into sessions, creating a space where you can be yourself, explore emotions, and build confidence in navigating life’s challenges. I earned my M.A. in Marriage & Family Therapy from Lipscomb and I’ve been supporting clients since 2019. My office is a space where you can settle in, kick off your shoes (I usually do!), and do the important work of healing and growth at your own pace.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I believe everyone deserves a space where they feel safe enough to be themselves, explore who they are, and grow at their own pace. Therapy changed my life, and I see it as one of the greatest gifts we can give ourselves, the chance to be fully seen, supported, and accepted. That’s why I work to create a space where my clients feel free to show up as they are, no matter what they’re carrying. As a fat, neurodivergent woman, I know what it’s like to navigate spaces that weren’t built with you in mind. I’ve experienced both the joys and struggles of life, just like my clients, and I believe that not knowing everything is part of the process. I love learning with my clients and helping them see the normalcy in not having it all figured out. I am deeply affirming of LGBTQIA+ individuals, non-traditional relationships, and all expressions of identity and love. I’m the guide who walks alongside you as you explore new ground. You deserve to be nurtured, supported, and heard.
