I welcome individuals, couples, and families of all ages and backgrounds into my office to be heard and seen with compassion. I enjoy helping clients navigate trauma, life stressors, mood disturbances, relationship conflicts, identity, and self-exploration. I use an empowering and comprehensive approach to help clients set effective goals and achieve the results they wish to see in their lives through a personalized blend of therapeutic modalities. Although I am based in humanistic therapy, I am trained in and utilize Brainspotting, Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavior Therapy, Acceptance & Commitment Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Psychodynamic Therapy, and Mindfulness-Based Therapy.

I am committed to lifelong learning and development as a professional, so I can best serve my clients. I received my Masters of Social Work from The University of Tennessee and my Bachelors of Social Work from East Tennessee State University, both where I specialized in clinical psychotherapy and trauma treatment. I am also a Certified Yoga Teacher and love integrating yogic healing into therapy. I also have a variety of clinical field experiences that guide my work as an associate therapist at Water’s Edge Counseling, from working in a pediatric integrated health setting in rural Appalachia to serving in the Peace Corps in Ecuador.

It is an honor to witness the journey and transformation of each of my clients at Water’s Edge Counseling. With the support of this practice, I hope to work toward full clinical licensure under the supervision and guidance of my gifted colleagues.
