Learn MoreAbout Me
As a licensed therapist in Tennessee, I bring over 30 years of dedicated experience supporting individuals through complex life challenges. My practice centers on helping clients navigate depression, relationship dynamics, trauma recovery, and personal growth. I specialize in working with men, veterans, first responders, and individuals managing mood disorders, offering a compassionate and understanding approach.
My therapeutic style is rooted in Christian values and a conservative perspective, creating a safe space for clients seeking aligned counseling. I focus on holistic healing, addressing challenges like communication difficulties, body image concerns, sexual assault recovery, and multicultural experiences. My approach emphasizes self-love, healthy coping strategies, and rebuilding personal resilience.
I am committed to walking alongside clients through their unique journeys, offering professional guidance with empathy and respect. Whether you’re dealing with posttraumatic stress, family dynamics, or personal transformation, I’m here to support your path toward healing and growth.
