Welcome! I’m so glad you’re here! I know the decision to enter therapy can be challenging, especially if you've spoken to professionals before and left disappointed. I work with adults who may appear to be functioning well on the outside while privately struggling with the effects of trauma, shame, difficult relationships, or challenging childhood experiences. My approach to therapy is warm, collaborative, and trauma-informed, and I tailor our work to your individual needs and goals. You don’t need to have everything figured out before beginning therapy, and you don’t have to tell your entire story on day one. I have experience working with clients from diverse backgrounds and age groups, and I believe therapy should provide a safe, supportive space where you can feel understood and begin creating meaningful change. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Tennessee, with a BA in English from the State University of New York and a graduate degree in Clinical Social Work from Fordham University.
