About My Clients
The counseling process requires openness and vulnerability that can be overwhelming. Talking to someone new about your concerns, fears, or anxieties can be intimidating. Bearing your inner self is not easy and requires a strength you may not know you possess. My promises to you: I will never judge you or make you feel unheard. I will create an environment where you feel safe. You are a unique and beautiful being and stronger than you realize. I would be honored to walk with you on this journey.
My Background and Approach
My counseling style / approach has been influenced by my personal journey, as well as my education and experience over the years. In my career I have worked as a clinical case manager for traumatized children, substance abuse counselor, as well as a mental health therapist for inmates in the Tennessee Department of Corrections. My focus is to help my clients heal while becoming aware of their own inner strengths. I will truly listen to you and your concerns. In addition to my degrees, I have many hours of continuing education focusing on trauma because I believe trauma, big or small, is at the root of many of our mental health concerns. You do not have to live with the lasting effects of your trauma. You can heal and I want to help you do exactly that. In addition to being trauma trained, I am a certified Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) therapist. I find DBT to be helpful for many different clients with a variety of concerns.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
The therapy process is a partnership in which we work together to develop a sense of balance, peace, and stability for your life. I value diversity. Regardless of your religion, political views, culture, sexual orientation, gender identity, or whatever else makes you the wonderful, unique individual that you are, I want to help you feel amazing in your own skin. My goal is to create a safe, relaxing, and judgment free space for your journey where you can grow from your struggles, heal from your pain, and move forward to have balance in your life.
