About My Clients

I specialize in empowering women to navigate life with confidence, helping them connect with their inner strength and create purposeful paths forward. I work alongside my clients to explore their unique experiences, clarify their values, and build the confidence to embrace change with intention. My approach is collaborative and strengths-based, focusing on helping women align their decisions with their inner wisdom and long-term goals.

My Background and Approach

I earned my bachelor’s degree (BSSW) and PhD from the University of Tennessee and my Master of Social Work (MSW) from the University of Michigan. I’ve worked in both agency settings and private practice, which I established in 2019. I have been fully licensed (LCSW) since 2015. My experience spans many facets of therapy and human growth, allowing me to bring a well-rounded and compassionate perspective to my work.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

In addition to my clinical practice, I pursued a passion project by opening a plant and coffee shop a few years ago. What began as a hobby quickly grew into a thriving business. Recently, I made the intentional decision to close the shop and refocus on my practice, bringing with me valuable insights about starting and ending endeavors with intention and confidence — an experience that deeply informs my work with clients. I am especially passionate about helping women trust their instincts, explore their goals, and embrace new possibilities with clarity and purpose. Whether you’re seeking therapy to heal and grow, coaching to navigate a career or mindset shift, or supervision to advance your clinical practice, I’m here to help you flourish and heal.
