I have the honor of working with individuals experiencing disordered eating, binge eating disorder, body image concerns, depression, and anxiety. I believe that treatment is a collaborative effort: I bring the research evidence and clinical expertise, and clients bring knowledge of themselves, lived, personal experience, and therapy goals. Together we work to establish a treatment plan to meet their needs. Compassion and empathy are the hallmark of my relationship with my clients. I am...

ADHD is more than inattention or being unable to sit still. It affects nearly every aspect of our lives. Maybe you're struggling with procrastination, losing things, feeling "edgy" and like you're constantly forgetting something, missing deadlines. Perhaps you push yourself to get started on something, only to get distracted in the middle of it. You're constantly spinning your wheels but feel like you've gotten nothing done. Those of us with ADHD often feel shame and embarrassment from our actio...
Clients who experience the most benefit while working me are those who seek therapy because they are feeling stuck, like they've been living out a script that keeps repeating itself, and who want to make progress moving forward. If you've noticed dynamics within your family or in your past that keep repeating in your relationships, at work, or as barriers to your goals, then my therapeutic approach may be a helpful intervention. If you live in East Tennessee, we have the option of taking our ses...
I am here to tell you that your body is not something that needs to be fixed. I consider myself to be a body inclusive therapist who specializes in helping clients recover from disordered eating behaviors, weight stigma, body image concerns and impacts from diet culture. I also serve clients experiencing depression and anxiety symptoms, family issues (such as divorce & addiction), adjustment issues, impacts from COVID-19 and trauma (such as intimate partner violence & sexual assault). I currentl...
How we relate to others depends deeply on how we were related to, especially in our formative childhood years. Allowing yourself permission to explore your human experience is both challenging and ultimately, freeing. Where there has been unwanted and unexpected change, pain, and loss, there is space for redemption. In the counseling relationship, the foundation for healing is fostered through a safe, empathic, and shame-free environment; being met exactly as you are, where you are. We would...
Do you feel like anxious thoughts, relationship stress, or negative self-image control your life? My clients are tired of feeling like they aren't "enough", physically, emotionally, professionally, or romantically. Let's untangle your self-worth from the judgement of friends, family, and partners. You are more than your anxiety, depression, or eating disorder. My clients describe my therapy style as non-judgmental, open, and solution focused. Therapy is your time. You deserve a therapist who ...
By now, you’ve probably scrolled through countless profiles, thinking, "None of these people feel right for me—who even are they?" Maybe you’ve tried therapy before but never felt like your therapist truly "got it." And yet, you know it can be helpful. Something has got to change because the way things are right now just isn’t working. You’ve managed to get by—you’ve handled the worries, feel like you've moved (mostly) past the traumas (if you can even call them that, you wonder). But "gettin...
I specialize in working with clients struggling with grief, anxiety, OCD, depression, life transitions, body image, and disordered eating. I have a special interest in working with those suffering after the loss of a loved one or feeling overwhelmed by the pressures of caregiver responsibilities. My clients often express feeling disconnected from themselves and in their relationships. They have thoughts like, "no one will understand" or "what if's" followed by fears of being judged, seen as a...
One of the reasons I moved my practice downtown was to be more convenient for young adults. College is one of the most stressful and uncertain times in life. Many of my college aged clients find themselves experiencing a re-occurrence of childhood trauma,depression and anxiety. New struggles with social anxiety , OCD and relationship issues can emerge in this transitional and complex time of life. The down to earth and experiential nature of my treatment methods seem to make people feel comfort...
Life can be so difficult. You are tired of struggling with the voices insider your head telling you that you are not good enough. You are tired of second guessing yourself and overthinking everything. You deserve to feel better about your life and create the best version of you. Imagine feeling more confident and less anxious. Imagine resolving the past so that it no longer impacts your daily life. Imagine getting a hold of your emotions so they are more manageable. Are you ready to take th...

One day you realize, "I do not know this person I see in the mirror". It's heartbreaking going day to day feeling unfulfilled and knowing that something is off.

Change is not linear. I have come to understand the numerous challenges in life that can make you feel as if you have gone nowhere. The anxiety that sets in is alarming and the depression that may later consume you feels debilitating. However, I have also come to understand the impact that we have on our own suffering: how we often jump to "I can't" instead of "I can try." We have all found ourselves deep in self-doubt, feeling stuck in the symptoms of depression and anxiety. Are you looking for...
