I believe therapy should be a space where you can be your authentic self—a safe, judgment-free space where you feel respected, heard, and understood. My approach is client-centered, collaborative, and compassionate. I work with each client to understand their unique experiences, strengths, and goals. My goal is to help you better understand yourself, navigate challenges, increase your coping skills, and feel more confident moving forward.

I begin by taking time to get to know you and what brings you to therapy. Together, we will identify goals for therapy and explore your thoughts, emotions, and circumstances that may be impacting your well-being. We will work collaboratively to develop a treatment approach individualized to your needs, strengths, and goals.

I earned my master’s degree in Clinical Counseling Psychology from La Salle University in Philadelphia, PA, and have specialized training in ERP for OCD.

I value open communication and believe you should guide your own treatment. Together, we set clear goals based on your needs and values. I provide a warm, supportive, and non-judgmental space where you feel heard and respected. I am flexible rather than following a strict session plan, and I welcome humor when appropriate.

I begin by learning about your history, concerns, goals, and what you want me to know about you. I keep the initial session conversational rather than making it feel like an interrogation.

When not working, I regularly participate in professional training, enjoy volunteering and participating in community and sorority events, collecting Disney paraphernalia, traveling, sewing, attending sci-fi conventions, and spoiling my nieces and nephews.

My treatment is tailored to building the therapeutic relationship and is customized to the individual, using person-centered treatment with the purpose of making the patient feel whole. I focus on stress and anxiety, relationship issues, family conflicts, anger management, trauma, and depression, as well as issues related to abuse, intimacy, career difficulties, codependency, divorce and separation, family problems, forgiveness, infidelity, jealousy, life purpose, men's issues, midlife crisis, and self-love. I employ several therapeutic methods, including Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Mindfulness Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy.

I attended Medaille University in Buffalo, New York for my undergraduate and graduate studies.

My style is warm and engaging, and I consider the role of the therapist to be collaborative. I aim to create a safe, non-judgmental space for self-exploration, discovery, and healing. The goals in the therapeutic process may involve developing new skills to cope with emotional pain, learning to set new boundaries in relationships, or finding more meaning in life. I utilize a wide range of approaches, including cognitive behavioral therapy, motivational interviewing, narrative therapy, relational and psychodynamic approaches, and mindfulness and embodiment work. Regardless of the modality, my work is always trauma informed and strength-based.

I received my Master's degree in Social Work from Fordham University and my BS in psychology from Brooklyn College. I have worked in varied settings including hospitals, community mental health/substance abuse clinics, and home-based crisis intervention services.

I believe that connection is the foundation of positive growth, and I dedicate my work to providing a safe place for clients to engage in self-expression and to explore the particular challenges they face on a daily basis. My approach is client centered, focusing on evidenced based therapies such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), and Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR). I work with clients of all ages and encourage inclusion and diversity within families to promote individual growth.

I began my career as a social worker for hospice in 1999 and have extensive experience helping families cope with death and grief due to illness and/or trauma. Following that foundational work, I expanded my clinical knowledge and expertise in a variety of settings to include substance abuse, challenges related to ADHD, anxiety, depression, LGBTQIA+ issues, and navigating the foster care/adoption system.

My greatest passion is helping people make lasting change in their lives. My approach draws on both professional and personal experiences with addiction, trauma, first responders, relationships, and more. By creating a space and relationship where you feel safe, valued, and respected, I work together with you to overcome the challenges of today and build resiliency for the challenges yet to come. Therapy can be a truly transformative experience when it is built on human connection and dedication to change. I take an active approach, which includes asking tough questions while staying respectful, as well as humor and friendly conversations when appropriate. Therapy begins with building trust and a good relationship. I utilize experiences from various practice models, including Cognitive Processing Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing.

My internships were completed in Portsmouth, OH, and my academic residencies were completed in Atlanta, GA. I have been treating substance use disorders since 2016 and other mental health conditions since 2019.

My patients can expect warmth, kindness, and non-judgmental curiosity. I value understanding each individual deeply, while also empowering them to understand themselves. My approach emphasizes autonomy and collaboration, ensuring treatment reflects each person's own goals and journey. I build trust through reliability, honesty, and authentic care, offering a therapeutic relationship rooted in competence and gentleness. I do not seek to change minds but rather hold up a mirror, offering evidence-based approaches and tools so patients can move toward their own goals. With respect and support, I walk alongside them on their path to healing.

My process begins with a first session dedicated to diagnosis and connection, followed by collaborative treatment planning in the second session. From there, each meeting focuses on healing and growth, with attention to the eight Dimensions of Wellness: physical, emotional, social, intellectual, financial, occupational, environmental, and spiritual.

I bring more than a decade of experience in dual diagnosis counseling within outpatient settings. I have worked closely with medical providers in integrated treatment at a Federally Qualified Health Center, served as Director of Crisis and Community Services, and held the role of Family Readiness Officer for the Marine Corps.

I obtained my Bachelor's Degree from Warren Wilson College in Swannanoa, NC, and my Master's of Science in Social Work from the University of Tennessee in Knoxville, TN, before settling in Johnson City, TN with my family.

I believe people already carry so much of what they need within them, but sometimes life gets loud, painful, confusing, or overwhelming, and it helps to have someone work alongside you to sort through it with care. My role is to offer a space where you can feel safe enough to be honest, understood, and fully yourself.

I work with adults ages 18 and up who are navigating all kinds of challenges, whether that’s anxiety, depression, relationship stress, family pain, life transitions, burnout, grief, trauma, or simply feeling stuck and unsure of what comes next. I know how important it is to feel genuinely seen—not judged, rushed, or reduced to a problem to solve—and I try to bring that into every session.

My approach is client-centered, strength-based, and solution-focused. I draw from approaches like CBT and DBT, but more than anything, I believe therapy works best when it's real, collaborative, and human. Every person has their own story, their own strengths, and their own way forward, and I deeply respect that.

I care a lot about the people I work with and the relationships we build within the therapy space. I see therapy as a collaborative process—one where we make sense of what hurts, notice what’s getting in the way, and help you move toward a life that feels more grounded, meaningful, and true to who you are. And I genuinely look forward to connecting with you!

My areas of professional focus are cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), motivational interviewing (MI), and solution-focused therapy, along with integrating other clinical modalities to fit the needs of clients/patients as they work towards meeting goals/objectives.

I began my counseling career in 2013, and for the past 7 years I have worked in Outpatient Services, working with people of all ages and with all mental illnesses as well.

In June of 2021, I became Clinic Coordinator, and in October 2021 I completed training for Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor Supervisor. I am currently a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor in Texas and Kentucky.

I place great importance on making treatment a unique experience for every individual, strongly believing that there is no single uniform answer to an individual's problems and that solutions should be tailored to that person's specific life circumstances. I have a foundation in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, but utilize practices as appropriate from a variety of treatment styles, including Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Trauma-Informed Care, Behavioral Activation, Play Therapy, and many more.

I am an experienced Licensed Independent Social Worker who has worked in a variety of clinical and non-clinical settings.

My therapeutic approach is integrative, combining Cognitive Behavioral Psychotherapy (CBT) with holistic methods, emphasizing Solution Focused Therapy, Reality Therapy, and Positive Psychology.

One of my main goals is to make counseling and therapy "user friendly." Many people are apprehensive about starting therapy, and from the first session I try to create an atmosphere where they feel safe and supported. My counseling style is rooted in unconditional positive regard, meaning I always approach therapy from a strength-based perspective. I treat my clients with respect, genuine care, compassion, and concern, and I work with them to create goals and find solutions that best suit their needs. I also consider myself a holistic counselor, focusing on the whole person: mind, body, and spirit. As Plato said, 'The part can never be well unless the whole is well.'

I specialize in areas such as anxiety, depression, PTSD, trauma from physical and sexual abuse, family and relationship issues, parenting problems, and LGBTQIA+ support. I also have significant experience working with the military and providing education and career counseling. My professional journey has been eclectic and wide-ranging, allowing me to work with a diverse range of populations and issues.

My mission is to help you find the best way to overcome and thrive in your life.

I use the three C's (catching, checking, and changing) approach with a foundation in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy intertwined with Mindfulness.

By creating a space for open communication, I work alongside clients to identify their needs and develop a personalized approach to therapy.

I create a safe, nonjudgmental environment where patients are heard and validated, without needing to apologize for their pain or emotions. My therapeutic approach is collaborative: you actively work together with me to achieve your mental health goals, with progress reflecting the effort you put in. I begin by understanding your personal history to see how past experiences shape current behaviors and perspectives. Initial sessions focus on setting goals and identifying obstacles, followed by working together to overcome challenges and achieve those goals.

When not working with clients, I enjoy being outdoors, reading, and spending time with my husband, son, and two dogs.

I create a nonjudgmental and realistic environment for patients to explore their needs and growth. All identities are respected and honored in the therapeutic relationship. Patients can expect support, understanding, and collaboration as they work toward meaningful change. I use a patient-centered approach, emphasizing the therapeutic relationship and aligning treatment plans with patient goals.

My experience spans nearly two decades working with many who struggle to find their way through different life challenges. I will collaborate with you to identify and attain goals. Getting to know you is the first step, and that is achieved through a variety of approaches grounded in family systems, cognitive behavioral therapy, and understanding any types of trauma that may have been experienced. Many have had trauma, and what I have learned is that talking about the details of the trauma is not always helpful. It may be a component of healing, but there may be other ways to make progress. I utilize a combination of approaches to be helpful in working with clients. Some may include person-centered, solution focused, motivational interviewing, cognitive behavioral therapy, and EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing). I work with ages 18 and up on mental health issues like depression, anxiety, grief, stress management, trauma, communication, and relationship issues.
