I grew up in Knoxville, receiving a BA in Psychology at UT Knoxville before completing an MA at West Virginia University in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. A one-time music major and avid animal lover, I implement creative interventions and individualized treatment plans tailored to each individual client. I also enjoy gardening, spending time with my therapy dog Buster and cat Cricket, playing the violin, piano, or video games, and reading.

    My biggest strengths as a counselor are my empathy and open-mindedness, as well as an ability to facilitate a comfortable therapeutic environment and relationship. I particularly enjoy working with clients with complex symptoms who have had difficulty finding the right fit for a counselor in the past, or clients who might benefit from a more tailored and specialized approach to trauma therapy. I bring my gentle, sweet, and well-trained therapy dog Buster to most sessions, who helps clients by improving emotional regulation, healing attachment injuries, and improving their day.
