About Me
I am a Tennessee native and a Clarksville transplant. I spent most of my life between Memphis and Nashville but have made Clarksville my home.
I feel incredibly privileged to get to do the work that I do, and I think I bring that sense of joy and gratitude into the room with me. I’m a very creative person and I
very much enjoy art, writing, cooking, and gardening.

I use CBT, DBT, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy,

I have spent the early phases of my career specializing in the treatment of
Substance Use Disorders and supporting individuals in early recovery from substance abuse. The recovery community has taught me that “progress, not perfection” is not just a slogan—it’s a lifestyle. In therapy, I help my clients focus
on their progress and embrace setbacks and mistakes as learning opportunities.
I strongly believe that humans are naturally motivated toward growth, connection,
and authenticity, and I see it as my job to help remove obstacles so that my clients can flourish.
Research has shown that the client-therapist relationship is one of the most important factors for healing. With that in mind, I bring acceptance, compassion,
positive regard, and a sense of humor into my work so that you can feel comfortable being fully yourself—without judgment—and begin to move toward the life you want.
