About Me

I became a therapist to help make sense of life and the struggles and challenges we all face. I wanted to make a difference in the lives of others so that they did not feel alone in facing stress, trauma, and hurts. I believe therapy is for everyone and people deserve spaces where they can feel safe, heard, and understood. My goal is to treat the whole person and meet clients where they are in the healing journey. I believe each person is the expert of their own experience and that everyone deserves to live their most beautiful life despite the many challenges and struggles that life brings. I enjoy helping clients regain control over their trauma and other life experiences by enhancing their strengths and inner power, teaching new skills to cope, processing events, and defining goals for the future. I use various therapeutic approaches and interventions in a collaborative way. My areas of training include ARC, EMDR, TFCBT, ego states, and NMT. Everyone deserves a space to feel supported and encouraged. I would love to meet with you to see how we can work together, start your healing journey, and achieve your goals. You deserve the life you desire. Email is generally the best way to reach me. Please call or text 988 or your local emergency department for emergency help or crisis. When I'm not providing therapy, I enjoy spending time with my husband and pets, watching anything true crime or thriller related, and reading. I also love cheering for my Memphis Tigers and Las Vegas Raiders!
