As a licensed professional counselor in Tennessee, I have seen the mental health world from the inside and it isn’t pretty. I left the system six years ago. I was disillusioned. I was tired of seeing people struggle as the root causes were medicated away or ignored. I went into private practice as a trauma therapist because I believe that human emotional responses to the difficulties of life are not disorders. I use my knowledge and experience to help you look at the past, but not get stuck there. My goal is to empower you to use that knowledge to inform the present and to make positive changes for the future.
