Welcome, and thank you for considering my services! I am a licensed Clinical Social Worker and Wellness Coach, dedicated team member, and advocate for your well-being. My approach integrates powerful Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) strategies, empowering clients to explore and embrace their true identity. While my primary therapeutic approach is rooted in CBT, I also employ eclectic methods that combine evidence-based techniques to enhance thought patterns, mood regulation, and behavior management. I believe in a holistic understanding of wellness, focusing on improving and investing in your mental, physical, and spiritual health (Whole Self Wellness). Clients are encouraged to stay engaged between sessions through messaging, audio, live chats, and video, allowing them to share updates on struggles, progress, homework, and assignments. For those interested, I specialize in offering a Faith-Based (Christian) approach to therapy. I earned my Master’s of Science in Social Work from the University of Tennessee Knoxville College of Social Work in 2004 and have been actively practicing therapy since then, serving diverse populations in various settings. My therapeutic style is characterized by empathy, compassion, coaching, accountability, and passion, with a commitment to meeting clients where they are at in their journey. I am currently practicing and licensed in Florida and Tennessee. Thank you again for considering me as your therapist.

I am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker in Colorado, Hawaii, Washington and Florida. My experience began while serving in the USAF, in California, providing care to service members and their families struggling with Post Traumatic Stress, Anxiety, Substance Abuse and difficulty adjusting to military life. As my experience has expanded since leaving service, I have had the opportunity to work with individuals living with Bipolar Disorder, Schizophrenia, Personality Disorders and Severe Depression. My counseling style has always been flexible and tailored to the person I am working with while ensuring we are following a model of therapy that is researched and shown to be successful. I have extensive training and experience in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Trauma Informed Care and in working with the LGBTQ population. I prefer an approach that highlights your strengths and follows your lead. I have no experience working with children, however I do have an interest area of working with struggling parents. With 2 children of my own and education in early childhood development I would love to begin working to help others navigate the world of parenting. Whether you are wanting to navigate an unexpected life event, get a handle on life long anxiety or process through events from your past that still effect you today, I believe I can help you and fully believe everyone can recover.

I am a therapist that will meet you where you are at, walking at your pace and encouraging in each step of your path. I strongly believe that Jesus makes miracles every day, touches lives for a better life, and always works in the favor of His children. I believe that my calling is to help each individual with genuine care, respect and dignity. I believe that in order to avoid substance abuse and mental/emotional health relapse one must address the triggers, patterns, and trauma that caused the maladaptive coping skill. I enjoy so much witnessing how children, adolescents, and families achieve their dreams of finding safety, harmony, stability and fulfillment in their lives.
