Office Location: Thompson’s Station and Virtual
Accepting new clients July 2025.
Session Fee: $150 (sliding scale available)
Whether you are a parent seeking support for your teen or a young adult navigating anxiety, depression, or trauma yourself, a supportive and understanding therapeutic space is essential for healing and growth. My priority is to create a safe, accepting, and empathetic space where you and/or your child can feel truly heard and understood. I also empower parents and families of my younger clients by providing them with practical resources and tools to confidently support their child’s well-being.
I specialize in treating tweens, teens, and young adults with anxiety, depression, and a history of trauma. With ten years of counseling experience, I also have a deep understanding of supporting individuals experiencing suicidality and self-harming behaviors. I use play and creative interventions in engaging and accessible ways to help my clients identify and express complex emotions, process past and present experiences, and develop coping skills. I engage in therapy through several evidence-based practices including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), and Play therapy.
Outside of therapy, I enjoy spending my time reading, drinking coffee, building legos, watching Survivor, and spending time outdoors with my husband, two kids, and Bernedoodle puppy.
