and I have been sensitive to the suffering and pain of those around me for as long as I can remember. Like many of you, I have had my share of challenges and in each situation there were counselors or mentors there to offer support through a listening ear, encouragement, and redirection. I am thankful for their time and investment in my life and wanted to offer others the same safe place I was offered when I most needed help.

I hold Bachelor of Music and Masters of Education degrees from Carson-Newman University. For 19 years I have been helping individuals and couples achieve their goals. My husband and I have been married for twenty-two years and have four children aging from school age to adult. When we are not working we enjoy serving our church family and spending time together outside.

I admire the courage within my clients because it takes bravery to reach out and engage in a therapeutic process.

Together my clients and I will identify their goals for therapy, establish a plan of action to bring about their desired change, and evaluate their progress. Learn more about my therapeutic approaches.
