A Little More About Me...

For most of my life, I’ve always felt the Lord calling me to walk with others during times of trial and difficulty. I know from personal experience the importance of having someone there for you when it’s especially tough. In counseling it’s a privilege to walk alongside others in hopes to foster growth of the mind, body, and spirit. I see people as my neighbors with inherent worth that deserve to live a life of meaning. I aim to facilitate an environment in counseling that cultivates safety and trust allowing for self-reflection and identity cultivation. Relationships are a cornerstone in my philosophy of healing because I believe God has designed us for relationship, and I’d be honored to walk with you towards a place of greater compassion for yourself and others to ultimately see life transformation.

As a Chattanooga native, I’m grateful for the opportunity to join the team here at the Christian Counselor Cooperative. I graduated with my master’s degree from Lee University in marriage and family therapy with training in attachment-based, cognitive-based, and family/couples therapy as well as specific training in trauma focused cognitive behavioral therapy (TFCBT) and Emotionally Focused Therapy. I attended the University of Mississippi for my undergraduate degree and received a bachelor’s degree in psychology.
