A Little More About Me...
I believe we are all designed for two main purposes: to be known and to be loved. In counseling this belief is my guiding light that’s influenced by my faith in Christ as well as human biology that drives us towards safe relationship. We all desire to feel secure in the presence of others with meaning and purpose. In counseling its is my goal to walk alongside you towards that destination, no matter how long it takes and turns we must make to arrive there. On this journey I hope you will come to re-experience life in a way that increases your trust in others as well as expands your desire to live life to the full.

    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.
