About
I take a holistic approach to care, recognizing the deep connection between mental, physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being.
I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner dedicated to helping adolescents and adults navigate anxiety, depression, trauma, mood disorders, ADHD, and more. I believe that healing begins with being heard, understood, and respected without judgement. My approach combines evidence-based medication management, with a holistic, person-centered perspective that honors the connection between mind, body, and spirit. Together, we'll create a treatment plan that helps you build resilience, restore balance, and achieve meaningful, lasting wellness.
My approach is warm, collaborative, and holistic. I use evidence-based medication management while encouraging healthy lifestyle habits and emotional wellness. I create a safe, judgment-free space where clients feel heard, supported, and empowered to make meaningful progress toward healing and balance.
Reaching out for help is a courageous first step, and you don't have to face life's challenges alone. I am committed to providing a supportive, judgement-free environment where you can feel heard, valued, and empowered. When you're ready, I look forward to partnering with you on you journey toward healing, hope, and lasting well-being.

At Thriveworks, Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) primarily concentrates on assisting individuals in emotion regulation, enhancing interpersonal relationships, and acquiring effective coping strategies for managing stress and emotional difficulties.
Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) targets your personal challenges. You may work with your DBT therapist to maintain diary cards to monitor progress, emphasizing validation and support in the therapeutic relationship. DBT follows a stage-based approach, prioritizing crisis reduction initially and life satisfaction.
DBT was initially developed to address the needs of individuals with borderline personality disorder (BPD). However, its versatile approach has enabled its application to a wide range of mental health conditions, including but not limited to, anxiety, depression, stress, and anger issues.
The 4 pillars of DBT are mindfulness, emotion regulation, interpersonal effectiveness, and distress tolerance.
Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) and eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) have distinct purposes and aren’t inherently superior or inferior to one another. DBT is most effective for managing emotional regulation, personality disorders, and interpersonal challenges, while EMDR is specifically tailored for individuals with trauma-related conditions like post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) with therapists at Thriveworks in Chattanooga, TN is conducted both in person and online by video. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.
The duration of a standard DBT program is typically around 24 weeks, which is roughly six months. The actual number of sessions will vary depending on the issues you wish to address.
Includes individual, couples, child/ teen, & family therapy
Includes reducing symptoms with medication & management
