About
As an individual who has experienced anxiety and depression, I understand the value of having support to help you navigate through these issues. I would love to be that support for you and walk alongside you as you become the best version of yourself!
I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor with a Mental Health Service Provider qualification (LPC-MHSP) with 7 years of experience. I'm passionate about helping children, adolescents, adults, and families with young children address challenges to live a better and more meaningful life. I specialize in depression, anxiety, grief, trauma, addiction, behavioral issues in children, and major life changes. I completed my Master's in Clinical Mental Health Counseling at Milligan University. My personal mental health experiences coupled with my education and professional experience enable me to give clients the support they seek.
I utilize multiple treatment approaches based on the client's individual needs, including mindfulness/grounding techniques, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), motivational interviewing, parent-child interaction therapy (PCIT), and eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR).
Reaching out for help can be very intimidating, so I commend you for your courage in taking this step! I provide a compassionate, empathetic, supportive, and non-judgmental environment to walk alongside clients as they work toward meeting their goals. If you're ready to begin this journey, schedule with me today.

If you could change your life overnight, what would be different when you woke up?
Exploring the answers to these questions can help you determine and communicate the goals for your life that you have buried deep down inside. Many things get in the way of accomplishing our goals. Financial burdens, illness, stressful relationships, simply daily life; all of these can disrupt us from really being intentional about our future. An experienced life coach can help you wade through the distractions and develop a clear vision for your life.
It can be difficult to come up with the answers to these questions. If you are unable to answer them, you are not alone. This is very common and an experienced life coach can help you work through the blocks that prevent the answering of these questions.
Counseling usually attempts to bring a client from pain to healing. Alternatively, life coaching usually works to bring a client from neutral to positive change. In counseling, a scale can be used to measure satisfaction in different areas of life. We can measure this from possibly a negative ten to a positive ten. A -10 would be very painful, and 0 would be neutral. Life coaching works to take a person from neutral to possibly a positive 5 or even a 10.
Thriveworks Knoxville life coaches pride themselves on not operating with a waiting list. In most cases, we have appointments available within the week for new clients. Plus, we offer evening and weekend sessions and accept most major insurances.
