For over Fifteen years I have worked to treat and educate the community on addictions and mental health disorders.  I have experience working with adolescents and adults in every level of care from inpatient detoxification to outpatient therapy services. I have had the opportunity to treat those struggling with not only substance abuse issues but also compulsive overeating, sexual addictions, gambling, compulsive shopping, and video gaming. I also enjoy creating and presenting educational lectures and providing clinical consulting for substance abuse treatment centers. 

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in Tennessee. I hold a Bachelor's Degree in Counseling from Johnson University here in Knoxville TN, and a Masters in Human Develop Counseling from Bradley University in Peoria, IL.

My goal is to provide an environment that is comfortable yet challenging and allows for us to work together to bring about personal growth and better understanding of your needs as they are unique to each individual. I am very involved in the therapy process during our sessions. I believe fully in us working together to achieve your goals. My clients appreciate my straight forward and down to earth approach to therapy. I truly enjoy helping people gain hope for their future and make positive changes in their lives. 

When not at work, I can be found hanging out with my husband and two boys. I am also a big fan of hiking, books, great coffee, and football. 

I look forward to meeting you and offer a free 15-minute phone consultation to address any up front questions or concerns you may have and see if we are a good fit to work together.
