About me
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with experience working with couples, and individuals struggling with episodes of anxiety, depression, loss or anger.
I moved to this region of Tennessee with my family in 2001. I am a retired United Methodist Minister and current Multi-Faith Chaplain with experience serving veterans and their families, serving as a hospice chaplain and most recently earning a Master's in Counseling. I have had experience in counseling working in an agency setting and private practice since 2016. My therapeutic focus is on clients who struggle with mood and personality disorders, as well anyone who may be in relational conflict or have experienced trauma.
