Therapist

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and Certified Clinical Trauma Professional (CCTP) with more than 30 years of experience. In recent years I have focused especially on supporting women through individual counseling, helping them navigate anxiety, depression, life transitions, and the unique challenges many women face. As a faith-based counselor, I integrate Christian principles into the therapeutic process when it is meaningful to the client.

My background includes an undergraduate degree in Elementary Education and five years of classroom teaching before earning my Master’s in Social Work. I later worked for many years as a Licensed School Social Worker in the Metropolitan Nashville Public Schools, providing therapy to students from Pre-K through high school and support to their families.

Today I continue to offer family counseling and therapeutic support for children and teens, including the use of play therapy with children, and I draw on my school social work experience to consult with parents about school-related concerns. I am especially committed to providing women with a safe, compassionate space where they can find healing, clarity, and renewed strength.
