Since 2011, I've been a licensed counselor and mental health service provider, as well as a licensed Certified Psychological Assistant to complete psychological evaluations. I also carry certification as an Advanced Certified Autism Specialist.
I work with many local families around middle Tennessee, as well as providing telehealth sessions to international clients. The majority of my focus is working with individuals who have autism/aspergers, ADHD, anxiety, depression, and other related issues. For community service, I am available for speaking to teachers, churches, and other organizations to educate about effective methods to use with children who have social and behavioral challenges. Previous speaking engagements have been in local schools and organizations, and I have also appeared on the TV program "Joy In Our Town."

I specialize in helping people with autism and ADHD, with a focus on depression and anxiety. I work with children, adolescents, and adults with the goal of helping people find positive improvements in life. I found that mindfulness therapy has been a huge help for clients to learn a new way of thinking and reaching different personal goals. A new mindset can make an incredible positive difference for one’s mental health.
My specificity in wanting to work with people on the autism spectrum comes from a couple of different reasons. My youngest brother has autism and has struggled with his mental health. It was difficult to find providers for him. Helping people that have fewer resources has been important to me and working with people on the autism spectrum and ADHD has been another way to provide in this area. Mental health therapy is a resource that needs to be available to everyone, and my hope is to provide more opportunities for that.
I grew up in northern New York where I graduated from Potsdam State University of New York with a Bachelor of Arts. After moving to TN several years ago, I got my Master of Arts in counseling from Liberty University. In my free time, I enjoy long walks in the woods as well as watching some good comedy and playing board games. The weekends are a great time for me to spend time with friends and family.
