How I work...

honest, relational, grounded

Because some of our deepest wounds happen in relationships, I believe healing also happens through relationships. Therapy offers a safe place to practice being known and connected in healthier ways.
My approach is compassionate and challenging—a place where we can be honest, curious and real together.

Faith has room here.

If faith is important to you, I’m glad to integrate Christian spirituality into our work as much or as little as you desire. Wherever you are in your journey, there is room for you here.

A wound that goes unacknowledged and unwept Cannot heal.

Christian counseling for young adults in chattanooga

Your twenties and thirties can bring enormous questions about identity, relationships, faith, career, marriage, money and purpose. I particularly enjoy helping young adults navigate life direction, emotional wounds, dating and marriage, burnout, vocational discernment, healthy habits and the pursuit of a flourishing spiritual and emotional life.
​
You do not have to figure out this season alone. Together, we can examine your story, listen to what is happening beneath the surface and help you move toward greater clarity, strength and wholeheartedness.

a little more about me...

As a therapist, I don’t approach this work as someone sitting above the struggles and challenges of my clients. Pursuing my own healing from trauma and family dysfunction is an important part of how I show up to this work. I believe I can’t take someone much farther than I’ve been willing to go myself. Doing my own work has deepened my empathy for the people sitting across from me and reminds me that we are all on a journey to heal, grow, and become more fully alive.

I also offer Trail/Walk & Talk Therapy. I believe beauty, movement, and time in nature can be good for the heart and soul, and research supports the benefits of spending time in nature for stress and mental health. Trail sessions take place on Lookout Mountain—ask me if you’d like to learn more.

Outside of my work, I enjoy fly fishing, reading, and spending time outside with friends and family.
