I am passionate about working with children and adolescents and have the privilege of working with the adolescent population in the IOP setting at the Middle Path. I strive to empower clients to find their purpose and live a life worth living. What I love most about Dialectical Behavioral Therapy is that it offers a holistic approach for creating wellness and balance to the lives of our clients, as well as, assist clients in embracing the inner strengths they possess.

I became a licensed professional counselor, mental health service provider in the state of Tennessee in January 2020.
