Introduction

I help individuals and families navigate life’s most challenging chapters. Whether you are managing the daily weight of anxiety, walking through a season of spiritual questioning, or facing a life-altering medical diagnosis, like cancer, I provide a space where your clinical needs and your personal values meet. Areas of Focus* • Life Transitions & Anxiety: Support for anxiety, depression, and the "emotional exhaustion" of daily life. I help you develop practical tools to manage stress and regain a sense of balance. • Psychosocial Oncology: I am specialized in supporting patients and caregivers through the emotional and spiritual toll of cancer diagnosis, helping you find resilience in the face of medical uncertainty. • Faith & Identity: Faith & Identity: A safe space to process spiritual distress or doubt. I provide professional, evidence-based therapy that deeply respects your identity and, for those who desire it, integrates the foundational truths of Christian spirituality. • Bilingual Counseling (Español):Providing culturally immersive therapy for the Chattanooga community. Usted merece un espacio donde su idioma y su cultura sean valorados en el proceso de sanación My Approach I believe in "whole-person" care—spirit, soul, and body. With a Master of Divinity and a Clinical Mental Health background, I serve as a bridge for those who want professional therapy that doesn't ignore their faith. My goal is to help you find resilience and hope even in life's "dark valleys."" How to get started?: I offer free 15-minute bilingual consultations.
