I hold a Doctorate of Social Work degree, as well as an LCSW license. I am originally from Nashville; educated and trained in Boston. I have over 25 years of experience in the field of Clinical Social Work and see both Adolescents and Adults for individual psychotherapy. I am a trained narrative therapist and focus on clients' stories while identifying patterns/ interpersonal styles. I like to focus on building self-esteem, exploring shame, and educating clients on the link between cognitions, actions, and outcomes. I utilize a good amount of psychoeducation regarding neuropathways (& how thoughts might be interpreted as facts and the mind/body connection). I am trained in Trauma work, CBT, ACT, MI, and DBT, and utilize a plethora of other clinical modalities. I am an Associate Professor of Practice at the University of Tennessee MSW program for the Nashville and Online Campuses. I also see clinicians for Clinical and Macro supervision. I provide both corporate and clinical trainings in the community. Feel free to reach out to me to see if we are a good fit!
