You are already enough–regardless of your story, job title, and other markers of success.
things i believe to be true
You deserve to build a life that supports all your needs, including making more money. Because only good things happen when women make more money.
Healing from trauma is not just about learning to cope. It expands your capacity for more love, joy, and connection.
Your best is what you can do without harming your mental and physical health–not what you can accomplish when you disregard it.
Your needs do matter (and I’m here to remind you of this!).
It is more than okay for you to take up space.
Exhibit A: when I was in elementary school, I discovered that we had a boys’ basketball team but no girls’ basketball team. Did I have any interest in basketball (and did I know what the word “feminist” meant)? No. But did I start a petition so that the girls could have a team? Absolutely. It just didn’t feel right that the boys got something we didn’t.
This is my long way of saying I have always wanted to help women, support women, and work with women.
My STory
I’ve been a feminist for as long as I can remember.
Like so many of us women, I learned from an early age that love, safety, and approval had to be earned. I also grew up in extreme poverty and neglect, which wreaked havoc on my nervous system and wired my brain to believe I could never be “enough.” Nevertheless, I did everything I could to be the best student and daughter–and later, the best employee and business owner. I spent years proving myself through various achievements, only to end up anxious, exhausted, and disconnected from myself and my values.
It was only through my own healing journey (which involved lots of therapy!) that I was able to process my past, unlearn the patterns that kept me stuck in perfectionism and overworking, and stop equating performance with enoughness.
My other primary passion in life is helping high achievers heal from their trauma and untie their work from their worth, in large part because that is my own story.
Through high-touch, trauma-informed therapy and coaching, we’ll work to overcome your worthiness wounds, replace survival mode with safety, and build a life that feels full and authentic. Because the life you deserve isn’t about doing more: it’s about honoring your unique personhood.
If you cope by chasing achievements, exist in a constant state of stress and anxiety, and say yes to everything even when it costs you your health, I see you and want you to know you are not alone. Real transformation is possible, and I’m here to help you heal.
Today, as a Licensed Professional Counselor and Transformation Coach with 15 years of experience, I have the honor of helping other high-achieving women heal the wounds that keep them stuck in this cycle.

FAQs
I don’t live in Tennessee. Can we still work together?
Yes! While I can provide therapy to Tennessee residents only, I can and do work with coaching clients across the country. We cover a lot of similar territory, from healing trauma and inner child work to setting better boundaries and building a life and business that actually supports you.
Would we work together remotely or in person?
For the most part, my services are completely virtual, allowing you to work through any emotions from the safety and convenience of your own home. There are a few exceptions, however: I do offer the option for an in-person therapy intensive to Tennessee residents. And while most of the healing work in The Freedom Formula is done virtually, there are a few aspects of the program, like my coaching intensives, that happen in person.
What trauma therapy approaches do you use?
I am trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Internal Family Systems (IFS), Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), Attachment, Regulation, and Competency (ARC), and Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT). I also utilize client-centered therapy, narrative therapy, attachment theory, psychodynamic theory, and solution-focused techniques to create highly unique and personalized care for you.
