About
As one who has experienced grief, loss, and trauma, I have an authentic understanding of how we are impacted by painful life circumstances and how building new skills can empower us once again.
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with 7 years of experience providing virtual individual therapy for adults across Tennessee. I specialize in helping clients navigate life transitions, trauma, loss, and relationship challenges that disrupt emotional balance. My approach empowers clients to recognize their capacity for growth, resilience, and change while developing the tools and self-awareness needed to create meaningful, lasting progress in their lives.
I earned my Master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from the University of Tennessee. My approach integrates cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, and motivational interviewing to provide care that meets each client where they are on their healing journey.
I believe therapy is a shared journey toward healing and self-discovery. My role is to walk alongside you with compassion and curiosity, helping you process difficult emotions, strengthen coping skills, and reclaim a sense of peace and purpose. Together, we can build a life that feels authentic, balanced, and aligned with your values.

Panic attack disorder therapy is a specialized therapeutic approach designed to help individuals suffering from recurrent and debilitating panic attacks. During therapy sessions, individuals work closely with trained Thriveworks Knoxville therapists to identify and understand the triggers and thought patterns that contribute to their panic attacks. Through panic attack disorder therapy, individuals learn to manage their anxiety, develop coping strategies, and regain control over their lives, ultimately leading to a reduction in the severity of panic attacks.
Panic attack disorder therapy often utilizes cognitive-behavioral techniques like exposure therapy and relaxation exercises to help individuals manage and mitigate panic attacks. These methods involve desensitizing triggers, reducing physical and emotional symptoms, and challenging irrational thought patterns to empower individuals to recognize, control, and reduce the frequency and intensity of panic attacks.
Panic attack disorder therapy at Thriveworks is conducted both in person and through Online therapy. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.
Panic attack disorder therapy may last for a variable amount of time, depending on the individual’s unique needs.
Panic attacks can be described as sudden attacks of intense fear that last for several minutes, during which one can feel various symptoms. Panic attacks can be very painful and significantly affect personal well-being, both short-term and long-term.
If you are experiencing panic attacks, reach out to Thriveworks Knoxville, TN for help. We have panic attack disorder therapists who are here and ready to support you.
According to the DMS 5 (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual), repeated panic attacks are considered a symptom of panic disorder. However, panic attacks and panic disorder can be treated. Counseling for panic attacks and panic disorder therapy is proven to be effective in most cases.
According to the DSM 5, symptoms of panic attacks are:
Panic attacks do not last long, in general (about 10 minutes or less), although some of the symptoms may persist for a longer time. For many people, the first panic attack may occur during a stressful time in life.
Some of the challenges persons with panic disorder may face are:
If you have some of the symptoms listed above, you should consider searching for professional help (panic disorder therapy or counseling for panic attacks).
A Knoxville therapist or counselor can help you define and understand panic attacks/panic disorder and their development as well as demystify common irrational beliefs regarding their symptoms (for example “Palpitations cause heart attacks”). Panic disorder therapy and counseling for panic attacks can help you restructure your maladaptive thoughts, which lead to panic attacks and learn techniques to control and prevent panic attacks (e.g. respiratory control, breathing retraining exercises and progressive muscle relaxation).
We encourage you to contact us to get more information or to schedule a session with our qualified therapists/counselors. We offer evening and weekend sessions, and accept most major insurances. We’re here for you.
