Welcome to Alternative Therapy Knoxville.
“The only Normal people are the ones you don’t know very well.”

My job is to help you live your best life.
To do that, I need to understand your struggles from YOUR perspective.
I am here to listen.
Don’t be embarrassed about that social media post the made you feel personally attacked. Some people are afraid to tell their therapist they feel like they are dealing with anxiety, depression, ADHD, Autism, etc. -- but I want to know these things.
Self-advocacy is not self-diagnosis and there is a reason it spoke to you. I would like the opportunity to help you to better understand your symptoms, and come up with a plan to manage them.
I want to meet you where you are, and work with you to improve your mental health
I am a neurodivergent therapist, and I'm passionate about working with neurodivergent clients.
I want to help you understand the way your brain works, and start to forgive yourself for struggling in a world built for the neurotypical.
If there's anything on which I pride myself as a therapist, it's the feedback I get from clients that describe me as "real," and someone with whom they can feel comfortable and connected.
The research shows that the quality of our connection has the biggest impact on the success of your time in therapy. Give me a call and we can start that work together.
