Meet the Therapist
Hi, I’m Olivia, a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC-MHSP) in Tennessee.
I'm so glad you're here. :)
I know reaching out for therapy can feel overwhelming, and my goal is to create a space where you can show up exactly as you are. Whether you're struggling with anxiety, grief, boundaries, people pleasing, relationship concerns, or simply feeling stuck, therapy can be a place to slow down, feel heard, and reconnect with yourself.
One of my favorite parts of being a therapist is helping people reconnect with themselves after years of putting everyone else first. Many of my clients arrive feeling responsible for everyone around them while quietly struggling themselves. Watching them build confidence, set healthier boundaries, and discover that their needs matter is one of the most rewarding parts of the work I do.
My approach is warm, collaborative, and practical. I believe healing happens through self-awareness, self-compassion, and the courage to examine the patterns that no longer serve us. Together, we'll explore your experiences, challenge unhelpful beliefs, and build tools that help you move toward the life you want to create.
Clients often tell me they appreciate that I am genuine, approachable, and willing to bring humor into sessions while gently challenging them when needed. I believe therapy should be a place where you feel supported, understood, and empowered to grow.
A little about me outside of therapy—I am a wife, animal lover, and someone who deeply values connection, humor, and time with the people I care about. I enjoy traveling, spending time with family, being outdoors, and an occasional day of bed rotting with Netflix.
It is truly an honor to walk alongside my clients as they navigate challenges, discover their strengths, and learn to listen to themselves with greater compassion and confidence. :)
