I also specialized in Violence Against Women and Children (VAWC) at the same time. I am currently a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with formal training in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Internal Family Systems. I have a passion for working with late and/or misdiagnosed Autism and ADHD clients as well as within the LGBTQIA+ communities. I like to take a holistic and trauma-informed approach to therapy in which I believe in meeting clients where they are and adjust my approach to their individual needs. I believe my background as an Emergency Medical Technician has helped develop skills to quickly assess situations and provide compassionate care to each individual client. My job as your therapist would be to help foster a safe and supportive environment and to help guide you in developing and utilizing skills to take with you outside of the therapy room.\n","externalUrl":null,"permalink":"/","section":"Helping You Navigate Life's Challenges","summary":"","title":"Helping You Navigate Life's Challenges","type":"page"},{"content":" 📍 Guiding Light Counseling Shadow Creek Office Park\n162 Murray Guard Dr. Suite A\nJackson, TN 38305\nGet Directions ➔ ","externalUrl":null,"permalink":"/location/","section":"Helping You Navigate Life's Challenges","summary":"","title":"Location","type":"page"},{"content":" Are You Accepting New Clients?

Clients who are seeking therapy will be scheduled for an intake appointment based on both client and therapist availability, and will be invited to a portal platform to complete documentation prior to scheduled appointment.\nFrequently Asked Questions Consultation vs Intake? Consultations are free 15 minute scheduled appointments that serve as a meet and greet for new clients. This is an opportunity for potential new clients to meet with the therapist and ask questions and see if you are a good fit for each other. This can be important as the relationship between the client and the therapist is the most important therapeutic tool.\nIntake appointments are the first real appointment prior to engaging in regular therapy sessions. This is where the therapist will document the client\u0026rsquo;s history and complete a biopsychosocial assessment. Therapy goals are also discussed in this appointment.\nDo you offer telehealth?
