Part Time Counselor
Oak Ridge and Anderson Counties
I am a Clinical Mental Health Counseling graduate student from the University of Tennessee, and I am excited to be interning with RSCC this year! I grew up in the Maryville area and attended UTK for my undergraduate degree in business administration. During my time as an undergraduate student, I developed a passion for helping others while serving as a peer mentor for incoming students, and I decided to pursue a career that would allow me to serve others every day.
In my free time, I enjoy traveling, cooking, spending time outdoors, and reading mystery novels. My fiancé and I are always busy with house projects and keeping our German Shepherd, Kaiser, entertained.
I offer an empathetic, person-centered approach in my counseling work, and I view the counseling relationship as a collaborative partnership where we work together to address issues and work toward holistic wellness. I look forward to meeting you!
