I’m a Certified Child Life Specialist who’s been supporting children and families since 2020, with most of my experience rooted in the fast-paced world of the emergency room. I’ve seen firsthand how overwhelming medical experiences and life transitions can be for kids—and I believe every child deserves the tools and support to face those challenges with courage and confidence.

 

That’s why Bridge to Bravery Coping Consultants, a child life private practice based right here in Knoxville, TN was created. Our team—Chelsea, Hannah, Alexa, and myself—is passionate about helping children process tough experiences, develop healthy coping skills, and feel empowered every step of the way.

 

Using play, preparation, and emotional support, we meet each child where they are—whether they’re navigating illness, grief, anxiety, or big life changes. Our approach is evidence-based, personalized, and always infused with a bit of fun.

 

When I’m not working with families, you can find me curled up with a good book, strolling through Target, or unwinding with some needlepoint. I truly love what I do, and I’m so grateful to walk alongside children and families as they build bravery from the inside out.

 

Let’s bridge the gap between fear and
confidence together!
