Hoarding isn't about "stuff" — it's about emotion, trauma, and control. I offer nonjudgmental, step-by-step support to help clients understand their attachment to possessions and reclaim their space and life.

Hoarding Disorder can significantly impact daily life, relationships, and overall well-being, often creating overwhelming stress and anxiety. At Stress & Anxiety Services, we provide specialized treatment to help individuals address hoarding behaviors and work toward creating a more organized, fulfilling life. Our approach includes: - Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): Helps individuals identify and change the thoughts and behaviors that contribute to hoarding, and develop healthier decision-making skills. - Hoarding-Specific CBT: Focuses on reducing the accumulation of items, improving organization, and increasing emotional regulation when parting with possessions. - Exposure Therapy: Gradual exposure to decluttering situations to reduce distress and resistance to letting go of items. - Motivational Interviewing: Enhances readiness for change by exploring and addressing ambivalence about letting go of possessions. Through secure telehealth services, we can work with you to develop effective strategies, reduce clutter, and create a more manageable living space—wherever you are. With the right support, recovery from hoarding is possible.

Knoxville is home to the University of Tennessee — the state's flagship research university — and serves as the gateway to the Great Smoky Mountains and Appalachian outdoor recreation culture, giving it a distinctive blend of college-town energy and Appalachian heritage that shapes its therapy community. The city's growing healthcare sector, anchored by UT Medical Center and Covenant Health, provides institutional mental health resources and supplies clinical training to the local community. Knoxville's working-class Appalachian communities carry distinct cultural attitudes toward help-seeking — including strong value on self-reliance and community support — that therapists must navigate with cultural sensitivity. The University of Tennessee's psychology programs, combined with the city's proximity to Appalachian communities experiencing opioid-related crisis, mean addiction recovery and co-occurring trauma are among the most active areas in Knoxville's local therapy landscape.
