"Stress can overwhelm our ability to cope and disconnect us from ourselves, loved ones, and our community. My approach is to listen for ways to reconnect you with your personal wisdom to help you live a more valued life. We will work together to heal emotional wounds that trigger excessive doubt, criticism, and fear that has been interfering with growth and connection. I would be honored to have the opportunity to create the space for us to collaboratively begin the healing process and empower you to live life to its fullest extent. "

"I AM NOT TAKING NEW CLIENTS AT THIS TIME. People who come to me are seeking a new way of managing their life and need encouragement. You determine the pace. Together we will see the beauty in your growth. My counseling philosophy is summed up in my belief that; you are free to make choices but must temper this freedom with personal responsibility. You are shaped both by your past as well as who you desire to become in the future. Your social and cultural environment also shapes you tremendously. You will make mistakes but can learn to correct these, and regardless, can learn to love yourself."

"You need a partner in support, someone to challenge and encourage you in confronting a difficult issue or time in your life. I believe you know what you need, that you are here seeking help for a reason, and I am here to support, guide, and challenge you in your journey. Finding the right fit for you is crucial, so I am available to email, chat, or even meet in person to help you decide if I am the person to help you. I utilize talk as well as drama and expressive arts therapies to meet your unique needs and comfort level."

"This private practice is unlike most others. I am a pre-licensed clinical fellow at The Briggs Institute, Inc. The therapists at the Institute are graduates of Lipscomb University's Master of Marriage and Family Therapy Program. As the only COAMFTE accredited program in Nashville, the Lipscomb MFT program has earned its fine reputation by meeting the highest academic and clinical experience standards in the country. Because we practice under the supervision of the Lipscomb MFT program core faculty, we remain connected to academia. This means our work is informed by state-of-the-art scientific research that most private practice therapists can't easily access."
