Let's Connect (615) 235-5330
If you are looking to feel safe and trusting toward your partner, to resolve the issues that keep you from connecting, or to improve your communication, let's talk. Maybe there's something in the way, like an old trauma, a relationship challenge, or a topic that keeps setting you both off. It's not too late! There's a lot more to learn about what makes you tick as a couple, and your love WILL thrive. . . with a little work.
As a therapist specializing in marriage counseling and relationship therapy, I work with couples as a kind of diplomat, consultant, coach, cheerleader, and advisor for the marriage. I start by listening - learning your story in depth. As time goes on, we'll track the patterns you've gotten into, collaborating to help you to face, heal, and shift them.
Please reach out for an initial conversation - we can explore if there's a good fit, or I can assist with a referral to another therapist who might be better suited for you.

Our sessions will initially be open and unstructured as we get to know each other. We'll start by unpacking what brought you into therapy and the general story of your life right now. As time goes on, we may use Jungian psychology as a way to welcome and understand input from your unconscious mind, or we might use Emotionally Focused Therapy to cultivate a sense of safety in your relationship.
