Couples Counseling Therapists in Hillsboro West End, Nashville, TN

Beginning a new relationship that you want to keep? Want to make a long term relationship better? Feeling disconnected from your partner/unhappy with the current state of your relationship? Or maybe you want to work on your relationship with yourself. I find great joy in working with clients as they gain insight and skills to explore these important areas of life. I help clients as they learn about and transcend the barriers within themselves that get in the way of living the life they want or having the relationships they desire. We also work on improved communication, increased positivity, and emotional regulation.

Why Strength to Strength Counseling? In my philosophy of the therapy process, people already have many strengths and resources when they come into the counseling office for the first time. Stress and strain, loss and grief, trauma, sudden life-changes, relationship difficulties, coping challenges, and mental health issues can lead individuals and relationships to points of internal distress and external behaviors that can be disruptive, distressing and concerning to themselves and those around them. As a result, individual happiness, relationships, family life, work, and school performance may suffer.

Therapy is a unique and special type of relationship. Being vulnerable with another person requires bravery, and I deeply value the trust that we develop over time through our work. You are taking a courageous step forward in your healing process to make your first appointment! I am versed in a variety of empirically supported treatments such as Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) and Cognitive Processing Therapy for PTSD (CPT), and like to blend multiple approaches in the way that will bring about the best results for you.

Welcome! You came here today for a reason. Maybe that’s an individual struggle, a relational conflict, you find yourself stuck in a transition or season of life, or you’re simply searching for ways to balance it all. I will help you understand the “why” and figure out the “how” as together we'll navigate your unique challenges to achieve a life of peace, purpose, and authenticity. My approach is collaboratively tailored to fit you, integrating evidence-based tools that work. We will go at your pace, but I will challenge you when needed. Most of all, you will feel heard, understood, and respected in our time together.

In my 46 years of practice as a psychologist, in Tennessee, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, and New Hampshire, I have had the honor and privilege of working with so many patients on their paths of exploration, personal growth, and healing. My approach is grounded in psychodynamic, existential, and Buddhist theories, with a focus on integrating mindfulness and compassion with self and others. It is my belief that the quality of the psychotherapy relationship between therapist and patient is the principal healing force in treatment. Thus, I do my best to form a good and ethical therapeutic relationship with each of my patients.

As an AASECT Certified Sexuality Counselor working with individuals and couples, I combine evidence-based best practices with experience as a Tantric Sexuality Educator and practitioner, offering a supportive environment for thorough and constructive exploration of sexual matters. Questions and concerns may be talked about openly without fear of embarrassment or criticism. As a Mind-Body Psychotherapist, I help clients talk through issues and learn to utilize emotions as embodied resources for healing and growth, encouraging awareness of connection between body, mind, and spirit. My background as a pastoral psychotherapist and experience with body therapies such as yoga, breath-work, and meditation inform my work.

I provide individualized support tailored to my clients' unique stories. I use expressive arts therapy and dance/movement therapy techniques in addition to client-centered talk therapy to engage with clients as we process in both the verbal and non-verbal realms. The body and mind are interconnected and the body can be used as a map guiding explorations of the self, as well as a metaphor to express emotions which can be difficult to convey in words alone. Through a therapeutic relationship, I provide empathic support and playful intervention.

Life feels burdensome. You struggle to keep up with its demands and changes, and often feel overwhelmed. Your relationships feel distressing and distant, and you’re not sure how to make this work anymore. You've experienced loss, and the pain is challenging to manage. It’s an endless cycle leaving you feeling stuck and alone. You want the joy to return, the chaos to quiet, and the darkness to lift. I believe there’s a way through pain and heartache. Let’s uncover hope and healing together.

My passion as a counselor is two-fold: to walk alongside couples who feel emotionally distant and distressed in their relationships on the path toward connection and healing, and to journey with women who are struggling with anxiety, trauma, conflict resolution, and other relational issues.

There is something beautiful about becoming the most authentic version of yourself. My passion lies in helping individuals and couples work to uncover what is keeping them stuck and develop a more fulfilling life. Through therapy, we will develop a relationship where you feel heard, understood, and respected while working to recognize and change the unhelpful thoughts, behaviors, and patterns in your life that are no longer serving you. Our sessions will feel like a conversation, where I will offer a fresh perspective and tangible ways to achieve your therapy goals.

I am licensed in both TN and AL. Together we will seek progress, not perfection. My therapy is relaxed and goal centered. I use humor when it allows, as laughter is good for the soul. We all have a longing for attention and responsiveness from our loved ones. When needs go unmet, we get stuck in patterns of automatic responses. I want client's to recognize needs, take responsibility, and learn how to better disrupt unhealthy patterns. My desire is to help you gain awareness and be more present with yourself and other people in your life.

As a therapist, I work with people who are feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or looking to make some sort of change (in life, relationships, unhealthy habits or behaviors, etc.). I work primarily from a relational-cultural approach, which means that my focus is on the therapeutic relationship, authenticity, and perhaps most importantly, collaboration. Content related to the past, present, and future are each considered to be sources of valuable information, as are thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. I value creativity and a sense of humor in my work with clients; your experience is yours alone and as such, your treatment will be individually tailored to your needs.

We will identify your potential for growth and challenge the beliefs and behaviors that keep you and your loved ones from experiencing happiness, harmony, and health.

Life can be difficult at times. Perhaps you are wanting to make some changes in your life, or relationship.
