I am honored to work with individuals, and couples in an emotionally safe, caring, and confidential environment where trust and authentic communication are experienced. I am privileged to walk with clients on their journey if they are seeking to explore solutions to a specific concern of life, or of if they have a desire to move past the "state of survival" or complacency to "living fully" and experience life as we are designed to live. I am available weekdays, evenings, and occasionally weekends. For more information please go to my website.
I provide therapy for individuals, couples, and adolescents in the formats of private counseling sessions, small groups, therapy intensives and Equine Assisted Therapy at Underwood Farm in Nolensville. I keep reserved appointments on my calendar for new patients and am typically able to see them within 2-3 days.
As a certified sexual addiction therapist I walk alongside those who struggle with issues of compulsive addiction behaviors. Together we move to the discovery of how the addictive behaviors began and grew and how to use the healing plan to become sober and faithful. We also address how addiction affects loved ones who also need support through the process.
