I work with individuals, couples and families. I have been an LMFT and an Addiction Specialist for over 35 years. I specialize in trauma using EMDR-2, all addictions, relationship issues, marriage and family therapy. I deeply care about helping clients work through and process trauma which improves their life. I have been an EMDR therapist for 25 years. I work from a family systems approach to help clients discover their own identity and be true to themselves. I am committed to helping clients discover how to have the best lives and relationships possible.

I have 15 years of experience working with children and adults and the best feeling in my professional life is when my clients no longer need me. I consider it a privilege that I can help people through difficult times, whether it's workplace stress, life-phase challenges, relationship issues, concerns with family dynamics, or anxiety / depression taking their toll on everyday functioning. If you feel that any of the above are preventing you from feeling content, or from achieving your full potential in life, I can help you.

I have over 20 years of experience working in the mental health field in a variety of settings including community mental health, residential facilities, case management, and Private Practice since 2011. I work with a variety of client backgrounds, ages 10 and up. I do individuals, couples and family counseling. Please call with any questions.

So often we get caught up in survival mode and coping with the day to day. Everyone deserves to thrive. My ideal client may be wrestling with any number of life challenges such as anxiety, depression, family/ relationship conflicts, and chronic stress leading to emotional and physical exhaustion.

Are you feeling stuck? Is there something nagging at you? Maybe you are stressed or feeling down. Perhaps you want more out of your relationships or more satisfaction from your work life. Therapy can help. Bright Horse Counseling provides therapeutic counseling services to relieve suffering, restore connections, and empower individuals, families, and communities to thrive. Our vision is to normalize therapy and eliminate the stigma that prevents us from engaging in regular mental health care. We work for a future where we all feel better and live well, together.

Are you neurodivergent, Autistic, or suspect it? Do you have an autistic family member? Neurodivergence can manifest quite differently in people which can create unique challenges. However, I do find a common complaint. They often feel overwhelmed and anxious. They may believe they are not good enough and are frustrated with their adult life path. Many have experienced some form of trauma, which only adds to the struggle. Family members are often unsure how to support their loved one in adulthood. They want to feel happy, content, connected, and proud.

I work with neurodivergent teens and adults (Autism and ADHD) as well was a wide range of clients who have experienced trauma, issues in their family dynamic, communication, peer groups, self-esteem, and relationships. I am most passionate about working with individuals as they explore the deep parts of themselves and uncover new insights. Many of my clients work to improve relationships, gain tools and strategies for day to day struggles, and explore, process, and find healing from past traumas and old wounds.

You’re probably here because you’ve reached your breaking point. Maybe you’re ready to give up. You’ve realized that this is bigger than you can handle, and you need help. My goal is to help you on your journey of self-discovery, to uncover your strengths, values, and goals, enabling personal growth and development. I foster a supportive and non-judgmental environment, encouraging open communication and reflection. You will gain insight and change patterns that no longer serve you.

Making the step to begin the counseling process can be scary and overwhelming; but it can be the first step toward healing and change. I absolutely love working with individuals and couples. Walking along side clients as they journey their way through hurt, anger, grief, frustration, and other emotions, is my pleasure. Some of my previous clients came to me when things seemed to be very grim and hopeless. It has been my pleasure to watch them put in the hard work and commitment to the therapeutic process and come out as stronger individuals and couples.

Anxiety exhausts, paralyzes, and overwhelms us. Depression leaves us feeling hopeless, worthless, and alone. ADHD can stifle our productivity while crushing our self-esteem. Addiction keeps us in bondage to that which will never truly satisfy. And marital and family relationships that were supposed to serve as secure bases can quickly become sources of tremendous pain and distress. You've tried to overcome these issues on your own but to no avail; you feel stuck and as though you've run out of options. But there is hope!

SATURDAY hours available & Video sessions! I have been practicing psychotherapy in diverse settings for 14 years. I completed my residency at Vanderbilt University and served as an expert consultant for NBC's Today Show. As a psychologist, I have the opportunity to help people understand and navigate very difficult situations. I help my patients develop insight into problems that prevent them from feeling whole and complete. By reading between the lines and exploring the complexity of physical and mental health we are able to finally resolve long-standing concerns. I look forward to helping you find the answers you're looking for!

I believe that when problems surface, people do the best they can to cope. Therapy provides a way to increase our coping skills and can give us a sense of relief. With my empathetic style and collaborative problem-solving approach, I can help you create the kind of life you have always imagined for yourself. I seek to empower people with the tools and skills that they need to understand, confront, cope with and manage their life stressors. You'll gain important skills to cope with stress, manage troublesome feelings and improve relationships.

Have you ever wondered if you will always feel this way? Maybe you feel alone or like no one understands who you are. Perhaps you struggle with relationships, jobs, family dynamics and anxiety about all of these struggles. You do not have to do this alone and unsupported. If you want someone to accompany you on your path to recognizing your strengths and using them, I would be honored to walk with you.

My goal is to create a safe environment for people to heal - emotionally, behaviorally and spiritually - so that they can integrate real change in their lives. I enjoy counseling families, couples and individuals of all ages - children, adolescents and adults. My main focus areas are family and marital conflict, rebuilding emotional and spiritual intimacy in relationships, divorce recovery, all kinds of addiction recovery, codependency in relationships,depression, anxiety, grief and loss, premarital counseling, emotional healing from family of origin, communication skills and parenting skills.

I work with individuals and couples using CBT, interpersonal psychodynamic therapy, and EMDR among other techniques. Interests include trauma, anxiety, relationships issues, family of origin issues, and how coping strategies to manage past situations may be tripping us up currently. I am skillful at helping clients find new solutions when they hit impasses. I strive to provide a collaborative, healing relationship where clients can unlearn, relearn, or learn anew as appropriate to be able to experience their full range of emotions and live without too much of their energy being tied up in the past. Humor is often useful in our journey.

Feeling stuck, wanting to make improvements in your life? Addictions, affairs, unhappy relationships, loss, grief, shame, sudden or permanent life changes -- I can help you gain understanding and relief, in a safe, supportive, confidential, and non-judgmental setting. It takes courage to try new ways of thinking and behaving in the quest to identify and fulfill unmet needs. I can accompany you through the process of self-discovery, self-acceptance, forgiveness, healing, personal growth and freedom.

"I need something to change" is a great place to start. Counseling can be a place to facilitate this change. You may find that you are speaking one language while your spouse is speaking another. You can learn how to have a common language and corrective experiences that draw you closer together instead of further apart. Many of your wounds occurred in relationships, thus it is in relationships where they can be restored. I have served individuals and couples in a helping profession for nearly 30 years. You can find practical solutions as well as deep soul and relational change. Though not easy, real change is possible.

Collaboration, clarity, consistency and compassion are the framework for the relationship that is formed with my clients. I will walk alongside you and provide a space for you to gain clarity, in order to establish goals that will help you move forward leading to positive change. Together we will create a plan that will provide the opportunity for a deeper understanding of self, a clear purpose, and discover the tools that will assist in navigating the challenges that you may be experiencing. The goal is to be a consistent, safe, touchpoint, offering support and guidance in order to help you find your power.

Hello! I am a Nashville therapist for adults, adolescents, and couples. I hold a master's degree in marriage and family therapy from Fuller Theological Seminary. I aim to create a safe, nonjudgemental environment where individuals can share all parts of themselves and be met with acceptance and understanding. My style is relational, meaning I desire to create a space to truly listen and engage with clients and work collaboratively as a team. I am comfortable utilizing an integrated approach that synthesizes my Christian values with research based practices if desired.
