Immediate Openings in East Nashville and Downtown Franklin, or Virtual across Tennessee! I believe everyone is born with a True Self — a version of you that feels whole, grounded, and at ease. Over time, life’s challenges can lead us to develop coping strategies that pull us away from that authentic self, often resulting in anxiety, disconnection, or inner conflict. My goal is to help individuals and partners reduce the gap between the life you’re living and the life you long for. Together, we’ll work toward clarity, peace, and reconnection to you.
I offer an experiential process to lead you from your adaptive self on a journey to your authentic self. For couples, I use an Emotionally Focused Therapy approach that helps each partner understand the other and any accompanying emotional wounds.
Let me help guide you on the journey back to yourself.
