"Thank you for your interest in my practice. Choosing the right therapist for you or one of your loved ones is an important decision. In fact, research has demonstrated that which therapist you work with matters far more than the techniques or approach he or she employs. I enjoy working with adults and adolescents who are dealing with depression, anxiety, relationship issues, substance abuse, eating disorders, grief/loss, as well as general life difficulties. I am grateful for the opportunity to help the people I work with."

"I understand how hard it is to ask for help during one of life's challenges and I honor the courage it takes to begin the counseling process. I partner with clients by meeting each person where they are and by providing a safe, non-judgmental therapuetic space to work through problems, process feelings and find solutions. I provide a sounding board and empowerment to each person by using sense of humor, direct communication and a strong, diverse counseling skill set to help individuals reach their goals."

"I believe we all do our very best to cope with life’s challenges. Allowing someone to face those challenges with you can be one of the hardest aspects of starting psychotherapy. I approach therapy as a partner in exploration and discovery. I work toward creating a safe, warm environment that facilitates connection, understanding, and positive change. Every person is unique and so are their strengths, struggles, and goals, so I focus on tailoring treatment to the specific needs of each client."

"I am a pre-licensed clinical fellow at The Briggs Institute. Therapists at the Institute are graduates of the Marriage and Family Therapy Program at Lipscomb University, which holds its graduates to a much higher standard of clinical experience than the state requires, one that is far greater than other high quality masters programs in Nashville. Because we practice under the supervision of core Lipscomb faculty, we remain connected to academia. This means our work is informed by state-of-the-art scientific research that most private practice therapists can't easily access."

"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. "

"My work as a therapist is based on a conviction that our choices and relationship patterns are fueled by our need to experience wholeness and heal the brokenness of our past. This concept lies at the core of attachment theory and is a powerful tool for helping us understand why we struggle with others and with our own internal critic. In my therapeutic work, I leverage aspects of Imago, Strengths, Solution-focused, Internal Family, and Relational-Cultural theories to help clients progress towards deeper and more meaningful connections with themselves and others."

I would be delighted to help you achieve the relationships in life that you desire. I am the founder of the Connection Codes. The Connection Codes are a blueprint and set of tools for relational connection. "
