Do you ever feel overwhelmed? Like no one is listening? Not knowing what the next step in life might be? Being a Marriage and family therapist has given me the opportunity to make a difference in many lives. Knowing that there are many hills and valleys in the life we have chosen and sometimes we struggle with day to day events. Working through those hills and valleys can be difficult alone. We all have our own story to tell and I want to hear yours.

I use an approach that is holistic and integrative, combining cognitive-behavioral therapy, mindfulness, and other therapeutic processes, to engage you as a whole-person – mind, body, and spirit.
Life can be frustrating and challenging when you're dealing with overwhelming feelings, constant worry, or self doubt. Do you often find yourself battling with your emotions, teetering between anger and sadness? Are you lashing out at those around you or do you shut down, hoping to avoid difficult or uncomfortable situations? Want more control over your emotions and how you react to others? You can be left feeling anxious, frustrated, lonely, or even angry when personal issues go unsolved. Know that you don't have to tackle life's problems on your own. Life can change for you and I can help guide you through the process.

I have received training in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and mindfulness based interventions.
Do you feel you’re on autopilot and just going through the motions? Do you feel lost and unsure of what to do next? Do you feel like emotions and racing thoughts are running your life and you’re not sure how to regain control? You are not alone. Our emotions can feel overwhelming, ruminating thoughts can be tiresome, and impulsive behavior can feel out of our control. My hope is to help you cultivate curiosity to gain a deeper understanding of your emotions, thoughts, behaviors, and identities. I aim to help you clarify your goals and values and explore how to incorporate these into your daily life to reconnect with your true self.

I have advanced training in Somatic Experiencing and Sandplay, and use EMDR, IFS, and mindfulness.
It is natural to experience a range of emotions; some flooding us thoroughly, and others frozen at our core. Sometimes we all feel challenged by life itself. This is why it can be helpful to seek out a therapist. My counseling practice is focused on helping adults and teens who struggle with trauma, depression, anxiety, and chronic stress. The foundation of my practice is layered. In order to effectively work together, I believe that it is important to understand your past, as it informs your present. Much of our resilience stems from our interactions with attachment figures—It is necessary to consider the context of our life.

In addition to various forms of therapy, I utilize mindfulness to ground clients in the present as we establish and work towards achievable goals.
My clients are often those struggling with anxiety, self-worth, and life transitions/adjustments. I also have particular specialities and experience with grief, substance addictions or those who are the loved one of a person with addictions, and trauma. When you read the word "trauma" it doesn't have to mean only abuse, car accidents, etc. There are various stressful life experiences that register as trauma, such as divorce, neglect/abandonment, health related issues and diagnoses, miscarriages, and many more. All that is needed from you is a desire to be present in the counseling space. The rest we walk through together.

I draw from traditional therapeutic modalities, as well as somatic and mindfulness based practices to best help individuals align and integrate their minds, bodies, and spirits.
Part of the reason I was drawn to this profession is because therapy has been an invaluable tool in my own life. Being a human is hard work and none of us get it out of it unscathed. I believe that we could all benefit from having an opportunity and a space to put words to our fears, doubts, emotions, and beliefs and to help us gain clarity on what is serving us and what is holding us back.

I can guide you in art therapy, mindfulness, and yoga to express and understand difficult emotions, restore your energy, and discover ways to leave you feeling like your true self.
Offering sessions in Art Therapy to support chronic illness, grief and loss, and burnout. Throughout our lives, loss can show up in many forms: the loss of a job, the loss of a relationship, the loss of health, the loss of fertility, and of course the loss of life. All of these experiences can have the same intense effects as the death of a loved one. They can leave us feeling shattered, lost, and alone. Our modern-day way of life does not provide us with the rituals or guides we need to properly care for ourselves, find relief and support, and effectively grieve these losses when they occur. I understand, and I’m here to help.

In therapy, I draw from a wide range of disciplines, including CBT, ACT, mindfulness, and others, depending on your needs and preferences.
I'm a psychologist and Tennessee native who treats adolescents and adults for a wide range of concerns, focusing on depression, anxiety, bad habits, relational difficulties, and many more. You may have a sense that something is wrong with your life but have trouble articulating exactly what it is or resist giving it a medical label; when something's off, you probably experience it holistically in multiple facets of your life. That's normal, and that's what I intend to help you with. You may need help with a concrete problem, or you may need help with existential themes. I see them as interrelated and will assist with both.

Mindfulness-Based (MBCT) Therapists

How does mindfulness-based cognitive therapy work?

Mindfulness-based cognitive therapy originated in the work of John Kabat-Zinn of the University of Massachusetts Medical School. He developed mindfulness-based stress reduction, which is a technique found in yoga and meditation. MBCT is a combination of this type of stress reduction and cognitive behavioral therapy; it essentially quiets emotional distress through mindfulness, utilizing proper breathing and meditation. These techniques aim to bring the individual into the present moment when in a state of distress.

When do I know if I need treatment with mindfulness-based cognitive therapy?

If an individual’s mind is filled with emotional distress and general negativity, the person may feel trapped. A mindfulness-based cognitive therapist can help a person change their thinking patterns as well as their behavior through calm acceptance and compassion. This therapy can provide an individual with the coping skills needed for a healthier and more constructive life.

What should I expect from mindfulness-based cognitive therapy?

This therapy often takes place in group sessions. A therapist will work with the group as well as with each individual. Meditation and breathing exercises are core practices that aim to invite inquiry and discovery into a person’s troubled mental state. The objective is to identify and lessen negative thoughts and behaviors and move toward optimal health and productivity. The individual will see life in a more realistic way. This therapy is supportive, accepting, and warm.

Is mindfulness-based cognitive therapy effective?

Mindfulness-based cognitive therapy is evidence-based and effective. One study found that people with major depressive disorder have benefitted from this type of therapy; the person accepts their distressed thoughts and also moves into healthier patterns of thinking. This therapy also aims to move an individual away from automatic negative responses. This type of therapy can bring a person lifelong change, with higher levels of satisfaction, less stress, as well as positive emotional and behavioral habits.
