Sexual Abuse Therapists in Drummonds, TN

"Healing does not mean the damage never existed. It means the damage no longer controls our lives." (Unknown). To truly heal, we must consider our whole self -- the emotional, mental, spiritual, relational and physical parts. I am dedicated to helping people heal brokenness, strengthen positives and develop lasting change -- to find solutions for handling internal and external struggles, allowing for a healthier and more peaceful life. Everyone is hurt in some way, on some level, but we cannot thrive while dwelling in our brokenness. True healing is possible. Helping people to live a life unlimited is my passion, my calling.

Poet Maya Angelou wrote: "There is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside you". Opening oneself is a courageous and vulnerable act and I want you to know that I will provide you a space to explore at your own pace, and a place to feel known, heard and accepted as you journey in your healing. As part of the process I help you identify and foster your strengths while allowing you to explore your personal path to healing. I utilize talk as well as expressive arts therapies to meet your unique needs and comfort level.

Imagine this: You wake up feeling lighter, free from worries that used to consume you. You prioritize your own needs and stop putting everyone else's first. You trust your intuition to guide you through any emotional wave. Healthy boundaries become effortless and you confidently express your truth. Anxious attachments that once drained your energy transform into secure relationships that nourish your soul. You break free from generational patterns and claim your gifts. What if this didn't need to take years of therapy? It's time to embody the joy you long for and release blocks through mind, body, and spirit connection.

I love hearing client’s unique stories and walking with them through whatever life brings their way. I want to help clients get to the root of their issues rather than staying on the surface of the same patterns. I desire to help clients get out of survival mode by opening their hearts and learning more of who they are so they can live life fully the way God made them. I have experience in both private practice and residential treatment. I have worked closely with those dealing with addiction, anxiety, depression, trauma and PTSD, grief and loss, self-esteem issues, codependency, marriage counseling, and relationship issues.

A starting point of CHANGE..."We can't solve our problems by using the same thinking we used when we created them."--Albert Einstein. It is true that we cannot always chose the events that happen or have happened to us. But we CAN chose consciously the interpretation we make about things that happen to us. Change begins when we accept ourselves "as is" and empower ourselves to overcome or cope with life's challenges. Change occurs when we stop believing negative thoughts about ourselves and the world around us and begin giving ourselves the love and acceptance that we desperately need and deserve.
