Counseling may be the answer to helping you discover who are, what you want to become and develop a plan to build a brighter future.

I blend my training in traditional psychology with holistic psychotherapies. While providing an atmosphere of respect and compassion in which to work, my goal is to promote insight, growth and development so that each individual can achieve their potential in their personal lives and in their relationships with others.

Would you like to find a way to recognize the positive things in your life and enjoy them without self doubt and anxiety? Are you in recovery from abuse or another traumatic event?

All of the Brené Brown, LMSW, PhD treatment models (The Daring Way™, Rising Strong and Gifts of Imperfection) help you recognize your authenticity and gain skills to move through life with purpose and grace. EMDR can also help ease past trauma's and allow you to thrive despite difficult past experiences.

Are you have difficulty navigating life? Are you seeking a sensitive Therapist/Coach/Social Worker who will respect you by not make any assumptions, but will honor your unique story, history and journey? Have you been told that therapy is for the weak or for those whose faith is not strong enough? COVID-19. Job loss. A car accident. Dissatisfaction with life. The death of someone you love. Challenges such as these can affect many areas of one's life. Although these challenges may be a "normal" process of life, this may cause individuals to feel "stuck," or hopeless.

If something inside is holding you back from experiencing your full potential to love, work, and play -- I might be the person to help you to the next level (whether by getting you out of the hole or helping you to new heights). I focus on the whole, unique person, not merely the problems or wounds a person brings in, so my approach is not limited to specific circumstances or diagnoses.

My ideal client is one who is tired of being miserable and desires change. They have a clear vision of how they want their life to be different, and they are ready to do the work to get themselves there. They could struggle with relationships, anxiety, depression, spiritual issues, past hurt, trauma, lying, or with just about anything. The most important thing is that they are tired of being where they are in life, and they are ready to make a change. My passion is to come alongside my clients and assist them in reaching their own goals.

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with 23 years of experience of working in the counseling field. My desire is to help individuals, couples, and families in their pursuit of healthy emotional living. In those 23 years, I have had the opportunity to work in several settings- school, church, a psychiatric hospital, and an intensive outpatient program.

Is anxiety getting the best of you? Are you feeling depressed, with low energy and motivation? Or, could it be that your most important relationships are suffering from a lack of emotional connection, with frequent arguments or stony silence? We all have times in life where things may not be going the way we envision, but if you feel stuck in a bad place, there is hope. Many people find therapy helps to get them back on track. It can be a bit scary to think about taking this step, but it can make a difference.

From time to time we all experience life difficulties and could benefit from assistance from someone who can be objective, compassionate and nonjudgmental regarding whatever circumstance we are dealing with. The circumstances might be something in the past or present, but the struggle is still there. Whatever the circumstances are that cause you to consider therapy, I offer support, confidentiality and a caring ear. My goal is to assist you in taking an honest look at what you are experiencing, feeling and thinking. Then together, with a little creativity on both our parts, find a way to make things better.

I believe that therapy is a unique opportunity to have a safe and empathic place to share one's story. It is a privilege for me to journey alongside others as they discover who they are in the midst of that story. I approach therapy in an eclectic manner, and have experience in a variety of therapeutic issues. I work with both individuals and couples interested in seeking treatment for depression, anxiety, relational distress, conflict resolution, and personal growth.

No one is exempt from hardship, struggle, stress or difficulty. In this life we all experience situations and circumstances that are at times beyond our control. I wholeheartedly believe that we are all born with the ability to heal ourselves but that at times we could use a helping hand. Everyone needs a safe supportive space that will allow them to reconnect with themselves. Everyone needs a place that nurtures a sense of emotional well-being and that will allow them to more openly explore pain, release blocks and heal wounds. Nashville Emotional Wellness (NEW) Counseling is this place.

It has been my life-long calling to help others on their journey towards becoming who they were created to be. I understand the impact of trauma on a person’s life; the things done or said to us by others can be a barrier to growing into and becoming our best selves. I have spent decades, locally and abroad, working with individuals and families in under-resourced areas. It is my desire for people to see themselves as more than the sum of their life circumstances and past hurts. I endeavor to provide a safe space where life issues can be worked through and individuals can find freedom and healing.

Therapy focuses on the essential areas of the complexity of human behavior and development in a collaborative therapeutic setting. Therapy provides the opportunity to process challenges an individual may be struggling with by identifying coping skills and therapeutic resources. Transparency and vulnerability are necessary to approach sensitive personal experiences, and most importantly, I believe barriers can be broken with awareness, accountability, education, and resources. As a Licensed Master Social Worker, my educational background and work experience has enhanced my ability to treat various challenges and trauma.

Have you ever been told you are "too much" but you constantly feel like you aren't enough? Or have you ever been depressed but felt guilty because outside looking in you "have it all together"? I've been there and I know how it feels. As a therapist, I offer empathy and help you develop healthy strategies to mute those negative thoughts. I give you the tools to ask for what you need in personal and professional relationships. I remind you that anxiety, depression, and past traumas do not make you broken or flawed. Your brain just works differently and I show you ways to manage that. I believe in you!
