Therapists in Bartlett, TN

Welcome! I'm sure the thought of therapy is scary, and maybe you're thinking to yourself, "I never thought I would be here." I'm here to assure you that you don't have to face what you're facing alone. Guess what? Therapy is a completely normal and healthy thing to seek out. Millions of people do it every day. If you had an accident and physical surgery was required, you wouldn't think twice about it. Of course! Therapy is mental surgery. Many times, we try to put a bandaid on top of things that require some extra work. I would be thrilled to assist and walk beside you as you put in this extra work.

Are you feeling stuck, as if life has more to offer but you aren't sure how to get there? When Challenges and Stressors come into our lives it can become more than we can handle. During these times we may feel sad, shame, anxious, defeated, or powerless. I believe every crisis is an opportunity for growth. It is through these tough times and perseverance that lasting change can occur in our lives. Therapy can assist you through difficult times, and help you overcome every day obstacles. Through a collaborative person centered approach it is my hope you will learn to access and engage your inner strengths to combat life challenges.

I have substantial experience working with children and adolescents in the following areas: emotional and behavioral issues, trauma, adoption and foster care issues, grief/loss, learning and developmental disabilities, anger management, family/relational problems, communication and social skills, self-injurious behavior, anxiety and stress management, LGBTQ population, attachment issues, and emerging adult/life transitions.

You've been holding your breath and struggling to keep things together. You’re tired of hoping others won’t realize how nervous you are or how out of place you feel. You’re constantly tired and just getting through the day is a struggle. Instead of enjoying the life that comes from your hard work, you find yourself isolated from family or looking for comfort in the bottom of a bottle. You're restless, irritable, can’t think straight, and tired of feeling like a failure. You're tired of wondering what the hell is going on inside of you. You want real, meaningful change in your life and for your family. You just want to feel happy.

I work well with clients whom are seeking to improve their quality of life. If there’s ever a moment where one maybe feeling a void, emptiness inside of them I assist and facilitate clients through rediscovery of self. The concept of being fully aware of oneself and how you see the world is crucial to identifying and upholding your personal values and standards. It’s when we neglect our standards of living do we find conflict or that internal battle. Most of the time this happens when a life stressor occurs. My ideal client is one whom is ready to move from victim to survivor.

My passion is to help people recognize their inner strength so that they can reach their goals. I believe that by finding the intrinsic power that is within all of us we can experience renewed hope and motivation. I believe strongly in the connection between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. I work with clients to become aware of this connection and learn how to take control over their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors in the process. I use a person centered approach to work together with my clients to achieve their treatment goals.

Are you struggling with anxiety, depression, stress or trauma? Or maybe something is just a little off, but you can't tell what it is? Have you tried going to therapy before and it just didn't seem to click? Well, welcome! My clients often express feeling very comfortable and relaxed during our sessions, even when we are working on the really difficult stuff. I believe my clients are the experts on their thoughts, feelings, and experiences. It's my job to help you find those within yourself.

Are you (or your child or adolescent) feeling irritable or tired? Are you having trouble sleeping, concentrating, or simply making it through each day? Perhaps those in your household are wrestling with feelings of anger, sadness, anxiety, or social isolation. First and foremost, you aren't alone. And believe it or not, what you or your family members are struggling with may be rooted in grief and loss, trauma, or even shame. Environmental stress, the death of a loved one, changes in physical health, divorce or relationship loss, and day-to-day life transitions can thrust anyone into an emotional and physical tailspin.

Do you feel like you're in constant conflict with your spouse, a friend, or family member? Is it hard to express what you want in relationships, and you feel like you keep getting stuck? Relationships, whether with partners, children, family members, or friends, are often the source of our greatest joys and most painful heartaches. You want to enjoy your time with your favorite people. The first step is to understand and cope with your own needs and emotions so that you can learn to clearly express them to your loved ones and feel understood.

Life does not always come easy and can present us with very difficult challenges. These challenges impact our lives and often cause us to feel alone, ashamed, afraid, inadequate, overwhelmed and lead to isolation, withdrawal, risky behaviors, and decreased functioning in social, work, or other areas of life. Unfortunately, in our struggle to cope, our emotional and mental health needs have often been minimized, pushed down, or completely ignored. Therapy often helps us navigate these challenging times and attain more fulfilling lives.
