Do you feel confused about which career will fit you best? Do you feel overwhelmed trying to select the best career for you? Are you anxious about making a mistake that will cost you years of dissatisfaction? Are you struggling in a relationship and want solutions? These are common anxieties that I address in my counseling and coaching practice.

Our life and relationship experiences can take us to places where we feel stuck, hopeless and overwhelmed. My therapy practice exists to provide a safe place for you to explore, listen, reconnect, and experience change. I have experience working with couples, individuals, and families who are dealing with disconnection in relationship, infidelity, unhealthy conflict, failures in communication, trauma, grief, divorce, depression, anxiety, and difficult life transitions. My aim is to provide you with a therapeutic space where you can experience yourself and others in a new, hopeful, transformative way.

I work with adults experiencing depression, anxiety, grief, and/or trauma related disorders who hope to have an improvement in lifestyle. I have worked in the Clarksville area since 2008 with a variety of populations, with extensive work with active duty and veteran individuals and civilian couples. In every situation, my goal is to make sure you are heard, not as a symptom or something that needs to be fixed, but as a human with feelings and goals.

The foundation of a quality life depends on having quality relationships whether that be with ourselves or those who are extensions of ourselves. When our relationships suffer, we suffer. We help traumatized adults, adolescents, couples, and families. Collectively, we have had over 15 years of experience helping people heal and we have sought some of the best training to do so. We have had clinical experience in treatment centers, psychiatric hospitals, military installations, DCS, college campuses, & school systems. Now, we want to help you & your loved ones! **WE HAVE 7 NEW PROVIDERS OFFERING FLEXIBLE RATES AND HOURS**

Therapy is about making connections with yourself and others, finding your value and your voice, and being accepted and supported while doing so. Identifying that you want to make a change is the first step in creating the life you want to live. Unfortunately, just thinking of making changes can be stressful and overwhelming! Let me help you identify the roadblocks that are getting in the way of making positive change. I use a structured, goal oriented, holistic approach to break down the process into manageable steps in a supportive, nurturing environment.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with over 20 years' counseling experience. With a genuine heart to help, warmth, and a sense of humor, my goal is to walk alongside my clients in a relaxed and supportive environment. I specialize in children and adolescents and also provide counseling for women. I regularly meet with parents/guardians to discuss progress or concerns and am accustomed to working with military populations. Utilizing a variety of treatment modalities, my areas of clinical focus include stress, depression, anxiety, trauma, grief, divorce, low self-esteem, social/relationship difficulties, and adjustment issues.

At Willow Tree Counseling my goal is to provide confidential and professional services for individuals and families in Clarksville, TN. I specialize in working with military populations, children, adolescents, couples, families, and individuals dealing with a wide range of concerns.

I have over 20 years experience in private practice and institutional settings. I work with individuals and couples. I use traditional talk therapy methods as well as instituting new approaches such as the use of EMDR for those suffering from trauma.

You are likely angry, numb, depressed, afraid, or simply not sure what is going on with you. I am open, sensitive, and calming while I work to meet you where you are. I provide a safe and non-judgmental environment for you to be yourself and to explore more of who you are. I am eclectic in my approach. My go-to model is one that teaches you how to provide healing to yourself through its meditative qualities. This therapy model is called IFS (Internal Family Systems).

I understand that when your child is having a hard time, it affects the entire family. Maybe you are the parent/guardian of a child who needs a therapist who will listen to what works or doesn't with your child. Maybe you are a young adult struggling with family, school, work, or feelings of depression and anxiety and need someone to both listen non-judgmentally, and help you with real solutions to feel better or help you to understand and communicate these feelings. Maybe your child is on probation and you don't feel like counseling has worked in the past and need a new approach to what you or your child is dealing with.

"Just think happy thoughts." "It's just a phase." "Quit worrying so much." "It could be worse." "When I was your age..." "What you should do is..." "You should just pray about it." If all this "helpful" advice has not worked for you then maybe it's time to try counseling.

If you have been feeling lost or alone then you have found the right person. I believe that we all walk our own journey. I know that inside each of us is the desire to be the best that we can be and sometimes that just gets clouded with life. I am here to help with that struggle whether it is you or your loved one, help is closer than you think.

I offer a judgement-free environment in which I will help you heal the past, discover who you are today, and explore what you can achieve tomorrow. My ideal client would be someone open to change, looking for someone to assist them in maximizing their potential - someone who wants more for themselves and their life. I am here to help guide you to achieve your dreams through proactive problem-solving and cognitive restructuring. I will provide you with actionable tools to create a road map to expand your unique talents and skills and challenge you to fulfill your greatest potential and improve your relationships.

We all experience times of stress, fear, loneliness and sadness. Worries and "what if's" can keep us up at night. But when these things start to affect our overall well being and daily functioning, help from a professional can be beneficial. I can work with you in these difficult times and provide support and tools necessary for healing.I hope you will find my office safe, welcoming, nonjudgemental and a place where you can talk through what's bothering you.

Sometimes life can be messy. It can leave us feeling overwhelmed, stuck and alone. You're tired of pushing through each day, and want more out of life. You find yourself longing for relief from the pressures of life, only to find more weight on your shoulders. It feels like others don't get what you're going through, and so you struggle in silence. Over time, you find that the dissatisfaction, heart ache, resentment, worry, or emptiness is eating away at the joy in your life. It's hurting you and the ones you love. You find yourself wondering if you will ever stop feeling this way. You want to do something about it.

Do you ever wonder how you got to where you are now? Do you have the thought of being at the “end of the road?” Are you feeling alone, broken, sad or anxious? Do you sometimes experience intense level of self-doubt, self-hatred or fear? Are you the parent of a child or adolescents that express feelings of abandon, hopelessness, shame, an intense level of anger, defiant and/or low self-worth?

Each person has their own individual needs and obstacles to overcome in life, and as a professional I seek to provide a safe and judgement-free space to help individuals deal with life’s issues. I enjoy working with individuals, from children to the elderly population, along with providing services for families. I do not believe I have a “magic wand,” so I encourage my clients to wholly pursue and take control of what they need and want get out of counseling services.

It is my desire to assist families and individuals who are interested in improving their self-esteem, emotional intelligence, and spiritual well-being. Life is easier and more satisfying when we are at peace with ourselves.

Are you so frustrated that it keeps you from moving forward? Are you anxious for something to happen in your life, something positive? Does your thinking wander, anxiously waiting for the phone call, text message, email, letter, or positive message from someone? Is anxiety setting in, and you have nowhere to go? You are facing the enemy of fear, stress, or anxiety. Will it help you to call on a counselor to help process the frustration, anxiety, and to give you tools? I encourage you to reach out to me if you answer "yes" to any of the above questions.
