Therapists in Clinton, TN

I enjoy working with children and families who are struggling to understand each other and get along. A lack of communication and an inability to express feelings appropriately are often the main issues in these relationships. I work with not only the children/teens to increase their abilities in these areas, I also work with the parents and siblings to help them understand how they can help the relationship be less turbulent.

I am passionate about assisting individuals and families in growing to their fullest potential. I do not view an individual's problems in a negative manner, but believe that many obstacles can be used as opportunities to bring about positive changes and personal growth. A primary focus of my work history includes working with clients who have experienced depression, anxiety, loss and trauma. I also have extensive training in marital and family therapy. I have past experience working as a group facilitator for FOCUS Healthcare and specialize in working with clients who struggle with eating disorders.

I know that seeking help can be overwhelming and there are many qualified individuals who could help you, but you need a therapist who is a good fit for you. Consider if I am this "good fit". I believe I have the unique ability to connect with my clients, and they with me. This can be done through empathy. Empathy is the experience of understanding another persons thoughts, feelings, and conditions from their point of view. I work hard at doing this with every individual and their unique experiences.

Everyone's journey is full of unpredictable challenges and painful events that sometimes feel impossible to handle. We are all doing the best we can with what we know. Sometimes we need additional support to help us reflect on challenging events to facilitate the natural healing process. Our past can help shape us, but it does not define who we are. Therapy can encourage empowerment, growth, success, and fulfillment to make adjusting to life's challenges a bit easier.

Whether you’re looking for a new counselor or considering therapy for the first time, I’m happy you’re here!

Welcoming New Clients. Did you know that if you have ADHD, you are more likely to struggle with anxiety & depression? You might also struggle with relationships, staying on task, managing emotions, and difficulties at work or school. You may feel like you are working against your brain versus with it. Having ADHD and it affecting your life daily feels exhausting. My goal as a therapist is to help you feel empowered throughout the therapeutic process. I approach therapy more as a conversation between the two of us and address any concerns or needs you feel are important. I approach each session with an open mind and without judgment.

One of the things life has taught me is to not believe everything you think because our mind can really play tricks on us. There is hope even when you think there is none. There are solutions even when you cannot see them, because you have more power than you know.
