"The truth is that our finest moments are most likely to occur when we are feeling deeply uncomfortable, unhappy, or unfulfilled. For it is only in such moments, propelled by our discomfort, that we are likely to step out of our ruts and start searching for different ways or answers."-M. Scott Peck

Do you feel disconnected from yourself, family and friends; the world? Has your story become lost in the loudness of “getting it done”? Is it hard for you to make sense of it all?

I am passionate about women ’s issues and approach counseling from a place of authentic, honest connection. I believe there are many threats in society, meant to traumatize and fracture women . My goal is to help you overcome adversity and achieve wholeness.

I have a passion to help people find hope and healing through their difficult times in life. I want people to know that they are not alone, as well as to feel like they are heard and can be understood. I like to work from a holistic point of view by incorporating your mind, body and soul into the healing process. I want to help people take back control over their thoughts and help them to express themselves in a safe environment. I want to help people learn to love themselves again and feel a connection from the healing process. I believe that we were made to grow in life by working together and learning from one another.

At Sweetgrass Counseling & Consultation, LLC we believe that: "Each strand alone is not as strong as when braided together." On your counseling journey we aim to serve as a support in weaving together the vision for your life. We are compatible with motivated clients, that are willing to partner in an effort to interrupt emotional or cognitive patterns that are not serving you. We believe that you have intuitive tools that may not be accessible due to "guarded relating" that so many of us have adopted to protect ourselves. Allow us to assist you in unearthing tools that identify your barriers and create sustainable change.

I offer online sessions, so you can get the help you need from the comfort of your home!

It is my goal to encourage, motivate, and empower others to live life without fear or boundaries. "Helping you put your words into action for healing and growth"

I am dedicated to helping my clients build bridges to a healthier, happier life. Are you going through a big change? Life calls us into constant change. Whether planned and joyful or unexpected and grief filled: changes in relationships; parenting; or career - they take their toll on each of us. Healing through grieving, stretching, adjusting, and growing can be blocked when you feel overwhelming emotions, when you are fearful and avoidant of what is to come, and when you simply don't know how to move ahead. I listen to, support, and teach my clients to help reduce anxiety, depression, and stress that comes with life transitions.

Are you always down on yourself about how you don't measure up? Do you get bogged down with this thought and feel too anxious, too depressed to get up each day? I know exactly what you're feeling: lack of focus, little interest in doing what you used to do, sleeping more or less than usual, feeling hopeless & lost, feeling like you're a failure. This dark cloud seems impossible to get rid of but you don't have to suffer anymore. I can help you explore and teach you the tools to take control. (I am licensed in TN & GA).

Feeling overwhelmed? Something's off but you just can't put your finger on it. Maybe you are a new mom or about to be one, or even a seasoned one and life is just getting to be too much. Maybe you have been growing more and more fed up at work. Maybe your relationship with your partner has not been going well. Maybe you and your partner have been trying to decide if you want to have kids. Maybe you have been feeling sad, tired, tearful and it doesn't seem to ever go away. Maybe you have been feeling on edge, unable to sleep, angry. All you want is to feel better, be happier, find clarity, or find peace.

One of my greatest passions involves helping people through various transitions of life. I offer therapy in the area of Grief, Loss, Substance Use Disorders, Trauma, Behavioral Addictions, and Spiritual Direction. I believe our mental health is intricately connected to our emotional and spiritual well-being. There are times we find ourselves choosing unhealthy coping tools to redirect self-defeating, self-loathing, and self-sabotaging thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Through a multi-disciplined approach I'll help you identify those negative thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and reconnect to the emotions you've grown numb to.

If you are like most of us, making the decision to seek out counseling may be a bit overwhelming, leaving you feeling anxious. This is okay and a little expected. Taking the step involves personal courage on your part and this step is the first step in making the changes you want in your life. Are you feeling overwhelmed or defeated by life? Is your emotional imbalance becoming a burden to your relationships, work life, or overall well-being? Are you ready to begin living your best life but unsure of where or how to get on track? If you are seeking wellness, then take the first step toward “weaving the threads of your tapestry."
