Family Therapy in Franklin, TN

Discretion, trust, and a sense of safety are paramount for successful therapy. Working with couples, individuals, and families, my goal is to provide an environment of privacy and safety. Those who participate in therapy find that it can be the impetus for improvement in every area of life. I discreetly work with those with high public profiles in areas that include marriage counseling, anxiety, self-esteem/confidence, depression, attachment wounds, trauma, and relationship distress.Many, whom have not considered systemic therapy previously often experience improved relationships in every aspect of their lives, including individuals in executive leadership and upper management positions, as well as entrepreneurs.

Pain is a powerful motivator for change. Being human means struggling with brokenness and pain. Being human also means we have the choice and ability to work toward healing and toward a more abundant life. When the suffering outweighs the joy of living, it would be my privilege to offer you the tools and guidance needed for healing.I am able to provide this thru personal experience and professional training. I am also a certified yoga instructor and offer individual yoga and meditation (without mysticism) to compliment the therapeutic process.

I work collaboratively with my clients to empower them to take control back in their lives, gain insight into who they are and how they are functioning, and to make changes that will last a lifetime. It is important to feel heard, understood, validated, and safe when discussing personal issues and concerns. I provide an atmosphere of trust and support that allows my clients to explore, discover, grow, and implement effective tools and strategies to improve their life and their well-being and to break free from the destructive patterns and behaviors that have kept them stuck. You are worth it, and you deserve it.

Life is hard and we are all trying to heal from someone or something. The therapeutic process is the greatest gift you could give yourself or your child.

"I need something to change" is a great place to start. Counseling can be a place to facilitate this change. You may find that you are speaking one language while your spouse is speaking another. You can learn how to have a common language and corrective experiences that draw you closer together instead of further apart. Many of your wounds occurred in relationships, thus it is in relationships where they can be restored. I have served individuals and couples in a helping profession for nearly 30 years. You can find practical solutions as well as deep soul and relational change. Though not easy, real change is possible.

I enjoy working with clients seeking to grow emotionally, spiritually and relationally. I believe therapy is an opportunity to journey deeper areas of self awareness and a greater understanding of who we have been created to be. I am relational in my approach to counseling. I believe that we have been broken in relationships and that we are therefore healed in the context of relationships. I have had many clients who have had success and experienced transformation throughout the counseling process. Evening and weekend appointments available. Contact me via phone, email, or text.

With over 10 years in the mental health community, I have seen people find new hope and healing through the introspective and transforming work of therapy, all in pursuit of a life that is deeply satisfying.

I believe we are relational creatures designed to live in intimate relationship with God, Self, and Others and attention must be given to all three areas in order to experience deep transformation.

Since relational healing takes place in relationship, I strive to create a safe place for my clients to process, grow, be challenged, make personal and relational discoveries, and move toward healing, wholeness, and freedom.

There was a time that I was so desperate to make my own marriage work that I went back to school to become a Marriage & Family Therapist . I, then, spent the next decade researching human connection. Not only did this research save my own marriage, I have now helped thousands of couples develop a connection that they didn't think was possible.
