"I work with clients struggling with recovery from drugs and or alcohol. I see clients that have loved ones that have lost control over their use. Some clients are sober, but stuck in other areas and seek consultation for 2nd and 3rd stage recovery. My practice treats common issues related to substance-use disorder, including: gambling disorder, anxiety, cognitive distortions, shame, low self-esteem, guilt, fear and anger. Individuals, couples and families are all welcome. High-school, and college students that need counseling and case management to keep up or re-engage academics or sports will be right at home in my space."

"Do you want to be healthy? That's the goal for many of us. We really do want to be healthy. We really want to truly experience wholeness...emotionally, mentally, physically, relationally, and spiritually. But the fact is we often find ourselves in a journey elsewhere. Life takes us down a different road. Detours become commonplace. We sometimes lose our way. We get distracted and miss our turn. Our pursuit of wholeness can quickly become a journey to simply survive. Our journey can leave us feeling alone and isolated without a connection with anyone."

"I chose to become a counselor because there is a great deal of hurt and pain in the world, but not many effective resources for healing. I have seen many hurt and angry people genuinely desire change but feel so stuck, they don't even know where to begin. Throughout my journey to become a counselor, I have learned that sometimes hope can be really hard to believe in and change can be really difficult. However, when hope is found it can be a great source of strength. When change is sought after, the stuck feeling begins to loosen and the true healing begins."

"Individuals, Couples, and Family Counseling provided in a secure, safe, and confidential environment. Clients are encouraged to learn and develop an authentic self through discovery, experience, and establishing new ways of relating to others. My philosophy embraces the family systems models, integrating various modalities to ensure personal fit and resolution progress."

"I am looking forward to expanding my scope of practice to include working/collaborating with medical physicians in an integrated health care clinic."

"My ideal client is a person that needs help with regulating their day to day life due to relationship issues, codependency, couples issues, emotion regulation, parenting concerns, issues with the law, weight loss and obesity, and self-esteem concerns. I have worked a lot with victims of abuse in many forms. I enjoy helping others put the pieces of their life together step by step."

"Therapist?? How do you choose? That is the question everyone starts with! So, here's a quick bit about me, and my philosophy as a therapist... My goal, is to work myself out of a job. Plain and simple. I don't want to keep you forever in therapy, I want to help you get through the CRISIS you bring or the troubles that started you looking for help, equip you with the tools to handle challenges on your own, and send you out to live your life in a healthier direction. A healthy person is hands down, the best referral source for a counselor!"

"Some folks choose therapy because they want to grow personally, and they desire a supportive person to assist in that process. Other folks choose therapy because they are in intense pain -they may be feeling emotionally overwhelmed or experiencing a crisis in a major relationship. I am comfortable working in either situation. I will provide a safe environment to explore your thoughts and feelings to help make sense of them. I will work to strengthen your healthy connections with others."

"I provide tailored psychotherapy for children/adolescents and their families.I have been working along side families for over 20 years in both urban and suburban settings including homeschooled, public and privately educated children. I have extensive knowledge of schools, special education laws and process. I am an empathic, down to earth individual who creates a safe, relaxed and warm environment for my clients. As a mother of two children, I understand how difficult it can be to be a parent. My approach is to help act as a coach/collaborator for parents by helping support them manage emotional and behavioral issues."

"Finding yourself in a place of need or asking for help can be scary, but it can also be a courageous step toward healing mind, body, and soul. I find my passion in helping others who struggle with substance abuse issues, anxiety, depression, grief, self-esteem, and other everyday life challenges. I desire to see each individual grow into his or her full potential through the difficult journey of self awareness, reliance on innate strengths, and the ability to maintain hope in the face of adversity."

"Therapy can be intimidating, scary and hard. But therapy is conversations that occur on a scheduled basis. All of us at some time face struggles and all desire connection. Unfortunately and all too often, sometimes the connections we find can leave us more empty, isolated, feeling broken and alone. As a therapist, connecting with people who are struggling and letting them know they aren't alone in their struggle is vital. Some conversations are harder than others and each is meaningful. It is my job & pleasure to have these conversations with you. Each client is different, so is each conversation."

"Are you struggling in your life or with your relationships? Do you want to feel whole, healthy, and empowered to live a meaningful and positive life? I believe that is something we all strive for, but life's roadblocks can present challenges that impede our growth and cause us to stumble. We have all experienced difficulties that often impact our relationships with others, in many different capacities. It is important to move forward in life righting our wrongs, learning from our mistakes, and building bridges to forge new relationships or repair those that have been broken."

"You or a loved one are not feeling like yourselves right now. One of you might feel depressed, anxious, or a combination of both. Like a storm, life can become dark and cold with unexpected outcomes. These outcomes left you overwhelmed and spiraling out of control. I've been there and I am here to walk on this journey alongside you. Freedom and LIFE is a phone call away. You can find the peace and happiness that you desire. Whether I'm talking about you, your child, or you and your partner, IT'S TIME TO TAKE STEPS TOWARDS HEALING."

"Life is hard and it's never one thing that causes us to begin looking for help. Addiction, relationships stress, depression, anxiety and behavior issues are all catalysts for someone to begin a relationship with a therapist. I offer individual, couples and family therapy in a safe and confidential environment. I enjoy working with individuals and couples to see lives change and to see healing begin. I use solution-focused strategies reach goals that we set together."

"How can I help you? I've been asking people that question for over 20 years. A person often responds, " I don't know where to start." By looking here, you have started. Whether its a better marriage, parenting, grief and loss, career counseling, or some other important concern, I would like to help. So, how can I help you?"

"Life tends to pile on, and sometimes the stress gets to the point where it just feels toxic. We question everything, especially when the hurts from our past feel like they're a heavy shroud over our happiness and what we hope to accomplish. I firmly believe that it doesn't have to be this way; that healing and meeting whatever goals you set for your overall well-being can be possible with the right kind of support. I work from the perspective of 'what has happened to lead to this problem, and how can we work through it together?'"

"I am excited to help those with learning and attention problems in the Nashville community with my new practice devoted exclusively to the evidence-based medical diagnosis and treatment of ADHD and related disorders. We specialize in children and adolescents, ages 4-21. This new pathway within my General Pediatrics career allows me to take the time necessary to effectively treat attention problems and take them from frustration to focus!"

"Are you ready to build a new storyline for your life, one that is filled with hope and strengths that manifest a new, healthier path forward? From stress reduction to grief, I enjoy working with clients to co-author new narratives that move you beyond your state of crisis. You are not the problem. Rather, the problem is the problem. My focus is to create a journey that flourishes with possibilities rather than problem(s) that dominate your life and your story."
