In my personal and professional life, I have found one thing to be true: Life can be hard. I have a passion for supporting others in resolving pain and reclaiming fullness in life. While pain is an inevitable part of the human experience, suffering is optional. I am dedicated to helping individuals, couples, and families heal from relational and other traumas, problematic sexual behaviors, addictions, and intimacy disorders. I see men and women whose lives have spiraled out of control become desperate for help. I see brokenhearted adults and children as they learn to cope with an unstable world. My heart is to heal the broken hearted and give hope where hope was once lost.

“Life be life-ing.” Let’s be real, life can throw a lot at us. Between everything, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed by sadness, anxiety, or the weight of old wounds that haven’t fully healed. Sometimes those experiences leave us feeling angry, bitter, or thinking things like “I’m not good enough,” or “Something’s wrong with me.”
As a trauma-informed therapist, I use a blend of CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy) and various other modalities to help you unpack those thoughts and emotions. Together, we’ll work to shift those limiting beliefs, build healthier coping tools, and help you reconnect with your most confident, grounded self.

I enjoy working with individuals and couples who are suffering from the effects of trauma and attachment wounds.
I love joining with families and children who are facing behavioral challenges and helping them to grieve, problem-solve, and begin enjoying each other again.
My experience as an in-home therapist and clinical supervisor for children who are at risk of being removed from their home has given me a wealth of experience and tools to share with families and I am willing to coach parents and children in the home when needed.

The step you are taking is one of the most difficult and frightening, and it requires great courage to take it. I know, I've been there myself. But, because of that, I also know what awaits on the other side, as well as what it takes to get there. What I am offering is to accompany you within those dark, frightening, painful areas of life we so often get lost in. At a pace of your choosing, we will explore and shine light in those areas so they become less frightening. Then, we will work to find a way out of that darkness and will go through, around, or over any barriers hindering your success.

I am honored to be a witness to this period of your life. As a therapist and clinical supervisor, I'm here to support those who feel like the world will fall apart if they let up the pressure they are holding, for even a moment. The "I will just do it myself" "I don't want to be a burden" "I can't let anyone down" people. Whether you are a caregiver focused on the care of others while going through a major transition of your own, a high-achieving executive with executive dysfunction trying to get by without unravelling, or you are navigating a life changing medical diagnosis and you aren’t certain what comes next, I am here to help.

Being human can be tough, and carrying old wounds can be painful. Pain often speaks to us through patterns of protection, ways we have survived. I help creative, vibrant & sensitive people return to the body's wisdom, gain access to their authentic nature, and find deeper presence in life. Through a somatic, experiential, and relational approach, we navigate lived experience, relationships, the collective field, and the impact within. I approach healing through a non pathologizing, holistic lens— believing that we do not need to be fixed, but given safe permission to be ourselves, fully witnessed and alive in this human experience.

I believe therapy should be more than a place to process struggles. It should be a space where you feel seen, understood, and empowered to create change. I work with children, adolescents, adults, and families, specializing in ADHD, depression, anxiety, mood disorders, and a wide range of other challenges. But therapy isn’t just about diagnoses or fixing what's "wrong" with you. It’s about helping you understand yourself, break free from unhelpful patterns, and create a life that feels more aligned with who you are and who you want to become.

I work best with individuals who have reached a critical crossroads—often professionals, caregivers, or patients who are overwhelmed, misunderstood, or quietly suffering. My ideal client may be a licensed healthcare provider grappling with impairment, burnout, or the fear of losing their career. Or they may be a person living with chronic pain whose family just doesn’t get what they’re going through. Others come to me because they need to have hard conversations—conversations they’ve been avoiding for years—with loved ones, employers, or themselves.
What my patients all share is this: they want to feel like themselves again.

You may be carrying more than you let on.
You’re functioning, showing up for work and family, doing what needs to be done—but inside you may feel overwhelmed, worn down, or emotionally stuck. The stress you’re facing may be tied to relationships, past experiences, family expectations, or simply the weight of holding everything together for too long. You don’t need to be in crisis to benefit from support—you just need a place where you can exhale and be honest.

I'm especially skilled with depression, trauma/PTSD, anxiety, stress, perfectionism, narcissism and survivors of narcissistic abuse, relationships, intimacy, and family dynamics.

Many people are not sure if therapy is right for them. These individuals are often drawn to my approach because I focus on personal empowerment, encourage questions about the process, and develop very unique and collaborative treatment plans.

Originally from Georgia, Hunter moved to Nashville in 2020 and brings with him nearly a decade of experience working in church settings in roles ranging from discipleship ministry to pastoral support. His initial pursuit of vocational ministry was rooted in a desire to understand how people grow and change—an interest that eventually led him toward professional counseling.

Personality Disorders Therapists
What are the common treatment options for personality disorders?
Personality disorders are typically treated with psychotherapy, sometimes in conjunction with medication. Therapy can help people with personality disorders develop skills to tolerate difficult emotions, navigate interpersonal relationships, and solidify their sense of self. Medications can treat symptoms that co-occur with the disorder, such as depression, anger, aggression, and impulsivity.
When to seek treatment for personality disorders?
Even though treatment for personality disorders can be an uphill battle, it’s best to seek help if you suspect that you or a loved one is struggling with one, because personality disorders can create substantial problems in life. Symptoms depend on the specific disorder, but overall signs of personality disorders include consistent difficulty maintaining close relationships, dramatic variations in self-esteem, and an unstable sense of identity.
How long does therapy take for personality disorders?
The timeline for treating personality disorders isn’t as clear-cut as it is for other disorders. Change can be difficult, taking from around one year to five, 10, or more. The key is finding a therapist who has extensive experience treating the relevant disorder. For example, a psychologist who specializes in narcissistic personality disorder has specific communication strategies that allow them to sustain the relationship and be more effective with narcissistic patients.
Can therapy help people with personality disorders?
Research suggests that for those who are motivated to address concerns or interpersonal conflict related to a personality disorder, therapy is far more effective than no treatment, and that most people in therapy see improvements. However, since personality disorders involve entrenched elements of identity, they are less responsive to treatment than are other mental health conditions. Finding an expert who has extensive experience working with a given personality disorder is one factor that increases the likelihood of successful treatment.
