Therapists in Maryville, TN

Now Accepting New Clients! Have you found yourself thinking "something has to change"? I think we all have from time to time. Whether you are struggling with stress associated with life changes, trouble managing anxiety or depression, relationship challenges, grief, or persistent mental illness; I am here to walk beside you in your journey to wellness. I offer a relaxed and comfortable atmosphere to get to know one another and explore the best individualized methods to reaching your goals.

I find that I work best with those who are repelled by an extremely clinical-feeling approach; I'm a person too, just like you. I decorate my office in such a way to feel as little like sitting in a doctor's office as possible and wear band shirts to work. I believe therapy shouldn't feel hierarchical, nor alienating. You and I are on the same level here. We’re collaborating to help you reach a point in your life where you feel stable and content. I’m not here to judge you or tell you what to do, but rather to work as a friendly voice to help you connect missing pieces and wade through life’s challenges with more confidence.

My goal is to provide my clients with a safe non-judgemental space to grow emotionally. Together we are able to create individual unique plans that allow individuals and families to function in their desired capacity.

Hi there! I specialize in working with adults who have had difficult relationship experiences throughout their lives. Maybe you had a difficult childhood. Maybe you struggle with your current romantic relationship. Maybe you have a difficult time trusting yourself or others. Maybe your relationship is struggling to survive the impact of old wounds. Maybe you do not know how to find relief from the pain of the past.

Breaking the stigma of mental health begins by choosing to be healthy for yourself. Trusting someone is difficult, especially when struggling with mental health, because it makes us feel vulnerable. Please know vulnerability is not a weakness. My passion is helping, including creating a comfortable space that allows individuals to be their authentic selves. We all have a story that includes various experiences. I enjoy helping individuals to gain an understanding of their stories to provide them with clarity and empowerment. My experience includes domestic violence, trauma, anxiety, depression, and personality disorders.

Do you, your child or teen feel overly stressed, anxious, irritable, depressed, lonely, scared, misunderstood, unheard, guilty, or ashamed? Maybe you or your child are struggling with sleep, socializing, concentration, going to work or school, or painful memories coming up into mind or heart? Is it hard to connect or trust others? Does every day seem like a fight just to achieve everyday tasks? Now is the time to stand up and break the chains of suffering. You have the capability to feel relief, peace, joy, and stability with evidenced-based treatment from a therapist that is dedicated to walk you from suffering into freedom.

As an OT, I work with children and adults - with or without a formal diagnosis - to help them feel more calm and comfortable in their bodies so that they can participate successfully and happily in everyday life. I use a sensory integration approach and work with children and adults whose difficulties may look like: sensitivity to textures or sounds, limited diet, clumsiness or poor coordination, easily overwhelmed, difficulty maintaining attention, or trouble with change/transitions.

First of all, there is nothing wrong with you, okay? You are inherently whole and worthy just as you are. You are so much more than what has happened to you or what you are struggling with right now. Even if it feels like that’s all you can think about, there are time-tested tools we can use to get you or your child back to living the life you want to live. I am passionate about ending the cycle of generational anxiety and trauma by guiding parents through the landmines of their past and supporting children and families to become more connected and more present with each other. I would love to work with you if…

I am a pre-licensed professional working toward state licensure after obtaining my Master's of Education in Mental Health Counseling.

I support folks longing for greater health, wellness and wholeness through somatic oriented psychotherapy. I provide a supportive atmosphere where you can feel free to listen within yourself without any pressures or judgment. I will help you to welcome whatever comes, and support you as you discover steps of change you want to take in your life, opening to more and more of your authentic soul self.

I love to work with couples. Every relationship has it's ups and downs, good times and bad. I'm here to help you through those hard times with you partner, equipping you with effective tools for communication, compromise and compassion. In individual counseling we all know that no two people can experience life in the same way. That's why it's my mission to tailor every single session to your individual needs, in order to overcome hardship, manage effects of past trauma and achieve spiritual, mental, emotional and relational balance.

Life is hard right now--for everyone. You might be struggling personally or in your relationships (or both!), but you've come to the right place.

You've taken the first step! Is your trauma becoming more of a problem for you? Are you struggling with motivation and feeling more overwhelmed. Are you using unsustainable or unhealthy ways to cope with life? You are not alone. Life is pretty complex and sometimes presents us with challenges that require extra support. Being curious or even feed up enough to look for extra support for your struggles shows a lot of courage. Congratulations to you for not allowing those old fears to consume you and taking the first step to improve your life.

The people I work best with appreciate my love of neuroscience and how brains work, along with my sense of humor and lightheartedness. Often, we feel like something is wrong with us but when we explore our experiences, personality, and needs, what we are experiencing begins to make more sense. Once it makes more sense to us, it’s easier to communicate these things to our loved ones. For many people, this means they can leave behind the weight of what they experienced and transform their suffering into connection.
