Hi, I’m Michelle. I help adults who feel overwhelmed, stuck, or worn down by PTSD/trauma, stress, or big life changes. You might tell others, "I'm fine", and look like it from the outside.

And if you like straight forward and sometimes humorous, we might be a good fit!

If you’re stuck in cycles of poor sleep, burnout, or constantly “holding it together,” you’re not alone — and you’re not broken. Many of the clients I support are education professionals, college students, or people coming to therapy for the first time — often seeking help with sleep, stress, and feeling constantly “on.”
For the past 10 years, I’ve supported adults across Tennessee through virtual therapy,
with a special focus on sleep and rest recovery. I help clients who struggle with
insomnia, perfectionism, people-pleasing, imposter syndrome, and chronic stress learn
how to rest again — both physically and emotionally.

Hello, glad you could make it here. Has life's challenges thrown you off course? Has the struggles of your past been affecting your present and dimming your future? Have you gotten to a point in life where you just feel stuck and not living the life that you want to live?

This can often be tough to acknowledge and let's be real, seeking help from a professional can be a daunting and intimidating task. But it does not have to be. There is hope.

Struggles with confidence, insecurities, unaddressed trauma, inappropriate coping skills, and a host of other barriers can prevent us from living our best lives. These challenges often lead to anxiety, depression, impulsivity, dissociation, and other mental health issues that hinder our well-being. Consequently, these factors can interfere with our ability to navigate life transitions and form healthy relationships. This doesn't have to be your reality.

How does cognitive processing therapy work?
A CPT therapist helps a client evaluate their thoughts about the trauma they experienced, focusing on maladaptive or self-blaming thoughts that can exacerbate symptoms of PTSD, anxiety, or depression. The therapist will work with a client to help them learn to challenge such thoughts and consider different perspectives. The therapist is also likely to ask a client to work on these techniques at home between meetings, such as writing an account of their trauma that can be read aloud during a future session.
What is cognitive processing therapy for PTSD?
Cognitive processing therapy (CPT) is a form of cognitive-behavioral therapy primarily used in the treatment of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) to treat individuals who experienced abuse or violence, who survived natural disasters, who were first responders to such incidents, or who otherwise experienced trauma.
How long does cognitive processing therapy last?
CPT is a short-term therapy. Whether conducted one-on-one or in a group, a complete set of CPT sessions typically includes 12 weekly sessions, along with tasks for clients to complete at home, although this can vary depending on a client’s needs or a therapist’s particular treatment plan. Sessions typically last 60 or 90 minutes.
How effective is cognitive processing therapy?
A large body of research supports the use of CPT to treat people experiencing PTSD, finding it to be effective among different age groups, either in one-on-one therapy sessions or in a group therapy environment. Research suggests that although the initial sessions may be difficult, clients tend to begin to feel positive progress after the first few sessions, and that the benefits tend to last well after the therapy ends.
