"There are wounds that never show on the body that are deeper and more hurtful than anything that bleeds." – Laurell K. Hamilton. You are struggling to manage painful feelings and it is spilling into multiple areas of your life — sabotaging meaningful relationships and disrupting your work life. It is difficult to focus on a task for more than a few minutes before you are sucked into the negative thought spiral. Past experiences haunt you, driving you to use those self-destructive behaviors you thought you left behind. It is difficult to imagine a life where you are content and feel safe.

Being authentic is something that feels like a threat to others; mostly because, they are unfamiliar to the newness of you! As a Therapist, I thrive in helping YOU own your authenticity, through humor, creativity, compassion, determination and full acceptance! The acceptance of knowing and the acceptance of understanding! We transition from childhood into adulthood and sometimes these changes can be very overwhelming. You are not alone! Let me take this opportunity to officially welcome you to my page as you surf through what we can do together.

I’m a licensed clinician at Ellie Mental Health in Murfreesboro, TN. I have over a decade of experience working with adults and adolescents of all genders to support them in overcoming the struggles they face in their day-to-day lives. I enjoy working with various populations including LGBTQIA+, veterans, first responders, blended families, and other survivors on various diagnoses like depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder and substance abuse, just to name a few. I want to work together with my clients to find healthy ways of managing symptoms and triggers in order to gain new perspectives and a sense of fulfillment.

Accepting telehealth and in-person clients- It is often difficult to sort out our emotions and understand why we respond to situations the way we do. This is where counseling is so instrumental. I hope to be a gentle and guiding force in your journey of connecting with different parts of who you are to live a more integrated life. Oftentimes, the impact of early childhood experience plays a huge role in our feelings of safety and security. I believe we must go back to move forward.

Everyone struggles with challenging emotions and situational stressors at some point in their lives. I teach people about how their emotions work, how to manage that emotional energy, and how to use that emotional energy to accomplish personal goals. I work individually with older adolescents (16+) and adults struggling with anxiety or depressive symptoms, challenging life situations, or problematic views of self find a way to navigate these challenges while learning and practicing preventative coping strategies.

I have worked with teens, individuals, and families for many years. We can work together to bring your goals to life in a judgement free and confidential setting. Therapy is a great place to process emotions and navigate the many hard things in life.

I understand how life can become unmanageable and you are not able to live your best life. I have experienced and treated post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), nightmares, unwanted memories, avoidance of situations that bring back memories, heightened reactions, anxiety, depressed mood, agitation, irritability, hostility, hypervigilance, self-destructive behavior, social isolation, flashbacks, fear, severe anxiety, mistrust, loss of interest or pleasure in activities, guilt, loneliness, sleep disturbances, and emotional detachment.

The biggest reason many don't seek counseling is the fear of reliving the past. Forward facing trauma therapy proves you don't always have to go back to move forward. There is a different way. There is a better way. We start with the symptoms of the present. Then look at how trauma affects the brain and changes how we, think, feel, and behave here in the present. Learning how to fix and reset the brain while decreasing symptoms is our goal at Sessions of Serenity. Done at your pace, in a way that helps restore safety, creates calm and empowers the client. Your past does not have to continue robbing you of your future.

Life often forces us to address challenging situations. Whether you're dealing with depression, anxiety, marital conflict, or a multitude of other personal issues, there are solutions that can help. Counseling offers you a supportive environment where problem areas are explored and goals developed to help you get your life back on track. It's through this process and the therapeutic relationship that true personal growth, healing, and acceptance occurs. I embrace a genuine, compassionate approach coupled with the most effective, evidenced based interventions that are goal directed and solution focused.

Sometimes life feels hopeless. We get trapped in cycles of depression, leading us to numb our pain in unhealthy ways. It can be hard to see a way out. But if a decade of experience working in the field of recovery and a Gottman Level 2 Certification has taught us anything, it’s that transformation is possible. There IS hope. As a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, Tony has worked with thousands of people just like you, compassionately helping them identify what’s at the heart of their issues.
