I currently offer sessions in-person on Tues/Wed and virtual on Mon/Thurs.
Instead of being taught how to cope skillfully with painful experiences and feelings, many of us are taught to numb, hide, or ignore them. This often intensifies the suffering, and also is often the only thing we know. I provide a safe space where clients can express, process, and learn about their thoughts, feelings, and emotions without judgment. I help clients to develop more workable coping skills and habits so that they can move toward their goals and live in alignment with identified values. If "being positive" hasn't worked for you, you may be in the right place.

I work with couples and individuals to heal, evolve, and thrive.

Because of life experience as well as extensive training, I can offer practical tools that can help you find relief that can last long after you leave my office.

The world we live in is full of opportunities to disconnect, avoid emotions, and escape reality. I believe that healing is often found through connection to people around us, connection to nature, and the ability to sit with both comfortable and uncomfortable emotions. In therapy, I work to create an authentic, non- judgmental, welcoming, and trustworthy environment through which healing and growth may occur. I believe that the therapeutic relationship is crucial to the success of counseling, and place great importance on it.

We're all works in progress. I believe in your ability to progress toward a freer self. The clients who begin work with me aren't free--they are constrained in a number of ways: depression, anxiety, disordered eating, low self-esteem, fear of intimacy, or impulsive behaviors. I see my work with you as helping you find the way back to your true self, where feelings, thoughts, desires, and hopes are revealed and honored, instead of tyrannized and discounted, sometimes by your own self.

I've been in private practice for over 20 years and enjoy diversity in my office. My approach is really dependent on my clients unique needs. I would describe myself as caring and direct and have been told by my clients that my challenges to them are as beneficial as my empathy; I'm always striving for the fine balance. My hope is to sit with people in a focused, loving and generative way, helping my clients move towards a deeper sense of vitality, self-awareness and authenticity.

I believe we want to live the life we have always known was ours; the life of our soul. It can be hard to do because we are human and live in an imperfect world. It's easy to lose ourselves in this process as we try to meet the expectations imposed on us by others. I provide a comfortable place where you can feel free to be your real, authentic self and experience a more clear connection to your life's purpose. I enjoy assisting you as you nurture your body, mind and spirit in order to become more whole.

I see clients in-person and virtually Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Fridays in Nashville and Thursdays in Murfreesboro.
Growing up with a multicultural and bilingual upbringing, I’ve experienced firsthand how our cultures, personal histories, and the challenges we face influence how we navigate relationships and the world. The way we relate to others is often deeply shaped by where we come from and the wounds we've carried, and it’s this complexity that fuels my passion for working with people on their journey of healing and self-discovery.
