Cancer Therapists in Nashville, TN

Sometimes life gives you more than you can manage and you need someone to talk to who can really listen without judgement, can empathize and give you the right tools to help you work your way through a crisis. I want to be that person for you. Whether you are going through a personal crisis, divorce/marital problems, you're single in dead-end relationships, you're a caregiver to a special needs child or dying elderly parent, a teen who feels misunderstood, or you are having career problems - we will walk through your journey together and create a healthier you.

My background is very unique. At first glance, I look like a relatively "normal" person but my life has taken me down some truly unexpected paths. The most pertinent being that I live with a rare genetic disease and lost several important organs as a young man. Subsequently, I have dealt with many physical and emotional difficulties as a result of this impediment. I say this not to evoke pity but to explain where my deep sense of empathy and understanding stem from. Because I have felt the depths of suffering that many other people carry, I know that with proper guidance, care and fortitude, there is always hope and possibility.

My desire is to offer hope and healing for you and your relationships by honoring your story, helping you discover places you are stuck, and walking along side you in your journey to healing. I see individuals, couples, and families, providing a safe place to explore hurt and pain on your path to wholeness and peace. I am trained in EFT (Emotionally Focused Therapy) and implement attachment-based therapy in my practice. Serving as a nurse for 30 years allowed me to sit with people through some of their darkest moments, while providing encouragement and hope.

So you want something to change? What's standing in your way? Maybe you have experienced trauma or loss, or you find yourself in relationships that cost you more than you get in return. Maybe your partner, family, or child is struggling and you are looking for a way to help without getting lost yourself? Therapy can help you discover new truths about your situation, bringing you clarity and direction. With over 10 years in the mental health community, I have seen people find new hope and healing through the introspective and transforming work of therapy, all in pursuit of a life that is deeply satisfying.

Exhausted. Overwhelmed. Depleted. Do you feel like the world is slowly crushing in on you, as you attempt to process a recent loss, a life changing diagnosis, or accumulating life transitions? Whether fresh or prolonged in time, it still feels raw and vulnerable, and it's hard to imagine a time without this. You feel isolated, and as if you can't relate to others around you. You crave normalcy during this time of chaos. You want to feel whole again. You want to feel understood and relatable to others. Most of all, you want the simplicity of life that you once had.

I'm passionate about partnering and walking alongside others in their most difficult moments to bring a renewed sense of hope and healing.

I see this relationship as the foundation my clients and I will build on to move towards progress and transformation. My clinical interests include depression, anxiety, grief, addiction, trauma, sexuality, boundaries, spirituality, and life-transitions.

My clients are sensitive, resilient, creative people who are feeling stuck, tired, hurt, or struggling with negative body-image and low self-esteem. I help them process negative core beliefs so they can reconnect with themselves and others.
