I am a licensed marriage and family therapist and I am also a certified hypnotherapist, certified yoga teacher, Reiki master, and ordained minister.
I help individuals who may feel disconnected from their true selves, showing up as depression, anxiety, or a feeling of being unfulfilled. I help clients come back home to themselves, to their own dreams for their lives, to their own values, to their own feelings, and to their most aligned path for their relationships, careers, physical health, and joy. Clients usually experience very quick transformations with this work and express a feeling of internal wholeness and peace, as well as clarity about their way forward. One of the most common words clients use with this work is "life-changing"!

I work with a wide range of problems including, trauma, PTSD, attachment issues, depression, anxiety, marital/relationship issues, life & transition issues & addictions/recovery.
At the core of everything I do in therapy is the belief that true healing happens through empowerment and love, not fear. Therapy encompasses a bit of art, science, intuition, and loving kindness. What works in therapy is a real person connecting to a real person and I believe the best therapists are those who show you where to look, but don't tell you what to see. My approach is based on a model of healing and empowerment to help you reconnect with that whole, thoughtful, creative, fearless human being you are and to trust your inner wisdom.

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in the state of Tennessee.
Two values I strive for in the therapy room are understanding and security. When you walk through my door, I want you to feel the kind of safety that allows you to get cozy on the sofa and take a deep breath before diving into what matters most to you. Throughout the process, my hope is that all parts of you - those you love and know well and those that you struggle with or push away in your daily life - feel welcome, seen, appreciated, and understood. My clients are primarily adult individuals who hope to find healing and connection within themselves and with others.

Family, friends, marriage and most importantly yourself.
I focus on communication and how to improve it not only with others, but the communication you have with yourself. I emphasize controlling what you can control in a relationship and not to take on burdens that are not yours to carry. I can help you in your relationships so you can thrive and overcome life's challenges.

In my individual practice I enjoy helping individuals with Men's issues, marital struggles, ADHD, Depression, Anxiety, and Self-esteem.
There exists a stigma surrounding men seeking counseling. My goal is to simplify the process of entering counseling. I take pleasure in aiding men to discover healing or purpose in their lives. However, my services are not exclusive to men; women can also benefit from a male counselor. My approach centers on person-centered therapy, family systems, and CBT.

I hold bachelor's degrees in English literature and Journalism and received my master's degree in Marriage and Family Therapy from Trevecca Nazarene University in 2009.
I believe we are relational creatures designed to live in intimate relationship with God, Self, and Others and attention must be given to all three areas in order to experience deep transformation. My desire is to walk with clients toward health by exploring their story to uncover the themes, shaping beliefs, and coping strategies that keep us from living fully. Since relational healing takes place in relationship, I strive to create a safe place for my clients to process, grow, be challenged, make personal and relational discoveries, and move toward healing, wholeness, and freedom.

As a licensed marriage & family therapist, I believe in therapy for the whole person to include mind, body, spirit.
For children, play is their primary language. When we integrate the child's five senses through play, we begin to see parts of the internal self through the thoughts, feelings, and actions in the play therapy room.

I am also trained in Relational Life Therapy, a couples' therapy created by Terry Real (author of "The New Rules of Marriage").
"The Wound is the Place Where the Light Enters You." ~ Rumi~ In one way or another, our souls have been bruised. Depression, anxiety, divorce/relationship issues, trauma, family crisis, & many other issues can slowly chip away at our self-worth, our sense of belonging, our hope. Do you seek a true, raw connection with yourself & others? Are you tired of fighting the "uphill battle" & seek peace in your life? I have no magic wand. I cannot make troubles disappear. I can, however, walk with you & give you the tools to find inner peace & love in the midst of chaos.

I am passionate about working with couples (dating, pre- marital, married) and families (parenting issues).
Let's be honest, relationships are hard work! Therapy takes intentional effort, vulnerability and persistence to bring about meaningful change in our lives. Before that change can occur, we must first learn what is going on. I want to help you identify the negative patterns in your life and provide tools to replace them with new life-giving actions and transforming truths to bring about healing and restoration in your relationships. Change is possible!

Connected to Lipscomb University's Master's of Marriage and Family Therapy program (the only COAMFTE accredited program in Nashville), we provide high quality mental health care.
Have harmful events in religious settings left you unsure of what to believe in? Is faith a source of pain and trauma? You don't have to walk this path alone! I seek to work collaboratively with clients to help them learn new and healthier ways of relating to those around them and gain a greater ability to treat themselves and others with compassion. It takes courage to step into the therapy room; I work to provide a disarming space for clients. My curiosity guides me as I get to know people for who they are and help clients learn to think, feel, and act in new productive ways in order for them to become the people they hope to be.

As a lover of stories, it would be an honor to hear yours. While I believe we should each be the author of our own story, so much of life can get confused by the stories others are telling us about ourselves. Using a holistic approach supported by evidenced-based practices including Restoration Therapy, Narrative Therapy, and IFS, I work to create a nonjudgmental and safe space that allows clients to re-author their story and live their lives in a way that encourages them to be happy in their own way.

Marriage Counseling Therapists
How does marriage counseling work?
Marriage counseling works by teaching couples concrete skills to communicate with one another and solve disagreements in healthy ways. A trained mental health professional works with both members of a couple to explore difficulties the couple may be having and helps them develop skills to address these matters. Couples who don’t have any difficulties but want to prepare for marriage may develop skills for the future.
How long does marriage counseling typically last?
Marriage counseling is a short-term form of therapy; the process may last between four and eight sessions. Other forms of relationship guidance from mental health professionals, such as couples therapy, are longer lasting, may focus on the past rather than just the present, and are tailored to the individual couple and their emotions, history, and patterns in the relationship. Couples therapy often lasts for 12 weeks or longer.
Is marriage counseling effective?
Marriage counseling helps many couples develop relationship skills that may not have been acquired or tested in a relationship; partners may be better able to communicate and address conflict following counseling. However, there are many different forms of marriage counseling, and this form of counseling does not have as strong an evidence base as other modalities such as couples therapy.
Is marriage counseling effective if only one partner wants to go?
Yes, marriage counseling can still be effective if one partner convinces the other to engage in the process. Of course, whether counseling is effective depends on the couple’s commitment to work on their relationship; however, the short-term, skills-based nature of marriage counseling makes it a relatively easy “ask” of a partner, and the hesitant individual may see its value once counseling begins.
