Therapists in Nolensville, TN

Maya Angelou once said, “We delight in the beauty of the butterfly, but rarely admit the changes it has gone through to achieve that beauty.” Changes, challenges and struggles are complex and take us out of our comfort zone. Too often we find it difficult to slow down, learn from and appreciate the journey of healing. My goal is for clients to help address those challenges, complexities and struggles whether it involves concerns with attachment, behavior regulation, family dynamics, infertility, parenting, racial identity or trauma as well as understand the meaning behind the behavior.

I love to work with women over 40 who need support in life. Maybe you feel anxious, maybe feel some depression, and/or needing someone to listen. I can hold space for you and help you process life. Let's set some goals and identify the steps to achieve them. I will provide accountability and support. I was a single parent. I did not know what I wanted to do for my career until I was 42 at which time I began a graduate program in social work. All of this while working a full time job. My son graduated high school the same month I graduated grad school. I have a picture of both of us in our caps and gowns. Women are very strong.

As a therapist, I admire the courage of individuals stepping into the counseling office. It is my hope that clients find counseling both a safe and comfortable place to share what is important to them. Generally, people seek counseling hoping to find support toward the goal improving the quality of life. It is my hope that together, we can accomplish that goal.

As a licensed MFT and Certified Clinical Trauma Professional, my passion is offering compassionate and loving psychotherapeutic services to women recovering from childhood abuse and trauma. As a survivor, you may find yourself struggling with various challenges common to someone with a history of trauma, such as codependency, subtle forms of addiction, low self esteem, low self confidence, and estrangement from family and even from yourself. I’m here to help. With my personal experience as a survivor, and 20 years experience in professionally helping others, we can navigate your ongoing recovery and growth together.

I am honored to work with individuals, and couples in an emotionally safe, caring, and confidential environment where trust and authentic communication are experienced. I am privileged to walk with clients on their journey if they are seeking to explore solutions to a specific concern of life, or of if they have a desire to move past the "state of survival" or complacency to "living fully" and experience life as we are designed to live. I am available weekdays and occassionally on weekends. For more information, go to my website: www.rucounseling.com

I tend towards a systemic approach in my therapeutic practice. This means I believe we all come from, and are consistently a part of, some sort of system. Ex: marriage/family, identity/community, work/professional, etc. I believe when there is a breakdown in one of our systems; we tend to struggle. We will identify where you're struggling & develop a plan to create a better version of yourself, your relationships, and ultimately a better life. *Please read third paragraph for questions & booking info.

I work best with motivated adults and teens struggling with relationships, depression, anxiety, trauma, grief and/or life transitions. I help you increase your connection, clarity, meaning and happiness by offering hope and affirmative counseling tailored to your personal/cultural perspective. Clients of any culture, race, religion, socio-economic status or sexual orientation are welcome in my office.

My passion is helping hurting people. I consider it a true honor to walk alongside hurting people as they face relationship difficulties, life transitions, grief, depression, anxiety, trauma, addiction and other life challenges.

I became a therapist because of my own struggles with anxiety and depression. I know first hand what it is like to feel trapped and alone, and I want to help others to overcome these issues. I love getting to be a part of a person's healing journey.

Are you feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or like you are not living from your whole self? Often life can get overwhelming, and we can feel stuck. My passion is walking alongside of teens and adults as we sort through life changes, depression, anxiety, old wounds, or discovering your identity to find healing and clarity. I strive to create a safe, non judgmental environment and treat each client with respect and understanding.

SATURDAY hours available & Video sessions! I have been practicing psychotherapy in diverse settings for 13 years.

As a psychologist, I have the opportunity to help people understand and navigate very difficult situations.

By reading between the lines and exploring the complexity of physical and mental health we are able to finally resolve long-standing concerns.

NOTE: Email is the quickest way to reach me. If you call, please leave a name. Are you going through something that others do not seem to get or understand? Does a loss seem to be affecting you far more than the "normal stages" of grief? Perhaps you find that you cannot get past certain images in your mind of a moment in your life. Time and time again you are not able to find relief. On top of that, others do not seem to understand why you are affected so deeply. You struggle to communicate the thoughts and feelings that consume you.

I've worked with folks from a variety of ages, backgrounds, and presenting issues. One common experience that I've found brings people to therapy is often a feeling that your life is in some way not aligned with what you would like it to be or how you see yourself living it. You might be looking for a confidence boost or to make some meaningful changes in your life. I've worked with veterans, LGBTQ+ individuals, trauma survivors, and more to identify coping skills, perspective shifts, and goals to start moving forward in your life.

Do you find yourself exhausted as you try to navigate day to day life experiences perfectly? Or engaging in unhealthy coping skills to make it through the day? Or withdrawing from people you care about because you don’t feel connected? All the while trying to silence that inner voice that whispers-or yells-’not enough’? You may not know where these feelings come from or when you felt differently. You do know that you're ready for some relief. You're ready to gain a better understanding of yourself, be able to more skillfully engage in relationships, to practice healthy self-care, and ultimately interact graciously with yourself.

One of my very favorite quotes by Brene Brown is, "Vulnerability sounds like truth and feels like courage. Truth and courage aren't always comfortable, but they are never weakness." As life will sometimes present challenges that may be difficult to navigate, it's not necessary to navigate those challenges alone. I would love to support you in discovering the courage to navigate your truth. As a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional, I offer treatment that is goal oriented using a variety of therapeutic approaches.
