Why Play Therapy? This is a frequently asked question. I believe that through play, children express themselves in their own developmentally appropriate way. Through play and other expressive therapies, children can resolve problems, cope with difficult emotions,improve cognitive development and help resolve inner conflicts. Although I work mainly with children, my education and training also allow me the opportunity to work with adults on certain issues.

I see the counseling process as a path towards healing and hopefulness. I offer virtual counseling sessions for clients in the state of Tennessee. I work well with clients who are developing coping skills, working through trauma, and experiencing anxiety, stress, depression. I believe that counseling should be used as an early intervention to help support people who are struggling with their emotional and mental wellness. If we utilize counseling throughout our lifetime and during times of either difficulty, trauma, grief, and relationship challenges it can increase our quailty of life and enhance our wellbeing.

Skilled in relationship counseling that reaches family, school and personal issues, I would like the opportunity to talk with you more about how my training and experience can assist you or your family. When you can't look on the bright side, I will sit with you in the dark. Life is difficult. Sometimes we need the help of others who have walked through difficult things themselves and have walked this journey with others.

Stressed? Tired? Can’t seem to get ahead? Don't like yourself? Finding that sense of security and strength in the midst of changes, challenges, and relationships is difficult, and some feel that taking time to stop and reflect is impossible; yet often it is one of the most important steps in moving forward or getting unstuck. Stopping and working with a trained therapist can help facilitate change in meaningful and impactful ways. It can also help avoid a complete life derailment. I believe that the work I do with my clients is sacred, which is why I employee some of the most up to date and clinically validated treatment techniques.

You have found the courage to begin, and you want someone to walk with you. Maybe you are tired of feeling the crushing weight of anxiety or depression. Maybe you are the parent of a child with special needs, and you don't know what to do next, but you know you need to do something. Maybe you are finally admitting to yourself the truth about your sexuality, spirituality, or situation, and you are ready to grow into the person you are meant to be. I would be honored to join you on your journey.

Welcome! Getting started in therapy can be scary, confusing, overwhelming, and so challenging. Whether this is the first or one hundredth page you've looked at, I think it is brave and remarkable that you are trying and I am honored that you are here. My primary goal as a therapist is to be a safe space for whatever my clients need; whether learning coping skills for anxiety, processing trauma, untangling identity, exploring faith, or something else entirely, I seek to provide a safe landing ground to do the hard work that is too big or scary to do alone or unsafe to do with others.

Are you experiencing a great life transition in the perinatal period? This period includes the time spent preconception, pregnancy, and up to 1 year postpartum for all members of the family. I am confident we can identify and relieve the pressures from an overwhelming and complex season. This unique time brings highs and lows unlike any other. Perinatal Mood Disorder (PMAD) can resemble depression, anxiety, OCD or intrusive thoughts and specialized support is necessary for a smooth recovery. I specialize in PMAD treatments with a perinatal mental health certification from Postpartum Support International (PHM-C).

Whether you are a new mother, working mom of three, a teenager striking out socially, a single man struggling with failed relationships, an "empty nester" trying to figure out what comes next or you are facing challenges with your partner, things can seem just so hard. The stresses and strains of life sometimes overwhelm our ability to cope. That is when counseling can provide restorative benefits.

You don't feel safe or confident that your baby is okay and you're doubting yourself. Of course, hormones are raging, but are all these feelings normal? You may be feeling helpless, scared, or grieving the freedom you had before becoming a parent. You have a constant voice asking you if you really are good enough and reminding you that everyone’s judging you for every decision you make as a parent. Perhaps you envisioned your birth to be a beautiful beginning to your baby's life, and are now wondering how this could have happened? People say "at least you're okay and the baby is safe," but it's not that comforting.

If you’re dealing with the effects of trauma, life can be so challenging. You may struggle with overreacting to everyday situations, negative thoughts or emotions about yourself or others, fear of intimacy, nightmares or flashbacks, or physical symptoms. Any kind of trauma—emotional, spiritual, physical, sexual—can severely impact your ability to feel safe and live well. In addition to working with individuals with trauma, I also work with couples on a wide range of issues - from communication skills to betrayal recovery. For both individuals and couples, I work with adults, age 21 and up.

I believe the role of a counselor is to help you integrate your experiences— both joy-filled and painful, expected and unforeseen— into an understanding of yourself as someone worthy of love and capable of meaningful action in your world. Whatever you are experiencing, I hope to help you see and relate to yourself from a place of acceptance and genuine care, believing that these two things lay the groundwork for all kinds of change. I particularly enjoy working with those who would describe themselves as caretakers, perfectionists, people-pleasers, creatives, third culture kids, and/or people of faith.

Even in our first session, you will have an understanding of your own cycle that prevents communication. While Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy can be intense work, couples everywhere are finding real change that happens through EFT.

If you feel weighed down by overwhelming emotions and life events, an empathetic ear can be a source of healing. I am passionate about working toward hope with those who feel stuck, broken, isolated, or for whom change seems impossible. I advocate for and teach clients the power of fierce self-compassion, which allows them to explore their thoughts, emotions, and actions more clearly. I work with adolescents, adults, and couples navigating anxiety, depression, life transitions, grief, loss, trauma, chronic health issues, marital and parental challenges, spiritual wounds, disordered eating, and addictions.

Female Therapists

Does it matter what gender my therapist is?

In general, this is not an important factor, as there is no relationship between a therapist’s gender and their efficacy. Some clients, however, prefer to see therapists of a particular gender, whether due to their own past experiences with men and women, or ingrained beliefs about how people of different genders think and behave. Exploring the roots of such preferences and considering what one wants to address in therapy can help someone determine whether their therapist’s gender truly matters to them.

Should I see a female therapist?

Many people—not just women—prefer to see a female therapist, either because they believe that a woman will be able to relate to their specific challenges (for example, sexism in the workplace) or because they imagine feeling more comfortable disclosing sensitive information to a woman. Such beliefs may not turn out to be accurate, however, and adhering too rigidly to a gender preference can at times hinder a client from finding the best therapeutic match.

Do therapists get specific training to help with women’s concerns?

Therapists are trained to provide care to clients of any gender. However, some therapists—both men and women—may pursue additional training in feminist therapy, gender-specific issues, or women’s mental health. Female clients may wish to ask prospective therapists whether they have received specific training in the client’s primary area(s) of concern, or whether they have worked extensively with women on issues similar to their own.

How can I inquire about a therapist’s experience in treating women?

It’s OK—even encouraged!—to ask a therapist directly whether and how often they have treated women in the past, or whether they have treated women dealing with the client’s most prominent concern(s). Competent therapists will be happy to share their educational background, preferred treatment modalities, and prior client experience to help an individual find the therapist best suited to their needs.
