Therapists in Tennessee

I work with men and women experiencing anxiety, attachment issues, codependency, depression, emotional regulation issues, family conflict, grief and loss, high sensitivity (HSP), life transitions, relationship problems, trauma (physical/emotional/religious), and more. I am also trained in EMDR therapy (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), a therapeutic approach that uses eye movements to reprocess traumatic events.

TELE-HEALTH AVAILABLE! Getting the right help at the right time can make all the difference. Many wait far too long to seek help with significant problems. My work as a Marriage and Family Therapist is a privilege. I am always impressed by the courage and love shown by the individuals and families that I encounter. To be invited to share in hopes, dreams, and struggles is truly a gift - one which I do not take lightly.

Are you exhausted by racing thoughts? Are you longing for space to process your emotions and thoughts without fear of judgment? Are nervous and on edge, but you don't know why? I work with individuals and groups experiencing anxiety, depression, family concerns, maternal mental health challenges, parenting challenges, grief and loss, trauma, relationship challenges, existential concerns, and life transitions.

My role is to provide unconditional positive support for you during your therapy journey. I believe therapy works best when you are active in the session and we work together to develop your goals. I will bring genuineness, compassion, and sometimes humor to my sessions.

Are anxiety and depression constant companions in your life? Do you wonder if fulfillment in life, relationships, and work are possible? It could be that your life was going quite well until an unwelcome visitor such as chronic pain, a diagnosis, loss, addiction, betrayal, or trauma showed up to stay. Or, it could be that you have rarely if ever enjoyed a sense of well-being. My greatest joy is in helping people find strength, hope, and happiness despite the darkest of life’s experiences.

It is my hope to partner with you in learning how to first be with and then move through life's painful experiences in such a way that feels authentic to you. If you have unresolved grief, trauma or other barriers to your ability to thrive, I would love to join you in opening new doors to embodied and conscious living. I enjoy working with folks from most walks of life, those with body-based concerns such as chronic illness, chronic pain or difficult to diagnose physical symptoms that may be having an impact on mental health.

You feel different than others and there’s so much going on inside. Perhaps your thoughts and emotions are just too much. The people, places and activities that may have been fulfilling and safe in the past, are now what you would prefer to avoid. Others appear happy, but that same happiness feels beyond your reach. Maybe you recognize the need for some change, but enacting change seems impossible. Are you ready for your mind and body to be at peace in this chaotic world and to find your true self again? It is possible to access the wonder and creative energy of youth and to have a new understanding of your life.

The ideal client is one ready to take responsibility for their health. They are open to looking at their issues, to reach into their pocket of resilience and to assist in developing more positive ways of coping with distress--whether that distress is related to interpersonal conflict, mood disorder, physical illness, significant loss or trauma. I believe that there is a significant relationship between a person's spiritual life and mental health. I consider myself to be a Christian therapist without citing chapter and verse. Although my office is small, my goal is to create an environment that conveys comfort and care.

Isolated? Fearful? Tired of doing it alone? It's a new day, and I can help. I adhere to the belief that nobody's story is too painful to be heard or healed-even yours. With an emphasis on empowering my clients for long-term change, I have helped hundreds of people coping with trauma, grief/loss and painful relationship patterns to achieve lasting change. I would be honored to help you too. I am the author of Trauma Intelligence and offer trauma and grief recovery workshops for organizations.

Therapy for individuals, couple, and families. There are times when life is painful and seemingly without answers, yet what seems most broken in us can be a channel for growth, even a source of strength we never knew was possible. My own healing through therapy and mindfulness meditation inspired me to pursue an MA in Integral Counseling Psychology from the California Institute of Integral Studies in San Francisco -- the first program in the world to blend Eastern philosophical and spiritual traditions with Western schools of psychology. Today, I feel honored to support others on their journey toward healing.

Are you struggling with stress or anxiety? Are you experiencing conflict in your relationships or marriage? Do you have a child that is struggling with focus, attention, or emotional regulation? Have you experienced grief, loss, or trauma? Are you uncertain about therapy because you are concerned the approach won't match your personal values? Do you wish you could find a therapist/coach that would be creative/unorthodox? I use a holistic and integrative approach to address areas of concern for families and individuals in a safe atmosphere of acceptance.

Accepting new clients. I help clients move beyond any pain or obstacles that are getting in the way of being able to participate more fully. Anxiety, depression, loss, trauma or uncertainty can intrude on life and make it much harder to be the better version of yourself. I am passionate about helping clients walk through any current challenges and resolve the past and move into the future with new possibilities and life fulfillment.

I believe that everyone can benefit from therapy at any point in time. As humans, we experience both immense joy and deep grief, pain, and trauma. Sometimes the latter overwhelms our ability to see the joy in our life or makes us feel like we are not living as we were meant to. If you keep feeling stuck no matter what you've tried to do on your own or in other therapies, that normally means there is hurt that has not been processed yet. Enter me, I'm not like a regular therapist; I'm a cool therapist. (I'm actually not cool, but I think I can be fun even when therapy isn't always the most fun). I want to help you feel unstuck.

Today, you've taken the most difficult step toward feeling better by considering professional help. Are you ready to address unhealthy behaviors that keep you from living the life you desire? Do you want to progress toward your goals? Whether you're struggling with relationships, life transitions, anxiety, or trauma I will help you uncover the root issues holding you back and support you with a plan that promotes real change in your day to day life. During this process you will begin to see that you're not alone and feelings of emptiness & isolation will diminish over time.

Sometimes life can feel overwhelming or just plain hard. Do you need someone to walk with you on your individual journey toward healing? If you struggle with affects of trauma, reactivity to difficult life events or people, relationship issues, feeling stuck, self criticism, emotional turmoil, codependency, burn out, or transition, I'd like to face it with you. Together we can look at your challenges and approach them in ways that feel right to you. It's never too late to move toward having the life you really want.

With over 25 years of experience working with individuals, couples, and families of all ages, I offer a nonjudgmental space for growth and healing. My specialties include eating disorders, body image, trauma, anxiety, depression, life transitions (college, divorce, LGBTQ+), and parent/child relationships. I use different therapy approaches such as Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT), mindfulness, compassion, as well as a non-traditional therapy called Acceptance and Integration Training (AAIT is trademarked and founded by Melanie McGhee, LCSW.).

Through a client-centered approach and an integration of the mind-body connection, I have a desire to work with those facing trauma, attachment issues, family of origin issues, anxiety, depression, codependency, and grief. When we're able to tell the truth that life is hard and ask for help, we begin to taste freedom from the bondage of life’s pains. Thank you to all my past, present, and future clients. The hard work of telling the truth and asking for help can be so very hard and you are all some of the most courageous people I know.
