I am a licensed professional therapist currently based in Tennessee. I graduated with a Master of Arts in Marriage and Family Therapy, with a certificate in Trauma Therapy. My experience includes working with couples, families, college students, and children from age 8-teens. I provide premarital counseling, marriage therapy, sex therapy, and individual therapy. I have worked with anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, abuse, adoption issues, and adjustment disorders.
My therapy style involves understanding the client from their point of view. I work from a holistic view, believing all systems of the body; physical, emotional, psychological, and spiritual, help in the healing process. I especially love emotionally focused therapy and narrative therapy, but include other therapies such as cognitive behavioral therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, and family systems. I have been trained in EMDR and have found it can be utilized in many areas, but especially with trauma.
Before becoming a therapist I worked as an RN for 20 years, graduating with my Bachelor's degree from Baylor University. Thirteen of those years were as a hospice nurse, so end of life care and grief counseling has been a big part of my life. I incorporate my medical background in the therapy process.
I want to hear your story and look forward to working with you!

She was easy to get to know. Feel comfortable with her knowledge and "bedside" manner. Looking forward to more sessions.

I feel so blessed to work with Laverna. I was very skeptical about doing online therapy, but she has given guidance, support, correction when needed in a gentle and honest way. I don’t think I could have found a better fit anywhere else.i would highly recommend Laverna for anyone looking to work through trauma.
