About me

Hello! I applaud you for your courage in taking this step to receive the help you desire to address your concerns. I am here to support you in that journey to receive help, hope, and healing. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor - MHSP in the state of Tennessee with over 11 years experience working with individuals and families in various settings addressing a variety of issues including low self-esteem, abuse, trauma, codependency, ACOA issues, (adult children of alcoholics), shame, anxiety, depression, grief/loss, career, life stage issues, HSP trait, and parenting issues.

My therapeutic approach combines a compassionate, person-focused approach along with solution focused therapy, and cognitive behavioral therapy to help you set goals and pass through your difficulties into the freedom and destiny you desire. I have an emphasis in Marriage and Family therapy, and understand the importance that our families of origin play in some of our current issues. I approach family and couples therapy with a systems outlook working with couples, and families through a systemic lens using family systems therapy. I also work from a strengths-based perspective, and will provide strategies to help you overcome challenges and obstacles based on your strengths, as well as provide support, and encouragement as you pursue your goals.

I understand the importance of providing a safe space for you to heal, where you can explore new territory without judgement, and to help you find joy and peace as you reach your goals. If you are looking for a counselor that will accept you for who you are, and who will encourage you to face the obstacles that are keeping you from being all you desire to be, you have come to the right place. I look forward to working with you!

Rosemary is absolutely wonderful. She’s an excellent listener, very understanding, and asks excellent questions. She was a fantastic match for me. She’s kind, but also is direct in her questions and I appreciate that very much. I definitely recommend her!

I appreciate the way she listens and then ask the questions that lets me know she understands my situations. She guides me to think about what we've discussed and how I could resolve the circumstances. She does not tell me how to accomplish those goals but suggest ways that I might want to try. She is a true professional
