Hello! I wish you well on your counseling journey. I am a licensed psychologist in the Middle Tennessee area and have been in the field of mental health for over 30 years. I see counseling as a partnership where I am a consultant. Everyone gets stuck at times. It can be very helpful to tell our stories to trusted others to work through our concerns. Family and friends can be helpful, and sometimes a trained counselor can offer unbiased, positive support. I often feel like an interviewer asking specific questions in a curious and non-accusing manner. You are the focus of my hour, and I want to learn as much about your story as I can. I also want to know where you want to take your story. Humor, curiosity, self-kindness, creativity and increased self-awareness (mindfulness) help in the process. Clients who do well are willing to entertain different perspectives of themselves and of their situations. New behaviors can be learned with practice. Sometimes what we mainly need to do is accept things we cannot change and let go of constricting beliefs and "rules" for ourselves. Sometimes our daily patterns are disconnected from our feelings and values. I try to help people gain more awareness of their feelings, life dreams and what is truly important to them. I offer systematic ways of exploring these issues and making plans to sort of knit together more coherently one's thoughts and feelings, past and present, and habits and values. We have self-healing capacities within ourselves that I try to facilitate and not get in the way of! I use strategies from cognitive-behavioral-mindfulness therapy, dialectical behavioral therapy, narrative therapy and trauma-informed therapy. Exploring our past interpersonal patterns can help us redirect our social behaviors to more satisfying relationships. Sometimes I might act more like a coach to help you spring forward from the present. I love working with ADD/ADHD clients. Dealing with my own ADD, I know intimately the challenges, struggles and even the upsides of ADD! Finding creative, ADD-informed ways to manage our space and time is something I often do with clients. Other frequent issues are depression, anxiety, social anxiety , lack of motivation, self-doubt, communication and relationship issues, sleep and weight, work issues, trauma and loss. I am also comfortable working with the LGBQ+ populations, transgender dysphoria and clients in polyamorous relationships. I look forward to meeting new clients and do not take personally decisions not to return. There are a number of reasons for client choices. Like most relationships, including work colleagues, we look for compatibility. And sometimes we glean things from one-time meetings.

Welcome! I believe therapy can be a powerful tool for real change, healing, and personal growth. My goal is to provide a supportive space where you feel heard, understood, and empowered to move forward in your life. Life can feel overwhelming at times. Whether you’re working through stress, trauma, relationship challenges, or major life transitions, you don’t have to face it alone. I work alongside my clients to help them build practical coping skills, gain insight, and rediscover the strengths they already have within them. I work with adults ages 18 and up and strive to create a safe, non-judgmental environment where you can openly explore your thoughts and emotions. I support clients facing challenges such as trauma, anxiety, low self-esteem, stress, and life changes, always focusing on helping you move toward the goals that matter most to you. My approach combines several evidence-based therapies, including EMDR, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Person-Centered Therapy. EMDR can be especially effective for processing trauma, while CBT helps identify and change unhelpful thought patterns. Person-Centered Therapy focuses on building self-awareness and personal growth. I also take a strengths-based approach, helping clients recognize their resilience and develop tools that support long-term well-being. With over 26 years of experience in the mental health field and 10 years as a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC-MHSP), I bring both professional expertise and genuine compassion to my work. My passion is helping people heal, grow, and build lives that feel meaningful and fulfilling. If you're ready to take the next step toward change, I would be honored to support you on that journey.
