A GPS is used to guide us to our destination. It gives us a route to get from the current location to the desired destination. But, the GPS does not tell us about all the obstacles we may encounter along the way or anticipate when we may get distracted and miss a turn. During your journey through life, you may be taken off your path by circumstances you did not foresee or by your own choices. As a result, you also may lose your relationship to self, others, and God.

Together, we can embark on a journey of self-discovery and healing. As a professional counselor with over 15 years of experience in the mental health field, I am dedicated to helping individuals achieve a greater level of well-being and fulfillment in their lives. Utilizing a variety of evidence-based techniques and strategies, I work collaboratively with clients to address a wide range of concerns.

WHICH COUNSELOR IS FOR ME? Well, Let us HELP YOU! We have more than 20 counselors with different gifts and specializations! And, our goal, is to work ourselves out of a job. Plain and simple. We don't want to keep you forever in therapy, we want to help you get through the CRISIS or the troubles that started you looking for help, equip you with the tools to handle challenges on your own, and send you out to live your life in a healthier direction. A healthy person is hands down, the best referral source for a counselor!

I see the person as existing in four identifiably separate ways - physically, mentally, spiritually and emotionally - yet so intricately formed into a single being. I see mental and emotional difficulties stemming from factors including past and present, genetics and environment, and a person's own ability and motivation to change. My job is to assist in your awareness of yourself in all four areas, but especially to facilitate your mental and emotional growth. No one knows you better than you. I will never be the expert on you. I would be honored to serve you through the counseling venue.

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and have been blessed to work with individuals, children and families for over the past 13 years. I am focused on improving relationships and strengthening family dynamics. I am trained to address a wide range of issues including communication breakdowns, conflict resolution, parenting challenges, job stressors, educational concerns, childhood and adult trauma and more. I work collaboratively with clients to identify underlying issues and develop practical solutions.

Life does the best it can to squeeze out every ounce of resilience we have in us. What do you do when you’ve come to the end of yourself? We aren’t wired to face the hurt, fear, and loneliness of life alone.

Do you struggle with feelings of anxiety, attachment problems or a sense of disconnection with your “old self”? Are you finding that this affects your relationships with others and your ability to function in your personal and career life? Feeling “not enough”, overwhelmed and alone can lead to a sense of discouragement that you might never overcome the pain from your past and all the problems that’s causing in your current life. It can make you wonder if you’ll ever find joy & peace. We believe that you don’t have to struggle with this alone.

We all experience events in our life that exceed our capacity to effectively cope. During those times we may need the support of a friend, or at times, a professional. Are you needing assistance to help you deal with difficulties in relationships, career, or other major decisions, the trauma of abuse, exposure to other traumatic events? Perhaps you are struggling daily with anxiety or depression or simply overwhelmed to the point of not being able to function effectively. If so, I will be glad to help.

Sometimes life can get complicated and knock us down. Most times it takes a helping hand to get out of those hard moments. I pledge to give you my very best to be a helping hand, working with you, to move forward and up through those difficult circumstances. Need a hand? Email me. Let's work together.

Are you holding it together on the outside but really struggling inside? Frustrated with trying to “self-help” yourself? Feeling overwhelmed? If anxiety, stress, relationship issues, transition, loneliness, lack of purpose and meaning or job issues are bricks you carry around making you feel heavy and hopeless, it is possible to set them down for good. My goal is to help you feel better in just one session. It is possible to have peace and joy no matter what life brings. Let's start TODAY.

I have a wide range of experience working with children, adolescents, adults and the geriatric population. I specialize in working with adolescents and young adults who are struggling with depression, anxiety, mood dysregulation, life changes and family struggles. I use CBT and DBT and I also engage clients in motivational interviewing, solution-focused practices and strength-based approaches to increase satisfied living and meaningful change.

My specialty is working with young men to support them with life's challenges. My work supports them by gaining emotional intelligence, managing relationships, taking responsibility, finding a career path and ultimately maturing into young men who can support themselves and those around them.

You’re sick and tired of feeling small, being walked all over, and not being heard. You’ve spent so much of your life focusing on what others needed from you that now you’re not sure what you need. You’re actually not even sure who you are outside of the roles you’ve used to define yourself for so long. What you are sure of, though, is that you’re ready to do things differently—to go in a direction that will make you feel content with your choices, bring more balance into your life, and help you have better relationships with your friends and family. Changing your life through therapy might not be easy, but it will be worth it.

I am a licensed counselor/coach and I help people achieve life balance and peace of mind. I help people with a wide variety of life stressors, transitions and challenges. I'll talk with you about what you'd like to get out of therapy or coaching, set goals, and individualize the best way to reach those goals.

Now accepting new clients! I am a counselor and life coach for adults, as well as an advocate working with schools on behalf of kids with special needs. I serve the communities of Franklin, Cool Springs and Brentwood TN. With an abundance of life experience, it is my hope to walk with you through life's challenges whether they be family related, relationships, marriage, career, child rearing, illness, divorce, grief or any combination of these. I also diagnose and treat ADHD, Borderline Personality Disorder, Bi-Polar, Dissociative Identity Disorder, Anxiety, Depression, and other disorders.

If you are reading this, you have taken the first step towards change, great job! I believe the therapeutic relationship should provide a safe place to explore the relationship to self. While doing this, you can embrace, challenge, process, and reflect on your thoughts and feelings. We can work together to understand and move past stressors from life transitions, relationships, low self-esteem, anxiety, depression, and trauma. Much of my experience has been counseling with active-duty military, veterans, their families, and first responders, helping them cope with the unique cultural stressors that arise with these roles.

Are you motivated to feel better at work, home, or school but do not know how? Are you at lunch googling Anxiety, Depression, ADHD, Couples Counseling, Divorce, or a new job? Is adulting too hard? I am a clinician with 25 years of experience providing an array of mental health services. I have a background working for large healthcare systems where I provided direct client care, managed teams, trained clinicians in emergency rooms, medical settings, and behavioral health clinics giving me a unique perspective on how to support a wide variety of symptoms. I believe that everyone is capable of healing.
