You have managed or contained life's challenges until it doesn't work anymore. The experiences of the past do not have to interfere with your joy in the present or future. My goal is to create a safe place for you to explore, learn, and create a new way of being in relationships and the world. I specialize in working with individuals and families that have been impacted by traumatic experiences, complex grief, attachment and relationship ruptures. Loss often involves trauma and trauma always involves grief. I am certified in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy.

Hello, and thanks for visiting! I take an integrative, holistic approach to therapy and consider all aspects of your health - mind, body, and spirit - in our work together. We don't need fixing; we need healing. I believe symptoms are messengers trying to take us inside to the places that need attention and compassion. I'll help you identify realistic therapy goals and gently encourage and assist you as you make the (often difficult) changes necessary to achieve them through psychoeducation, holistic interventions, and most importantly, a safe and supportive therapeutic relationship.

In this high-achieving, fast-paced world, you may find yourself struggling with anxiety, burnout, and perfectionism. You might feel like finding balance in life is an impossible goal. Maybe your friends see you as someone who has it all together, but you feel like you're drowning in expectations and overwhelm. While our brains are so adaptive, sometimes we need to partner with someone who sees our struggle underneath the facade. If this sounds like you, I would love to help!

You're constantly in the spotlight, struggling with loneliness despite your success, and fighting impostor syndrome amidst the relentless pressure to excel. Unresolved traumas and internal conflicts shadow your achievements, leaving you overwhelmed, stressed, and battling recurring fears of inadequacy. You've tried therapy and self-help but didn't get positive results. You crave tailored guidance that understands the weight of your past, the demands of your present, and the uncertainty of your future, to find solid boundaries and peace of mind. You seek clarity, real results, meaningful progress, and tailored guidance.

I specialize in working with the emotional internalizers of the world. Do you self-isolate? Not return text messages or calls when life gets hard? Stuffing down your feelings and wants? Avoiding conflict? Self-sabotaging? Maybe intimacy is hard for you, especially if you're a survivor of sexual trauma. You want desperately to change but aren’t sure how. Trauma (especially from dysfunctional childhoods) convinces us that we’re an anomaly, not worth loving. It feels like everyone has it “together” except you. I get it, I’ve been there. The truth is, you’re not alone. Let's help YOU get what YOU what from life, relationships, and work.

Are you or your child struggling with feeling anxious, worried, or overwhelmed? Are you or your child having a hard time feeling motivated or finding joy in your daily life? Have you or your child experienced a major life stressor or change? I'm here to help. I work with children, teens, and young adults who are struggling with anxiety, OCD, depression, and stressful life events and transitions using an evidence-based, collaborative approach to therapy.

Not currently accepting new clients. I help people recover from people-pleasing, perfectionism, and other ways of coping with that uneasy feeling of insecurity in relationships. I know how it feels to feel like you’re holding up the sky and that you must earn your place in someone’s life. And I know how it feels to learn how to let go and say, “no more” and go about creating the life you want, not the one you feel you have to do.

I am a daughter of Lao refugees, born and raised in Tennessee. I love working with clients who are wanting to process through their trauma, in the midst of life transitions, experiencing anxiety and/or depression, and wrestling with aspects of their identity. Throughout life, I have learned that every human has a unique story; having a longing to be understood, accepted, and seen and continue to learn the importance of understanding all the different parts that make up my clients’ lives. It’s my desire that I create a safe space for you to bring and be all of who you are on your unique journey of healing and discovery.

I understand what it takes to make that first step towards talking with someone. I want to support your courage and your journey towards health. Whether you are seeking help with a specific issue or needing to gain insight and talk though a certain thought or situation, I am focused on creating a safe and trusting environment for clients to talk and explore.

(I am currently accepting new clients!) If you find yourself here because you're feeling overwhelmed, lost, and unsure how to move forward in life, you've made it to the right place. Congrats on starting your journey to healing, I am already so proud of you! I am here to help you work through the anxiety that keeps you from recognizing your potential, the trauma that keeps you feeling stuck in the past, and any attachment wounds that keep you from forming deep and meaningful connections. If any of these have resonated with you, then let's get started working towards the life you desire.

Being a human is hard. Reaching out is hard. Needing a safe and accepting space with a compassionate person who will walk with you on your journey is a basic need of every human. I work with adults with issues such as depression, anxiety, Bipolar Disorder, mood disorders, self-esteem, life transitions, and stress. Working with women's issues, LGBTQ+, infertility and creating families through IVF/donors/other non-traditional routes, and supporting families of those with mental illness are also passions of mine.

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.

Telehealth sessions (9am-3pm on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday) and limited in-person sessions on Monday and Thursday. Are you struggling with symptoms such as anxiety, depression, sleeplessness, or just having a hard time managing general life stress? Are you feeling "stuck" and having a difficult time pushing your own comfort zone? Are you seeking greater change for yourself? We can work together to identify your needs and create a plan to manage stress, and accomplish your goals! I can safely help you to push your comfort zone, while challenging barriers and learning new ways to cope with your unique stressors.

I truly believe that each client is the absolute expert on themselves and strive always to create space for clients to feel, be, and show up as their authentic selves. My approach is relational, casual, sex positive, and gender affirming. I take a systems approach to appreciating all the different factors that make up you and your unique experiences in the world. I specialize in complex trauma, and love to work with folks within the LGBTQIA2S+ community, folks struggling to navigate overwhelming emotions, folks struggling with boundary setting, and folks looking to explore and truly find love and compassion for themselves.

Welcome! I am proud of you for taking the first step in reaching out for help. I would be honored to hear your story and walk along side you in your healing journey. With over 15 years of experience in the mental health field, I have a variety of tools and knowledge to turn to in order to help assist you with overcoming whatever obstacles you feel are in your way. I am here to help you put all the pieces back together, and get you to the place you deserve to be.

Are you wondering why you're struggling now after you've been handling things well for a long time? If so, you are not alone and I have helped many in similar situations. When you are dealing with anxiety, difficult relationships, and/or pain from your past I am able to create a safe space to foster healing.

You do not have to live the way you’ve always lived. The suffering does not have to persist. You can choose yourself. This thing called life offers unexpected obstacles that cause a course change. Therapy enables us to feel empowered to overcome our barriers. We must self-search and manage internal issues to obtain that empowered position. There is no point to a bandaid approach, so we would work on the deeper issues that cause presenting problems, like unhealthy attachments and trauma. These are the source of anxious thinking, depression, and addictions. I am EMDR trained, which helps us to address the original issues.

Sometimes we feel stuck where we are and have a hard time trying to figure out our next move. If you are having a hard time making decision or deciding what your next move will be. Make therapy your next best move in changing your life. As a Licensed Professional Counselor, I help adults with maintaining overall wellbeing, in cooperate coping skills in a healthy daily routine, recognize and understand emotions and make decisions that can change their lives through counseling. My counseling experience includes working with individuals struggling with anxiety, depression, grief and life changing events.

Throughout my life, I've formed connections with people from all walks of life, nurturing a deep appreciation for the tapestry of human connection and the beauty of our unique differences. In the moments when we experience empathy and awe within our connections, we discover the potential for growth, self-awareness, and healing, even when life presents its most challenging moments. My therapy approach is centered around you. It's about facilitating healing through relationship, making meaning through self-awareness, and finding your unique strengths to help you live authentically.
