EMDR Therapists in Franklin, TN

I work with clients who have mental health concerns (anxiety, depression, PTSD, substance use concerns, etc) family concerns/relationship concerns, loss/grief concerns, and transition/adjustment concerns.

My passion is working with adult women, so much so it’s all I see in my practice! That’s right only women, 18 years and older. The reason I’m so passionate about working with adult women is because of the issues they face and the unique ways those issues look in a woman’s life. I bring over 10 years’ experience working directly with women and their emotional difficulties including trauma, grief, depression, anxiety, relational issues and codependency, work/life balance, body image, and more.

Therapy is a place to slow down, explore who you are, get unstuck, and engage in the important work of improving your relationships with yourself and others. I am genuinely and deeply interested in you- what experiences have shaped you, how you view the world, yourself and those around you. You and I will explore what is working well for you and what isn't, and will work together to move you toward a life of greater peace, congruency, connection and authenticity. My goal as a therapist is to create a space where you feel safe and fully seen for who have been and who you are today, and who you can be in the future.

Tailored therapy is like a well fitted suit. My favorite pastime is sewing and I carefully consider an individual's personality, attributes, and preferences when constructing a garment they feel great in. Similarly, I tailor my approach to therapy to create a plan that draws upon each client's unique strengths. My therapeutic approach is science informed; yet, mindfully curated to bring physical, mental, spiritual, and social well-being into alignment. I believe therapy is more than just what’s in the textbooks— it’s about the human connection, the healing arts, and the creative process of self-discovery. It is my craft.

The ups and downs of life can be tough for us all. We strive every day to find a little more light, however, sometimes just as we are starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel, an unexpected new challenge falls in our path. This can feel as if there is no way out. Counseling offers an avenue to work together to brighten this path. The experiences in our past impact the way we live our life today, how we cope with these challenges, and how we see our future. Finding the insight, self-knowledge and inner strength for better coping with our depression, anxiety, or uncertainty is the key to living our most fulfilling lives.

Shame, anger, loneliness, grief are painful emotions. Maybe your close relationships are not as healthy as you would like, feeling unseen, misunderstood and maybe resentful.

Change starts with talking about your concerns and being validated in our experiences while identifying challenges that have you feeling stuck. Let's talk about those problematic issues or emotional wounds together to journey through to a healthier place of confident in communication, values, and boundaries.
