EMDR Therapists in Knoxville, TN

Looking inward can be scary, which is why it is done as a team of both the client and therapist, working toward your identified goals. Here you learn how to help yourself. Striking consistentcy and balance in life is often difficult when the pattern has been alternating between extremes. This can change.

Imagine feeling whole and integrated in your emotions, relationships, and faith. You might be dealing with problems in your relationships with your spouse, family, or friends. You may say “I don’t deal well with emotions” or struggle to set healthy boundaries. Maybe you feel stuck from past experiences, trauma, or negative beliefs you just can't move past. After a recent life change or relationship issue, such as a difficult marriage, motherhood, or divorce, you may feel like you don’t know who you are any more. Let's find YOU again. If you're struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, or relationships, I am here to help.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC-MHSP) in the State of Tennessee, and am a National Board-Certified Counselor (NCC). I have worked with clients of all ages in a variety of settings and currently see clients ages 8 and up. My approach to counseling is client-centered and is tailored to the needs of each individual client, drawing on my knowledge and training in different modalities, including play therapy, art therapy, CBT, ACT and EMDR. When I am not working, I enjoy a rare quiet night at home with my family, but I spend most of my time these days driving one of my kids to their many events.

My clients often are experiencing a life that feels without meaning and control. A life that is filled with chronic stress. This stress results from conflict in our relationships and multiple roles in life. At other times,this stress is residue from unresolved life events that have depleted the ability to see through a lens of love. Life then naturally becomes driven by fear. If you are seeking to learn a way to create a life that feels worth living, despite any circumstance. I can teach you the way. The majority of my clients are experiencing anxiety, anger and depression in their daily life.

Having a supportive, safe, therapeutic place for you is empowering. Help is available for all types of issues using evidence based practices through a clinical perspective by a highly trained, educated, compassionate, and empathic therapist.

Life can be stressful, and even oftentimes overwhelming. Stressors and trauma can impact our lives in many ways, negatively contributing to our physical and emotional health. I believe the mind has the innate capacity to heal. Therapy can provide the key to unlocking our own power to make positive changes, improving how we respond to life's challenges. The process of change and emotional growth is one that starts with the initial step of reaching out. Therapy can provide a safe, confidential, judgement free environment to explore how to manage stress and live life fully.

Immediate Openings Available! Taking the first step to engage in therapy is a big step and I'm so happy you have considered me as a possible companion on this journey. Whether you are new to the process of therapy or coming back , it can be hard to find a therapist that is right for you. Most often, I work with young and emerging adults as they are moving away from home, launching into new careers, and starting their own families. This is an exciting and challenging time in life, which can bring about a host of difficulties, including anxiety, depression, identity formation concerns, trauma, shame, and much more.

Have you reached a point in your life where you've done all the "right" things, but things just don't feel quite "right?" Our brains are doing the best they can to help us have the lives we want, but that sweet little organ is often misguided. Our brains are wired to help us survive what we've been through, but what happens when it's over? The brain doesn't just snap back to where it was before, or sigh and say, "Ahhhh, now we can relax!" Your brain needs help to rewire and heal. When your brain heals from the trauma you've been through, you're able to come home to yourself and access all that you are and all that you can be.

I have been in professional psychological practice since 1979, been married many years, raised 2 children and shared in raising 3 step-children, so I have many years of clinical and personal experience on which to draw. However, I am always learning and growing, and enjoy sharing the journey of self-discovery with my clients/patients. I tailor my psychological treatment with individuals (adults, adolescents, and children), couples, and families to each person's unique situation. I utilize a variety of different treatment approaches, depending on the problems presented, ranging from cognitive-behavioral, insight, family systems, to supportive reality therapy.

I understand reaching out for help takes courage and bravery. In my practice, I hope to create a safe and empathetic space for all struggling with life’s challenges. I am passionate about helping clients reach balance in life after difficult events. I have 7 years experience providing therapy to adults and children who have experienced traumatic experiences.

You’ve reached the point in your where you know that you need something else but what? There are so many paths to healing that it’s overwhelming  You know that inner healing is essential, but the mindfulness apps and counting to ten aren’t addressing the issues as promised by the experts on podcasts. You want to uncover the root of the big emotions within. You know the things that have helped in the past but just coping isn’t enough.

Are you ready to connect with a counselor who can assist you with what you need? Are you looking to be understood while sorting through life difficulties you or your family are facing?

I work with clients who are struggling with sexually compulsive and addictive behaviors including compulsive porn use, infidelity, sexual aversions, and other problematic behaviors. I offer a non-judgmental, empirically-based approach to help work through and resolve behaviors. If you have any questions about whether or not a compulsion or addiction is present, I would be happy to assess those behaviors and provide recommendations.

I have always been interested in understanding the world from other people's points of view. I view my job as a therapist is to understand your story and how your worldview informs the way you react to life stressors. My goal is to help you utilize your own strengths and insight to feel calm, centered, and content in a world that often isn't. I enjoy working with adults of all ages and the LGBTQ/alternative lifestyle community.
