Family Therapy in Murfreesboro, TN

How did you get here? Life has likely left you in a world of anxiety, family conflict, and stuck with traumatic memories. Moments that are part of your normal day have left a path of rage that you can't explain. You're left asking, "What is wrong with me?" Your value is not impacted by facing these common problems in life. Despite feeling like no one can understand you, there is hope for you and your relationships. It may be difficult to see that hope in the darkness of depression or stress.

I typically work with issues concerning life transitions, addiction, couples conflict, and Family of Origin. I also love working with clients looking to detransition/desist. I have significant experience working with complex cases. Each client brings their individual stories into the room. By the time we seek help, life has typically not been going as we expected. We want to find a way out, but are unsure how to do so. What we need is someone to help us be a guide through to recovery. This is a life-long change that will need continued support. Not only is this our battle, but the battle of those around us.

We're all living lives filled with the challenges, wonders, conflicts, surprises, grief and pain, joys and gratitude that make for a grand story. And we find meaning in the context of our relationships with self, others, and, if you're so inclined, a higher power. Like every good story, there are moments where we discover that we need help—we need another to join us, support us, and guide us on our journeys.

Life can be hard, and sometimes we need some extra help and support to get through those difficult times. Whether it's dealing with young children or teenagers, relationship or family issues, anxiety or depression, the challenges of college life or jobs, or the curve ball that life throws at us, it can be stressful to manage, and can be helpful to have someone outside of the situation to talk with.

As a marriage and family therapist, I see individuals, families, and couples. My experience is in working with anxiety, depression, marital conflict, divorce recovery, and various forms of trauma including domestic violence situations. My goal with every client is to provide a safe space which invites the client to connect with the deeper emotions underlying presenting issues. I see each client as a unique and complex individual and collaborate with the client to tailor a treatment plan to meet therapy goals.

My goal is to build a strong therapeutic relationship grounded in collaboration, empathy, and trust. Committed to seeing each client as unique, I practice from a strength based and person-centered approach so you can get to your best self and experience lasting change.

Life often forces us to address challenging situations. Whether you're dealing with depression, anxiety, marital conflict, or a multitude of other personal issues, there are solutions that can help. Counseling offers you a supportive environment where problem areas are explored and goals developed to help you get your life back on track. It's through this process and the therapeutic relationship that true personal growth, healing, and acceptance occurs. I embrace a genuine, compassionate approach coupled with the most effective, evidenced based interventions that are goal directed and solution focused.

My work as a therapist is guided by the humanist theory that people can heal and grow if they have assistance that is genuine, empathetic, and accepting. I believe that when we accept ourselves exactly as we are, then we can find the strength to change behaviors that are not serving us. The approaches I use include EMDR, dialectic behavioral therapy (DBT), cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), neurobiology, motivational interviewing, positive psychology, attachment theory, and family systems theory.

A large part of my practice centers around working with families and helping parents of children who may be having behavior problems at home or at school and working with the children and adolescents themselves. I incorporate child-centered play therapy with young children as well as Adlerian and behavioral concepts with parents. I am a licensed psychologist with Health Service Provider in Psychology credential, a Registered Play Therapist-Supervisor, and a retired MTSU professor after teaching in the Professional Counseling Program for 25+ years. In addition to helping families, I also work extensively with couples and individuals who may be experiencing a variety of problematic daily living situations.

I love helping my clients find the peace and joy in life that they have always wanted! I have been working with children, families, couples and individual clients for the past 15 years and have experience working with crisis situations, domestic violence, suicidal and self harming thoughts as well as family crisis intervention. I also work with clients suffering with depression, anxiety, grief and marital issues. I am passionate about helping individuals and families find the balance and wholeness they need as well as any other goals they have in the therapeutic process.
