If you are searching for a safe space to heal and grow, I'm glad you are here. In my 25+ years as a clinical psychologist, I have repeatedly witnessed this truth: taking the risk to begin a therapeutic relationship is an act of both bravery and self-compassion. Therapy can and should be empowering and transformative. In my work I seek a balance of gentleness, nurture and challenge with those who entrust me with their stories; my clients have shown me that deep change is possible. My specialties include trauma, sexuality, spirituality & anxiety disorders.
I draw upon therapeutic interventions that integrate a mind-body connection, including EMDR, mindfulness, CBT, Internal Family Systems, interpersonal & emotional regulation skills and ACT. As my clients learn to safely attend to and care for their own bodies and stories, they can re-parent wounded parts of self and experience powerful post-traumatic growth.
I offer in-person and virtual individual psychotherapy, walk and talk sessions, as well as intensive sessions in Tennessee. In addition, I am licensed to provide remote services in all PSYPACT states. Please feel free to reach out via email or phone to see if I can be a good fit to support you in your journey toward health and healing.
