Therapists Beginning With V in Tennessee
As a therapist, I work with people who are feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or looking to make some sort of change (in life, relationships, unhealthy habits or behaviors, etc.). I work primarily from a relational-cultural approach, which means that my focus is on the therapeutic relationship, authenticity, and perhaps most importantly, collaboration. Content related to the past, present, and future are each considered to be sources of valuable information, as are thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. I value creativity and a sense of humor in my work with clients; your experience is yours alone and as such, your treatment will be individually tailored to your needs.

There are factors in life that significantly impact and potentially shape a person. Those impacts can range from positive, negative, neutral, and/or a combination of all that. However, the battle(s) you are facing in your memories, thoughts, or overall life just know you don't have to do it on your own.

Negative stories, beliefs, and conflict can leave you feeling you feeling stuck and overwhelmed. These experiences may stem from years of ongoing challenges or from a recent event that has created distress. Whatever the issue, together we can work towards healing through exploring beliefs and stories that no longer serve you and by understanding the complexities of your internal and external worlds. My hope is to help you cultivate more opportunities for rest, joy, and clarity, and therapy provides a unique space to do this in your timing, with care, and with your goals in mind.

Relationships build the context of our lives. We learn who we are from those around us. This exchange has the power to influence our thoughts and beliefs about ourselves. While relationships have the beautiful ability to build us up, encourage us, and support us, they also have the reverse effect. Have you ever been in a relationship that tore you down, made you question your worth, damaged your self-esteem, or left you wondering why you weren't enough? Have these unhealthy or toxic relationships hindered your ability to seek out and sustain a healthy one? This story doesn't have to be yours forever and you're not alone.

We all have things going on, and it can be hard to know the way forward for every situation we are faced with, especially if we feel alone. I believe that no matter who you are or where you are in life, a way forward often begins with stopping to reflect. Having someone present can help that happen.

Therapy is about connection. I provide a holistic, client-centered, relational approach. There comes a time when help is needed from a professional to cope with life’s ups and downs and ongoing challenges. Good therapy supports integrating your life experiences. It can help you to make sense of the world again after traumatic or stressful events and gives you the skills to move forward in a healthier and happier way. Therapy is different than other relationships you may have in your life because it is completely focused on You. The ultimate purpose of psychotherapy is to help an individual find a life with purpose and meaning.

My clients don't come to therapy to hear someone nod and agree with everything they say—that's not worth their time or money. They want real help. They want to know "what to do" and "how to fix it" because they're struggling with depression, severe anxiety, relationship problems, trauma, suicidal thoughts, parenting issues, and other painful situations. They are looking for a true expert that they can actually talk to. I am a member of PSYPACT which means I can see clients in every state that is a member of PSYPACT and I am also licensed in MA.

Life gets hard. Period. Every person has a unique sort of hard, but it's hard all the same. For some of us, it's a single event that changes the trajectory of our lives. For others of us, it's a series of traumatic experiences, decisions, disappointments, or relationship betrayals that result in emotional distress. A sense that life just isn't what it was (and perhaps never will be again) develops and suddenly, "hard" feels BIGGER. Maybe you're struggling with debilitating anxiety, relationship issues, spirituality concerns, or that thick and lingering cloud of depression. Whatever your hard is, you aren't alone.
