Female Therapists in Berry Hill, TN

NOW accepting new clients! You ask yourself, "will it ever stop?" The racing thoughts, the paralyzing self-doubt and the overwhelm. You’re easily triggered. It feels like you're on an emotional roller coaster. That intrusive voice is telling you that you’re not enough—you’ll never measure up. Perfectionism and procrastination keep you stuck. You find yourself in an unfulfilling job or relationship yet again. You long for connection, but are afraid of rejection. You seek comfort with alcohol, food, social media, work or shopping, but the feelings keep coming back.

When you cut a tree down and look at the growth rings added every year, you can see the way fire, water, wind, and people have impacted its life each year. I believe that people are no different. Our environment shapes us, and nevertheless we grow. Some years are harder than others, but even within the hard years, growth takes place.

I help women live their values without guilt & anxiety. Despite being funny, smart, and hardworking, life is hard. They're constantly making sure everyone else has what they need, and forgetting themselves in the process. They feel unappreciated, exhausted, and frustrated. They worry that they're letting everyone down when they say "No." This isn't the life they imagined for themself.

I wholeheartedly believe that everybody needs somebody in their lives that makes them feel less alone. I strive to create a warm, supportive and safe atmosphere throughout the process of building our therapeutic relationship. If you are feeling anxious, depressed or just not like yourself, this is a safe space to learn what it feels like to be accepted for your authentic self. With a focus on growth in the context of relational connection, I desire to ensure you would feel supported and heard along your journey of self-exploration. It is my intention to always honor the sacred space created in the therapy room.

We will work together to help you identify your goals for building a healthier and more fulfilling life. In our time together we will develop techniques to help you practice and integrate skills to meet your goals.

Throughout my life, I've formed connections with people from all walks of life, nurturing a deep appreciation for the tapestry of human connection and the beauty of our unique differences.

Do you worry that you are “too much” or “not enough” for others? Do you struggle to form and maintain relationships? Maybe you find yourself engaging in self-sabotaging behaviors within romantic relationships or are experiencing a consistent sense of disconnection from other people.

Humans are biologically programmed to live in secure, trusting relationships with others. All of us have an innate need to feel safe, valued, and loved.

Each one of us experiences psychological challenges in life that we try to meet using whatever strategies we know. However, sometimes the challenges become too great and our coping strategies stop working. This can be compounded by the fact that we often internalize messages from our society, however well-intentioned, that limit our abilities to understand ourselves and our world. It is in these moments that we can use support from therapists to turn down the noise of the world so that we may find our own inner wisdom about who we are, what we need, and ultimately how to heal.
