I want to help you find your center again. Anxious or depressive thoughts pop up and interrupt the life you are trying to lead. The story you thought was going to play out for your life, somehow just doesn't happen. I want to help you rewrite whatever parts of your narrative aren't working for you. You can find a way toward a better life, but you have to understand how your story impacts the way you show up in your own skin and the way you pursue relationship. If hope feels hard to find, I can help. The life you want can feel more in reach, as you find a better understanding of who you were meant to be.

Each year children at every grade level go through an entire academic year with undiagnosed learning differences - including ADHD and other learning disabilities. These undiagnosed issues often go undetected on standardized assessments that acknowldege only the student’s achievements, while masking the underlying learning challenges. For over 34 years our Learning Lab team has earned the reputation as one of Middle Tennessee's leading providers of psychoeducational assessments by providing deep insights into how a child thinks - from problem solving, to academic skills, to social emotions functioning.

I primarily work with individuals with histories of complex or developmental trauma, as well as acute trauma. I appreciate working with people struggling with or recovering from disordered eating, body images issues, or diet culture. I frequently work with anxiety and worry, and have experience working specifically with health anxiety and panic. I welcome anyone who feels hesitant (or maybe even skeptical!) towards their emotions or therapy; often, our greatest fears and desires are hiding under ambivalence and doubt, and I love treading into those waters with people.

Hello and thank you for visiting my page. Taking a step towards self discovery is a courageous one. I see therapy as a unique opportunity to provide space for healing, where choosing to honor yourself becomes priority. Our personal journeys have many ebbs and flows and we can become lost in our experiences and emotions along the way. Therapy can serve as a guide to help us safely navigate our way back. Healing will ask you to dismantle repetitive patterns, unresolved pain and outdated beliefs to have a clearer view. With new vision and understanding it opens the possibilities in becoming the truest version of yourself.

Female Therapists
Does it matter what gender my therapist is?
In general, this is not an important factor, as there is no relationship between a therapist’s gender and their efficacy. Some clients, however, prefer to see therapists of a particular gender, whether due to their own past experiences with men and women, or ingrained beliefs about how people of different genders think and behave. Exploring the roots of such preferences and considering what one wants to address in therapy can help someone determine whether their therapist’s gender truly matters to them.
Should I see a female therapist?
Many people—not just women—prefer to see a female therapist, either because they believe that a woman will be able to relate to their specific challenges (for example, sexism in the workplace) or because they imagine feeling more comfortable disclosing sensitive information to a woman. Such beliefs may not turn out to be accurate, however, and adhering too rigidly to a gender preference can at times hinder a client from finding the best therapeutic match.
Do therapists get specific training to help with women’s concerns?
Therapists are trained to provide care to clients of any gender. However, some therapists—both men and women—may pursue additional training in feminist therapy, gender-specific issues, or women’s mental health. Female clients may wish to ask prospective therapists whether they have received specific training in the client’s primary area(s) of concern, or whether they have worked extensively with women on issues similar to their own.
How can I inquire about a therapist’s experience in treating women?
It’s OK—even encouraged!—to ask a therapist directly whether and how often they have treated women in the past, or whether they have treated women dealing with the client’s most prominent concern(s). Competent therapists will be happy to share their educational background, preferred treatment modalities, and prior client experience to help an individual find the therapist best suited to their needs.
