In Person Therapists in Brentwood, TN
My specialty is RELATIONSHIP COACHING, seeing clients as couples as well as individually. I offer specific protocols for successful relationships especially designed for difficult situations, including betrayal. I have been practicing Clinical Psychology for 30+ years and have been with Brentwood Counseling Associates, the oldest psychological practice in this area, since 1988.
I see clients of all ages, starting from adolescence. Sub-specialties include: ADDICTIONS; ANXIETY; DEPRESSION; SPIRITUAL/RELIGIOUS ISSUES. HYPNOTHERAPY can be used for these problems, or for smoking cessation, weight issues, fear of flying and other phobias. I am a member of the American Society of Clinical Hypnosis.

Women and pre-marital couples have unique reasons for seeking counseling. You may be a woman dealing with the stressors from being a wife, a mom, a professional; you've forgotten who you are or even how to find balance. You've found yourself overwhelmed with anxiety and struggling in your relationships. Perhaps your relationship is new and you want to focus on it before taking the next step or find you're caught up in negative cycles of communication and need help identifying new cycles to rekindle your love for your spouse. Regardless of who you are, your desire to have a sense of self and security is a priority.

I see a wide range of clients from many different backgrounds. I like to say that I work with "real" people who are struggling with "real" problems. Some of the areas I see on a regular basis include anxiety issues, marital/family problems, and college students. My approach to counseling is integrative and I tailor my sessions to the client and whatever they are struggling with. Often I take a cognitive behavioral approach, but also use other methods when I believe they will be effective.

“When you can’t look on the bright side, I will sit with you in the dark.” This quote is what inspires me to work with my clients and listen to their stories. What is your story? Maybe you are a young woman with a history of trauma, or who is seeking what life has in store for you next. Maybe your daughter needs counseling and you’re looking for an empathic therapist to guide her through that process. Or maybe you’re a first responder who needs support from what you’ve experience at home and at work. If any of those sound like you, I’d love to walk alongside you in your journey.

My typical client feels drained at the end of each day due to anxiety or trauma. Trying to appear “normal” can be a full time job if your mind is constantly racing and you haven’t had a good night’s sleep in a long time. Maybe you are tired of overreacting to those around you or you think you just have to live with the trauma of past events.

Hello, I'm glad you stopped by! Please feel free to call/email me. I offer phone/email consultations to discuss what led you here and to see if we'd be a good therapeutic fit. Authenticity, compassion, non-judgment, honesty, and humor are the foundation of my work. As needed by the client, I shift from being primarily a listener, helping you to clarify your needs and wants, to action-oriented and directive, providing resources and skill building. I believe in comprehensive wellness, that emotional, physical, and relational health are interrelated, so even a small change in one area can affect the whole system.

Life can be really hard sometimes, and nobody should have to go through it alone. Human connection and compassion can be so powerful and our greatest tool towards healing. I believe that we are all experts of our own experience and that sometimes we need someone to walk alongside with us because it's okay to not be 'okay'. I work primarily with trauma (complex and acute), grief/depression, anxiety, personality disorders, relational issues, and sitting through difficult life transitions and stressors. I am eager to work collaboratively with you to begin your work towards inner peace and healing.

I see the person as existing in four identifiably separate ways - physically, mentally, spiritually and emotionally - yet so intricately formed into a single being. I see mental and emotional difficulties stemming from factors including past and present, genetics and environment, and a person's own ability and motivation to change. My job is to assist in your awareness of yourself in all four areas, but especially to facilitate your mental and emotional growth. No one knows you better than you. I will never be the expert on you. I would be honored to serve you through the counseling venue.
