Trauma expert Peter Levine stated, "Trauma is perhaps the most avoided, ignored, belittled, denied, misunderstood, and untreated cause of human suffering." At Be Found Counseling, we believe this whole heartedly. We see people, just like you, every day who come in asking the question, "why am I like this?" We know you want to live fully, without feeling the weight of anxiety, depression, overwhelm, hurt of the past and the struggle in the present. We know you want to heal. We know you want to feel whole.

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.

Waitlist for new clients
I have worked over 15 years with individuals in outpatient and inpatient settings. I am currently in private practice in Franklin, TN where I continue my focus primarily on treating individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder (formerly known as Asperger's Syndrome). I guide clients in learning self-regulation skills, self-awareness to become more socially integrated, improve social communication and begin to think and behave in more flexible, less rigid manner. I seek to help individuals with ASD learn more about themselves and appreciate their unique strengths as they tackle their "challenges" with humor and a sense of hopefulness.

We can work towards the peace and happiness you desire. My approach is tailored to support you in finding clarity, building resilience, and creating a fulfilling future.

Do you struggle with sex getting more daily attention than your closest relationships? Maybe a previous infidelity or betrayal continues to plague the relationship? Many of my clients struggle to make sense of emotions, but long to feel safe and connected to friends and family. Despite our best protective strategies, emotional experiences will not be ignored. Over a lifespan, adaptive protective strategies of the past become our prisons. Mal-adaptive in the present, old and helpful strategies of the past form the barriers to trusting safe and connected relationships we all desperately desire.

You feel that no matter how much you do, how well you do it, how much you give, that it is not enough. And if that is ever in doubt your mind is ready to remind you that it is, in fact, not enough. That you are not enough. Maybe you find yourself trying to navigate daily life experiences perfectly. Or engaging in unhealthy coping skills to make it through the day. Or withdrawing from the people you care about because you don’t feel connected. You are exhausted, overwhelmed, and defeated with trying to silence that inner voice that whispers-or yells-‘not enough.’

I am passionate about supporting people in their healing journey. Through life’s challenges and circumstances, we adapt and develop strategies that help us cope and meet our needs. These protective strategies make sense and are successful until they no longer support us in a way that is helpful. Pain and trauma may continue to keep us stuck in patterns or limit us to certain roles that are not a true reflection of all of who we are.
