As humans, we develop physically, emotionally, spiritually, and relationally throughout our lives. During our life our development becomes tested by typical and/or atypical challenges. How we respond to these challenges impacts our continued growth. I love working with people across the lifespan addressing these challenges during which learning, growth, and empowerment stem. I have a particular interest in working with children, adolescents, and young adults in their process of ‘becoming’.

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.

I approach things holistically, attending to emotions, thoughts, body, and spirit. Trusting each person's innate capacity for health and wholeness, I attempt to provide a safe setting in which you can access this in you. My role is not to provide answers but to serve as a knowledgeable companion in your exploration. Many people will benefit from mindfulness and relaxation training, which I teach.

I love a few things: motorcycles, basketball, coffee, great books..... and water. I'm alive on the water, fishing rod in hand, my prize unseen beneath me, prowling the deep. I love counseling for the same reason. Searching the depths of the self in order to find, catch, and admire what lies beneath the surface of awareness. My world came crashing down when I was 19. Pain, fear, confusion, and anger were my constant companions for a long season. I began my own journey of healing with a gifted and caring therapist. It was beautiful and terrifying. And helpful.

As an artist, I understand the life-long vitality of artistic growth, & the importance of creativity to one’s perception of the world. As a professional counselor, I treat issues unique to artists, performers and other creative individuals. I encourage my clients to work with the highs/lows of the creative process, integrate them, and channel them appropriately through their art. Let’s explore ways to balance intense periods of creative work with healthy self-care and self-compassion. See more on my website on ways I can support you on your artist’s journey.

You are not too scared, too lonely or too sad. There is hope for you. You are not too sick or too hurt. There is hope for you. You are not too broken or too damaged. There is hope for you. At times, life can be so painful that it is difficult to believe things will ever get better. During these times what we need, as much as anything, is someone to stand by our side, understand us, and remind us that we can, once more, be healthy and whole. This is the central component in my approach to therapy.

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.

I hope to create a safe space where vulnerability and honesty can be practiced and valued. My therapeutic relationship with my clients is most important to me; I develop and maintain meaningful therapeutic relationships full of genuine discussion, rigorous honesty and self-reflection. I enjoy working with couples who are feeling disconnected and unheard, parents struggling to understand and effectively guide and influence their child, women who want to learn healthy boundaries in order to achieve relationships with themselves and others that are authentic, and families struggling with codependency and enmeshment.

Are you a high achiever that is overwhelmed and burnt out? Are you upset at not meeting your goals and expectations? Do you constantly struggle with managing your work-life balance? People might think that you have it all together, but on the inside, you are critical of yourself and disappointed. You also might lack confidence and often find yourself second guessing you decisions. I commonly see high achievers and executives that are afraid of criticism, feel like imposters, and worry about upsetting others.

My practice centers around helping people who are dealing with intense life challenges like anxiety, depression, self esteem issues or relational conflict etc. The typical clients I see are professional men or women, athletes or performers, and teenage boys. People coming to therapy want change in their lives and are struggling. I believe people will change or heal if they have someone in their corner who cares, understands, and compassionately redirects them toward their own internal resources each week. My main goal is to help you find your own inner resource of calm and confidence.

It is not uncommon for people to come to therapy and say, “I just feel lost.” You may wonder where the meaning has gone. Life is confusing. Sometimes you doubt life itself, and you are forever doubting yourself. You're exhausted! Showing up is the first step in finding yourself. I help you identify your deepest values and passions and adjust your life to live by them; I go deep and you need to know that up front. You will be asked to examine the thoughts you think and to identify your emotions which are always clues to what is below the surface.
