Narrative Therapists in Brentwood, TN

I work with men of all ages, teens, and parents of teens. Each client is unique, therefore my approach is individualized for each client. A part of the counseling process is identifying the barriers that are keeping you stuck, in order to move forward in a healthier way. I look forward to talking with you as you begin your journey! I provide free 20-30 minute phone consultations.

My goal is to offer you a soft place to land. A space to process your thoughts, feelings, past experiences and desires for your future. The focus of my practice has been in treating anxiety related disorders, depression, Trauma/PTSD, and relationship issues. I aim to help my clients gain insight, self-awareness, tools and to feel more in control.

Discretion, trust, and a sense of safety are paramount for successful therapy. Working with couples, individuals, and families, my goal is to provide an environment of privacy and safety. Those who participate in therapy find that it can be the impetus for improvement in every area of life. I discreetly work with those with high public profiles in areas that include marriage counseling, anxiety, self-esteem/confidence, depression, attachment wounds, trauma, and relationship distress.Many, whom have not considered systemic therapy previously often experience improved relationships in every aspect of their lives, including individuals in executive leadership and upper management positions, as well as entrepreneurs.

Being an over-thinker is exhausting. Constantly worrying how others perceive you or always trying to get things right affects not only your sense of self worth, but your relationships too. Trusting yourself and staying rooted in who you are is a challenge when you’re trying to gain control of your circumstances through over-thinking. How do I know? That used to be my story until I began to explore the deeper fears that required me to perform for acceptance from others. I love working with adults and adolescents who deeply desire being accepted, not in spite of, but because of their imperfections and who want to grow in self-trust.

My clients have complicated family relationships, which often include addiction, boundary conflicts, or a lack of emotional understanding. They tend to be anxious overthinkers, striving to break intergenerational cycles, but they struggle to connect with themselves on a deeper level. Our work together will focus on increasing your emotional understanding, identifying the patterns that are keeping you from living the life you desire, and moving into a space of self-acceptance.

At Concord Family Counseling, we are passionate about working with teenagers and their families. Our goal is for your teen to be authentically themselves, make healthy decisions, and feel like they can overcome any difficulties.

Sometimes we begin to feel overwhelmed by life's unexpected turns. You may find yourself struggling with persistent worry, restlessness, sadness, or a sense of emptiness. Or maybe you feel disconnected from yourself and unsure why you react so strongly to seemingly small things. You're not alone. Many people experience these challenges and seek help to rediscover joy and purpose. Together, we can explore the confusion and grief you may be feeling. 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.

Therapy is for everyone. At some point in their life, most people find themselves in need of a little extra support...someone to listen without judgement, a space to process, and a non-judgmental relationship that can help them find their own answers. My goal as a therapist is to help create a warm, inviting environment where my clients feel comfortable and welcomed. My style is genuine and real. I believe that good therapy is a balance of building a warm, trusting relationship and acquiring practical skills for application.

Healing happens when we attend to our attachment wounds, address the needs of our inner parts, and adopt healthy communication patterns and boundaries. When we feel heard in a safe space, we can begin to unpack our hurt, explore our needs, and express our feelings. I utilize an integrative and supportive approach to honor clients' stories and needs, establish and reignite meaningful relationships, and practice mindful emotional expression. My goal is to support clients as they process past memories, enhance present connections, and plan for the future.

My passion is helping hurting people. I consider it a true honor to walk alongside hurting people as they face relationship difficulties, life transitions, grief, depression, anxiety, trauma, addiction and other life challenges.

I am so glad you are here. Reaching out for help can be a difficult and crucial first step on the path to healing. And sometimes our hardest endeavors become our greatest joys. It is normal for us to have a wide range of experiences in this life. As a therapist, it is my goal to provide a safe space for clients to be seen, heard, and navigate all that life has in store. My professional experience includes a variety of trauma, life transitions, relationship issues, anxiety, OCD, perfectionism, adverse religious experiences and spiritual issues, the music business and touring life, body image and disordered eating, and grief and loss.

Life isn’t easy. Sometimes, the strongest people amongst us need a little help to work through some of life’s more challenging problems. Everyone has battles to fight and hurdles to overcome at some point. Whether you struggle with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, and or any other issue you should know that there is hope for a better tomorrow.

I'm so happy you're here, and am humbled and excited to walk with you on your therapy journey! I am passionate about working with those experiencing OCD, Anxiety, Depression, and Trauma-Related distress and dysfunction. I work to create meaningful and sustainable change both inside and outside of the therapy office. Walking alongside clients and families as they discover their own resiliency and “why” for embracing discomfort in a safe and supportive environment is my goal! I am affirming and supportive of all LGBTQIA+ folks and am passionate about providing care to this often underserved community.

My specializations include perinatal and postpartum issues, eating disorders, obsessive-compulsive disorder, anxiety, and depression. My passion populations are women and teens, and my values center around compassion, advocacy, and kindness. I work with individuals to find solutions and gain new tools in order to find their way back to fulfillment.

Are you making one or more of these statements or asking one or more of these questions? Something needs to change. Something just doesn’t feel right. I hate this. I can’t do this anymore. Now what do I do? What was I thinking? Who am I? Why can’t I just…?! Perhaps it’s another, equally frustrating statement or confusing question? Perhaps you are saying ‘we’ rather than ‘I’? Whatever the context, I want to acknowledge that you are in a hard place and that hard places are part of the human condition. Seeking help is a courageous act! Confusion, fear, anger, sadness, grief – however you are feeling – make sense and I can help.

I'm passionate about partnering with and walking alongside others in their most difficult moments to offer a renewed sense of hope and healing. Research shows the value in a therapeutic relationship where clients feel safe and accepted. I see this relationship as the foundation my clients and I build upon to move towards progress and transformation. My clinical interests include depression, anxiety, grief, addiction, trauma, sexuality, boundaries, spirituality, and life-transitions.

Do you feel stuck and notice a longing for more? Maybe you feel like there are some unaddressed parts of your story that you're ready to work through. Maybe you feel overwhelmed with thoughts and feelings or maybe you don't feel much of anything. Often, my clients come to me feeling disconnected from their feelings and are ready to do the work of becoming more present and grounded. Others feel the burdens of childhood trauma or messy family dynamics. Others may feel like imposters in their work or social environments and desire to be more confident with who they are.

As a therapist specializing in grief and a grief educator, I have learned grief is a story of the heart, it changes us. Grief can leave us feeling depressed, anxious, lonely, vulnerable, and scared. I provide grief counseling and hold hope to those who have experienced: a death-related loss, divorce, lost childhood due to dysfunction in the family system, and any significant life-changing event that causes pain. Sharing your grief story is the first step on the journey to healing the pain of loss.

I love helping young women and couples find wholeness in relationship with themselves, others, and God. Whether you are someone(s) overcoming trauma or family of origin issues, discerning your own belief system, striving to create a life of alignment, strengthening the intertwining of two unique lives before or after marriage, navigating sexual intimacy struggles, or simply going through a big life adjustment and need a safe space to process, I so look forward to meeting you and joining in on the adventure.
