EMDR Therapists in Clarksville, TN

Are you struggling with anxiety, low self esteem, depression or relationship issues? Does life seem overwhelming to you? Emotional pain and stress can affect our lives in many ways, negatively contributing to our emotional, physical and spiritual health. I view each client as a unique person and develop the best therapeutic approach for their needs. My passion is to help individuals identify healthy coping skills and beliefs to deal with everyday life issues or past difficulties that impact their lives today.

I enjoy working with people from all walks of life. It is my desire to help people who have difficulty in daily life due to mental health issues and past traumas move to a place of healing and wholeness. I will guide your journey into healing and give you tools to become the person you have always imagined....the person who is not controlled by their past, fear, sadness or worry.

Giving up on a goal because of a setback is like slashing your other three tires because you have a flat; I live by this quote because it is so simplistic yet speaks volumes. I feel that in life you will always have setbacks, but that is essential to understanding that it is a process but that it is your process that we will work through together in a strong therapeutic relationship.

I'm committed to providing personalized support that meets you where you are. Whether you're facing difficulties related to relationships, trauma, stress, or anything else, I'm here to support you.

Emotional pain is hurtful. Sometimes life circumstances overwhelm us and we lose our way and our peace of mind. Therapy can help heal relationships with others but most importantly with ourselves. We need an objective partner who can identify problematic issues and assist with development of coping skills and healing. I've named my practice Tranquility Counseling because I hope to help my clients enter a space of peacefulness, calm, and safety - even amidst chaotic times.

Life can feel overwhelming, and we can sometimes be plagued by painful experiences. While obstacles are ever-constant, feeling overwhelmed by them doesn't have to be.
