Therapists in Clarksville, TN

Navigating life's challenges can be overwhelming, but with the right support, you can find your way to a brighter, more joyful future. As a dedicated therapist, I specialize in working with both adults and adolescents, providing a warm, engaging, and upbeat approach to therapy. My therapeutic focus includes managing anxiety, depression, and trauma, while also promoting esteem-building, emotional regulation, self-control, and practical goal-setting. I understand that each individual's journey is unique, and I am committed to tailoring my approach to meet your specific needs.

When it comes to mental health, it can be difficult to find the right match or feel like you are making the right choice, especially for your kids. As parents, you want to make the best choices for your children and set them up for a successful life and sometimes children and teens needs a little extra help. Do you have a child or teen whom you may feel needs extra tools to help with anxiety, depression, suicidal ideations, time management, anger management, emotional regulation or has experienced trauma?

It is my passion to serve individuals who have: 1. experienced abuse or neglect in childhood and 2. mothers experiencing a perinatal mood disorder. Do you struggle with feelings of anger, hopelessness, or isolation, intrusive thoughts, nightmares, anxiety, or depression? Maybe your partner or children trigger emotional responses from you that you want change. If you're ready to break the cycle, take control and ownership of your emotions, go from reacting to responding, heal your inner child, and become the best version of yourself, let's begin the journey together.

Life can be challenging at times, and whether you are struggling with grief, relational issues, trauma, mental health and well-being or a transitional phase in your life, I work collaboratively with my clients, individual, couples or families, to support your journey. While reaching out for guidance and support can be difficult, it can be the most rewarding and life changing decision a person can make. I recognize the strength in each of my clients and work with them to discover the skills and resources they already have and those that may need to navigate the moment that they are in.

Hello! I’m so glad that you are here. Everyone has a story and yours matters to me. I have a passion to support my clients as they write the next chapters in their personal journey. My desire as a counselor is to create a safe and warm therapeutic environment that builds on the client’s strengths and resilience. I typically draw from Family Systems Therapy, Cognitive- Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Narrative Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy, depending on the individual and situation. My hope is that, as we work together, you will find deeper understanding of your story and much hope for your next chapter.

Happy Hello!

I also work with adults of all ages and life stages on a range of issues, including anxiety and depression, eating disorders and PTSD.

Dark humor?  Do you use humor to cope with the traumatic events you have witnessed as a first responder? Do you struggle to relate to people outside of the first responder community, including your own family? I'm here to help. First responders witness significant amounts of trauma every day and are expected to go home and act like nothing happened. That's not practical. Whether you're ready to work through your traumatic experiences,  reconnect with others, or improve your quality of life, I'm here for you. You are not alone.

I am excited to work with clients of any population. As a veteran, I have experience working with the military, substance abuse, PTSD, and anxiety. My current areas of interest include anxiety, depression, substance abuse, personality disorders, and family or couples therapy. I also have a particular passion for working with adolescents and young adults struggling with behavioral problems and those from disadvantaged backgrounds, as well as working with issues of anger management.

Are you tired of feeling stuck and broken? Have you been through service-related stressful experiences, that you don’t talk about because others won’t understand and may look at you different? Amidst these circumstances, do you find yourself grappling with an internal battle of anger, being on-edge, nightmares, chronic pain, and feeling distant/detached from yourself and others? Maybe you’ve tried therapy, but it never went anywhere because no one seemed to get to the root of the problem. These are very common struggles for those who have experienced complex trauma, including service-related and line-of-duty stressful experiences.

You're stuck. There is a wall that seems to be barring you from having a better life. Lets talk about this wall. How did it get there? What's beyond the wall? Most importantly, how are we going to deal with this barrier? Perhaps you're struck with grief, you have issues with yourself or others, or you are burdened with stress and anxiety. You want relief - no, you need relief from this. Because, in doing so, things will get better. You figure its not easy to do this alone, so you begin to look for a therapist. And congratulations, you've made it. So lets talk about healing.

Optimal mental health includes 5 basic concepts. Balance is achieved through adding and subtracting parts of your life that are healthy and unhealthy. Being open minded and letting go of toxic habits is vital to growth. Grieving loss of yourself, others and ideals offers you an opportunity to heal. Recognizing how ready you are for change and beginning the natural process of feelings release without judgment is the final step in your journey to optimal mental health. You know you best and I invite you to begin to listen to your body, mind and soul.

There are factors in life that significantly impact and potentially shape a person. Those impacts can range from positive, negative, neutral, and/or a combination of all that. However, the battle(s) you are facing in your memories, thoughts, or overall life just know you don't have to do it on your own.

Are you seeking help with emotional regulation, boundary setting, anxiety, career difficulties, life transitions, trauma, relationship challenges, or men’s issues? Imagine realizing that your reactions and feelings to these challenges are normal and that many others in similar situations feel similarly.

I help clients understand that they can do something to improve their situation. In utilizing various therapeutic interventions, I assist clients with making changes that enhance healthy thinking and behavior to improve their quality of life.

Therapy is a safe space to spill the tea! No matter how supportive our friends, family, and partners are we can all hit a wall with sharing. We convince ourselves that we have overshared or over burdened them so we end up holding our thoughts, feelings, worries, shame, and pain inside. This is where therapy can help. Therapy provides a place to talk without judgement or fear. Therapy can also help learn important skills such as healthy communication and setting difficult boundaries. I am here to listen and to walk with you through the pain, healing, frustration, fear, etc.

To better serve those I work with, I have begun to incorporate EMDR and Sand tray to address many issues in the therapeutic setting.
