Trauma Focused Therapists in Fairview, TN

You didn't come this far, just to come this far.

If not for the friends and counselors in my life, I don't know where I would be today. Growing up in Colombia during a time of civil unrest, I witnessed much suffering and was personally touched by it as I experienced the murder of my father. The effects this had on me and my family are what lead me to the place of seeking help. We all need someone who will listen, comfort, and guide us towards health and healing. As a recipient of great care, I passionately aspire to give what has been given to me.

Picking a counselor can feel scary, but the decision wont be made, until you make it. At EXODUS, we've seen the immense positive impact counseling, therapy, and mentorship can have on someone's life in their pursuit of stability, meaning, joy, fulfillment, and more.

When a family member is suffering from a substance use disorder it is of paramount importance that they receive help as soon as possible, but often times they refuse treatment. If they are to be persuaded it is crucial to approach them in a manor that will make a deep and lasting impact.

When you've done it all but there's still something missing, it may be time to go deeper to find more lasting sources of well-being. I'm a contemplative therapist and ordained contemplative minister who may be the mirror you need for this season. I specialize in a mindful awareness process called Brainspotting. Brainspotting not only offers trauma healing and creative expansion: It can help you recover your connection to the authentic self that was shelved along the way.. I'm grateful to have provided over 10K hours of Brainspotting since 2013 and witnessed this amazing healing and spiritual growth. I'd be honored to accompany you.

You are invited to come talk with me in my relaxed spacious office. Coming to therapy is a difficult decision for many people, but you can trust that your visits are private and confidential. Making the first phone call is often the hardest step. You deserve to feel better and talk therapy is highly effective. We can talk about your concerns and stressors and develop a plan to help you regain your ability to handle life's challenges.

We all face challenges in life, but we do not have to face them alone. It is important to be able to communicate our feelings and needs in a safe environment. And sometimes, we need a guide to help us navigate the difficult inner territory that stands between us and our best selves. I seek to create a safe space where you can heal and grow, and to help you work through the struggles, losses and wounds that keep you from thriving.

You're not exactly sure when it happened, but all of a sudden you realize that you are not dealing with life as well as you use to. Maybe you are easily overwhelmed or others are telling you that you seem "irritable" or "distant". Maybe something is going on, or has happened in the past, and it's unclear how to move forward. Either way, you are sick of feeling this way and want to get back to being yourself and feel peace. You may have realized that it's time to work though the things in your life that can't be ignored any longer.

I desire to be an authentic, non-judgmental, calm presence in order to create a safe place for you to share your story. In the field of marriage and family therapy, we focus on relationships. I want to help people find peace in their relationship with self and others.
