Alcohol Use Therapists in Franklin, TN

If maturity, plenty of life experience, and a strong faith in God are important criteria in your selection of a therapist, we may be a good fit.

It is possible to move through life with minimal struggle. Your outward action in harmony with the inner voice that guides you, doing the right thing for the right reason, with a feeling of the wind at your back, effortless. One school of thought is that if you are not busy doing something and staying on top of things, you will lose your edge and your effectiveness. This attitude can create an over-active mind, prone to excessive worry and stress. The Art of Struggle Reduction takes a different approach. Moving through life with minimal worry, stress, and struggle makes one more effective, not less.

In our journey through life, we encounter times that are tough to navigate. It could be a fresh challenge that appears out of nowhere or an old emotional wound that requires healing. Sometimes, we need a place to share our thoughts, feelings, and emotions freely. That's where counseling steps in as a valuable tool. I see it as a way to guide and support your personal growth and healing, helping you move forward.

I am passionate about working with clients presenting with dual diagnoses and co-occurring disorders. I have experience working with clients who suffer from anxiety, depression, bi-polar I and II, PTSD, Trauma, addiction disorders, personality disorders, and OCD to name a few. I use a treatment model that is eclectic, as every client's needs vary. These models include, but are not limited to, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Person Centered Therapy, EMDR, and Narrative Therapy.

It can feel helpless when looking for support for anxiety causes anxiety itself. I am passionate about working with individuals who have experienced this and have been previously hesitant towards or suspicious of therapy. Whether you are a teenager with social or performance anxiety or an adult navigating the stressors of life transitions and relationships, it is my goal to hold an open, validating space for you to identify what is happening within you as you tell your story, identify pain points along the way, and develop coping skills to tolerate your distress.

I recognize that the journey that brought you to therapy may not have been an easy one. I work to assist you in your self-exploration, learning, and growth by creating a safe, nurturing, respectful, yet challenging environment. I prioritize your autonomy and personal responsibility throughout the healing process.

Are you struggling with a life transition, perhaps facing a divorce or separation? If you have children, you may be wondering if they are going to be OK, especially if you do not feel like you are OK. Children are impacted emotionally by the same events that impact adults, but they process them differently. I have worked with a variety of clients- ranging from very young children to adults and couples. I have extensive training and experience in trauma - both childhood trauma and adult trauma. I am a certified Trauma therapist (CTT) and am certified in EMDR therapy.

Life is a tapestry of experiences - every thread woven together uniquely; specifically stitched is each one of our stories. Inevitably and sadly sooner than wished, comes the problem of pain. Pain can hijack our path (or alter it altogether), leading to hurt, hopelessness and disillusionment. Pain often clouds our vision. We forget that what may appear to be a mess of thread through our eyes might look like a masterpiece from another vantage point. The defining factor? Perspective. Learning to share our story, feel our feelings and tell the truth about them empowers us to live authentic, purposeful lives.
