Psychoanalytic Therapists in Macon County, TN

Accepting New Clients Are you always a little bit afraid to be yourself? Have you been hit with what feels like more than you can handle alone? I know those feelings exactly! I am honored to work with those in the LGBTQ+ community as well as individuals who struggle with substance use issues, trauma, anxiety/depression. I work from a psychoanalytic perspective to offer a safe space for those striving for a more fulfilling life.

In the depth psychology tradition, we consider the Greek use of "psyche" which is inclusive of soul, mind, body, and nature itself. Life experiences can result in disruptions in these connections to self—to psyche—and loss of internal resources. As a result, when faced with challenges, we can feel overwhelmed and disoriented. Therapy can help provide a supportive relationship where these experiences can be explored—recovery of lost or devastated parts of the self can begin. Some of the areas I support clients with include relationship issues, depression, anxiety, transitions, religious trauma, mind-body connection, and creativity,

Choosing a psychotherapist is a very important decision. Talking to someone new about yourself can be intimidating. I provide a setting that is comfortable, safe, and completely confidential. I ask what brings you to see me and what kind of help you feel you need. Sometimes it can be helpful to interview other professionals. Finding a good match is essential and my interest is always in what is best for the client. I do my best to make treatment recommendations and provide services most likely to help you.

I help disgruntled couples, frustrated parents, overwhelmed teenagers, and anxious business owners. Human beings are social and require environments that make them feel valuable, understood, protected, and free to communicate all emotions. Take control of your happiness, replace anxiety with peace of mind, navigate relationship issues, improve your parenting toolbox, make tough decisions, and take control of the emotional rollercoaster. Your life is a journey not a destination, it helps to sit in the driver's seat.

I provide therapy with individuals from various socio-economic, cultural, ethnic, educational and other diversified backgrounds. With over 18 years’ experience in the mental health field, I provide support and practical feedback to help you effectively address the challenges you are facing in your life. With compassion and understanding, I work with you to help you build on your strengths and attain the personal growth you are committed to accomplishing. Much of my job is to ask you questions you may not have asked yourself, to help you think about yourself and your problems in a new way.

MEN - We're expected to juggle a lot: work, school, relationships, our health, stress, you name! And, those things aren’t suppose to bother us. For a time we can handle just about anything thrown at us and not be phased...till we can't. The facade can only go on for a little while, then, our masks begin to crack. At least that's my story! How about yours? We look one way, feel another, all while stuffing what's really going on deep down and out of sight. We WILL begin to unravel and that’s when we turn to things that help us numb and check-out. In retrospect, those things worked well but now they're just us causing more problems.

Accepting New Clients! Our career counseling and therapy services provide a safe, authentic, empathetic and respectful environment for you to process, heal, transform, rebuild and grow. While job satisfaction and career achievements motivate personal ambitions, today's workplaces still foster ample opportunities for your needs and goals to remain unmet. However, help for navigating employment and small business challenges is available! Listening to you - your voice, perceptions, beliefs and story - is critical for successful treatment. I engage. Expressions, emotions, gestures and behaviors are never unnoticed. I can help!

Clients come to me because they struggle with anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, feeling lost and being stuck in patterns they don't like. Many experienced childhood trauma that has hurt their sense of self. Others come for support during life transitions or because they are grieving. I work with couples and adult family members who have a fear of conflict and tend to give up what they need in their relationships, and also those who fight easily and find conflict escalates quickly.

In a world that's more connected than ever, many of us are experiencing a growing sense of disconnection, overwhelm, and discontent. Inundated by endless information and the pressures of daily life, we often struggle to find space to process our own thoughts and feelings. By learning to set boundaries and consciously deciding where to invest our mental energy, we can start to rediscover ourselves. Through this journey, we can cultivate a deeper sense of authenticity, wholeness, and joy in our lives.

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 do not believe it is an accident that you are here right now. I do not believe it is a coincidence either. My journey has led me to this place at this point in time. My journey has included thousands of clinical hours helping people all over the world overcome real life battles. I have learned something new from every person that I have met and I will share what I know for sure. I know that you face difficult challenges every day. I know that you feel that there is no place in this world where you actually fit.

Immediate Availability! I am a licensed therapist with many years of experience in both acute inpatient and traditional outpatient settings. I graduated from Lipscomb University with my Master's in Clinical Mental Health Counseling in 2014. My mission in my career is to walk alongside you on your journey towards healing and growth. I seek to form collaborative and trusting relationships with my clients, and I believe that every single person makes sense in light of their own story. Your story is unique, and you are brave for owning your truth!

Life is hard and we are all trying to heal from someone or something. The therapeutic process is the greatest gift you could give yourself or your child. We have one life, we are all learning daily and we are in this together. We have a deep passion for children, adolescents and families who have come from hard places and spaces.

It's my belief that within relationships we are both hurt and healed. I practice from a relational approach, specifically Attachment Theory. Attachment shapes how we view ourselves and others, and influences how we "do" close relationships. We may unconsciously carry feelings of anxiety, pain, humiliation, or even abandonment from our relationships. For example, early childhood experiences of sexual abuse, neglect, grief, loss, or vicarious trauma impact one's perception of safety and security. As a result, we may find it difficult to form satisfactory relationships in adulthood. Navigating through this process alone can be hard.Thankfully, you don't have to do it alone.

Often life can bring us down, make us anxious, cause distress or create confusion. Many times, we manage on our own or with friends or family. Sometimes life "overflows” and even with a support system it’s difficult to manage! Are you feeling that "overflowing" feeling? It's difficult to decide if the issue you are facing requires counseling, but reaching out and asking the question is the first step to making a positive change. I work with you to develop a strong relationship, build trust, and create lasting change in your life..

Now accepting new clients! I am a counselor and life coach for adults, as well as an advocate working with schools on behalf of kids with special needs. I serve the communities of Franklin, Cool Springs and Brentwood TN. With an abundance of life experience, it is my hope to walk with you through life's challenges whether they be family related, relationships, marriage, career, child rearing, illness, divorce, grief or any combination of these. I also diagnose and treat ADHD, Borderline Personality Disorder, Bi-Polar, Dissociative Identity Disorder, Anxiety, Depression, and other disorders.

I have always said a willing client is my favorite kind of client. It is likely you do not want to feel unwanted emotions, you don't even have to engage in self-improvement but the question is... are you willing to take a leap of faith towards personal healing?
