In addition, I offer Somatic- and Attachment-Focused EMDR which is an integrative psychotherapy approach to address trauma among other concerns.
As a therapist, I approach our work together with warmth and curiosity. I seek to nurture a holding space that feels safe to address whatever unique concerns you bring, starting with your present concerns and also facilitating interest in your deeper self. I believe each of us has the courage to successfully navigate the change that we seek, and I consider it a privilege to walk alongside you in that endeavor. I enjoy working with adults dealing with life transitions, grief and loss, family of origin concerns, relationship issues, trauma, and anxiety among other concerns.

Since I believe that therapy is a dynamic, individualized process, I have been trained in and use a variety of modalities in my practice: Talk therapy, EMDR, Brainspotting, Psychodrama, Gestalt, EFT Tapping, Matrix Reimprinting, AIT, Adventure Therapy Experiential Therapy and Sound Bath.
Sometimes life can feel overwhelming or just plain hard. Do you need someone to walk with you on your individual journey toward healing? If you struggle with affects of trauma, reactivity to difficult life events or people, relationship issues, feeling stuck, self criticism, emotional turmoil, codependency, burn out, or transition, I'd like to face it with you. Together we can look at your challenges and approach them in ways that feel right to you. It's never too late to move toward having the life you really want.

I am also trained in EMDR and certified in DBT.
My clients are often those struggling with anxiety, self-worth, and life transitions/adjustments. I also have particular specialities and experience with grief, substance addictions or those who are the loved one of a person with addictions, and trauma. When you read the word "trauma" it doesn't have to mean only abuse, car accidents, etc. There are various stressful life experiences that register as trauma, such as divorce, neglect/abandonment, health related issues and diagnoses, miscarriages, and many more. All that is needed from you is a desire to be present in the counseling space. The rest we walk through together.

I am trained in EMDR, Brainspotting, and Integrative Mental Health Counseling.
Have you lost someone you love through death or other means? Is it now difficult to navigate life? Are you now questioning your beliefs? Others may not understand how deeply this loss impacts you. Perhaps you feel that you don't have time or permission to grieve. Often, those who are experiencing grief feel immobilized, struggle to complete day-to-day tasks, and fear the future. Some feel immense anger or have trouble feeling anything at all. Frequently, we feel alone, isolated with our loss. As a survivor myself, I can relate. Grief can feel as if your entire world has shattered. I can help you regroup and pick up the pieces.

As a body neutral pilates teacher and an EMDR trained clinical social worker, I decided to bring my work home to Tennessee because I saw a need for approachable, culturally conscious, and relatable therapeutic care that treats the whole person, not just a set of symptoms.
I'm passionate about helping all individuals, particularly women, teens, and LGBTQ+, develop introspective compassion for themselves that they can turn into action. I'm laid back, curse a lot, and love to laugh with my clients. If you're the type of person who has been skeptical about therapy, we'll probably get along great.

EMDR Therapists
Who is EMDR for?
EMDR was initially developed as a treatment for individuals with Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), for whom memories of a deeply distressing experience can be inadvertently triggered by random everyday events. The procedure has since been applied in the treatment of many other conditions. For example, it is used by some therapists to treat anxiety disorders including panic and phobias, depression, dissociative disorders, eating disorders, obsessive-compulsive disorders, and some personality disorders. It is suitable for adolescents and adults.
Why do people need EMDR?
People need EMDR as a way to manage distressing memories that in some way hamper the ability to function in the present. The procedure is believed to target the way memories are stored in the brain. Evidence indicates that past disturbing experiences cause ongoing distress because they were not adequately processed, and when such memories are triggered in the present, they are accompanied by all the emotions, thoughts, and physical sensations as the initial experience.
What problems does EMDR treat?
First and foremost, EMDR is intended as a treatment for PTSD, to defuse distressing memories that intrude on and impair everyday functioning. It is also often used to help those who are subject to panic attacks, phobias, and other forms of anxiety. In addition, EMDR has been used to treat individuals with depression, eating disorders, and personality disorders.
What happens in EMDR therapy?
First the therapist takes an individual’s history, and then the therapist and client decide which distressing experience(s) will be the target(s) of the exercise, delivered via a side-to-side visual stimulus requiring lateral eye movements. The client will be asked to activate thoughts, feelings, and any body sensations related to the troubling experience. The eye movements are said to reduce the emotional charge of the memory, so that the experience can then be safely discussed with the therapist and digested, minimizing its ability to trigger anxiety.
