If you are interested in working the deeper levels of personal growth, I specialize in Jungian dream therapy as well as teach Kundalini Yoga. Dreams are a reliable picture into the inner dynamics of the psyche whereas Kundalini Yoga focuses on changing the energetic patterns underlying emotional and mental states. This two tiered approach is highly effective for treating many forms of emotional imbalances, including trauma recovery, depression, relationship stress, anxiety, and reconnecting with authenticity and purpose.

The joy of therapy lies in tailoring my approach to fully leverage the unique strengths and skills of each individual client. I thoroughly enjoy cultivating an atmosphere of safety, encouragement, and hope for those whom I have the opportunity to serve. I endeavor to invite clients into a therapeutic relationship that enhances their ability to develop insight that leads to action.

My ideal client is helping someone who is struggling with emotional pain that may be from the result of trauma, neglect, or difficult life circumstances. For troubled youth, this might manifest as anger, defiance, or withdrawal, with a need for understanding, stability, and a safe space to express their emotions. For adults grappling with mental health issues, the struggle may involve navigating societal pressures to appear strong and unemotional, leading to feelings of isolation, anxiety, or depression. Adults also need a non-judgmental environment where they can explore their vulnerabilities and redefine their sense of self.

In session, I find that I prefer to be an active participant in the room, with openness, empathy, and humor, as well as respect for the magnificent variety in hu manity.
Immediate openings for New Clients across Tennessee! (Aetna or Self-Pay, 100% teletherapy). A good definition of life would include how one meets or exceeds each challenge along the journey. Those challenges can come in many forms, and there are times when speaking to a therapist can be of great assistance. As a therapist, my goal is to hold an emotionally safe space where any and all topics can be discussed and processed. Utilizing a client-centered and strengths-based approach, my practice is focused on helping individuals, couples and families to better themselves and increase their well-being.

I truly believe we all have within us the capacity to live a great and meaningful life. If you struggle to believe this, it is often a symptom of living life out of alignment with your core values or attunement with who you truly are. It's easy to get bogged down and covered by all the expectations and narratives placed on us from outside sources (family, work, society, etc.) and we lose ourselves in all the noise. Work with me will include slowing down, turning inward, & getting clear on what matters most to you, which will in turn influence your decision-making and shape your perspective and how you view life moving forward.

Address personal or partner difficulties in communication. Any sexuality issues? Trouble with awareness, focusing, sleeping? Interference from depression or anxiety? Where is it you, where the other? Want to relate more fully with your and their whole self--or to leave? Possible lifestyle or sexual orientation questions? Reimagine yourself after divorce, an affair or lost love. Consider a midcourse correction what you want from your life now, & rethink your current values & strengths. What to change? Which of your existing strengths to fine-tune now? What you share stays confidential, respected and nurtured.

You feel tired, overwhelmed and you wish you could shake that feeling of dread that keeps following you around. Your passions feel distant and hidden from you. You feel like everyone else has it figured out better than you and you keep catching yourself beating yourself up over it. It feels like nothing you do is good enough and you are constantly trying to keep up. You thought it would be different by now and you feel like it's your fault. You find yourself trying to numb the pain but deep down you know it's not helping. Something has to change.

Many clients seek therapy to work on issues relating to anxiety, depression, substance use, family of origin, trauma, relationship conflicts, life transition, grief, or just feeling stuck or under-motivated.
Honest self-reflection is the answer to so many of our problems. At many points throughout our lives, we learn to ease life’s burdens by shutting down, acting out, or running away in attempts to find relief. Even our most destructive coping strategies were often the best answers we could find at the time to manage our anxieties, our desires, and our pain. When we allow ourselves the opportunity to slow down and reflect on our lives, both past and present, we deepen our understanding and insight. And, as we explore our lives without moralizing and harshness, we develop genuine compassion and greater trust in ourselves.

Feeling frustrated and confused about being in the same place, again! Life was going along smoothly and then, out of nowhere life feels punishing. Barely sleeping, anxious/depressed, feeling angry, sad, and confused because even the time at home feels miserable. Your relationship is struggling, and you can’t wait to get away for the day but you also know that when you aren’t distracted, the anxious and depressed feelings are still overwhelming no matter where you go. There is still part of you that knows the past is interfering with your ability to find peace. Life can be good but you can’t seem to figure out how to get there.

As hu man beings, we need each other to grow and heal.
I work with clients wanting to heal from all kinds of painful experiences and challenges in their lives. Often what brings someone into therapy, their current struggles, are symptoms of an underlying unresolved experience which has thrown life out of balance. Anxiety and depression, for example, frequently are a pattern of being stuck in a state of imbalance, following a significant loss, heartbreak or trauma. The goal of therapy is to restore the natural integrity and balance within clients, empowering them to lead creative and fulfilling lives.

We all experience loss, but many of us fail to properly grieve.
I want to meet all my clients right where they are. I strive to welcome you as you are into my practice and will work diligently to understand your cares and concerns. Together, I am confident we can uncover the basis of your difficulties and work to help you better deal with them and whatever else may come your way. I am open to working with clients with a wide variety of issues, but I particularly enjoys working with individuals experiencing anxiety and/or depression, those experiencing grief and loss, and providing premarital counseling to couples.

Choosing a therapist is a very personal decision. Therapy is only as effective as the relationship between the therapist and client and because of this I believe the best way to determine if a therapist is right for you is to book a session and simply meet in person and to trust your instincts. My focus is to help individuals heal, energize, and become aware of their inner strengths. I achieve this by providing a neutral safe space, listening to your concerns, and customizing a treatment plan.
