Therapists in Sumner County, TN

I work with clients on a wide variety of issues, always with the intention of increasing wellbeing and helping clients find meaning in their experience . Setting goals for therapy in collaboration with my clients is an essential part of my approach. In therapy, I try to integrate many aspects of human experience, and draw on my own wide range of life and professional experiences, including work as a teacher, living abroad, and my professional experience as a practicing attorney for more than a decade. I am supervised by Corinne Webster, PhD.

Unresolved childhood trauma, neglect, and attachment disorders can turn into long-lasting mental health challenges well into adulthood. Without proper treatment and support, childhood adversities can lead to feelings of unworthiness, hopelessness, helplessness, mood and personality disorders, relationship issues, and a range of other maladaptive and compulsive addictive behaviors in adulthood. Addressing childhood adversities through effective therapies can empower individuals to overcome their mental health challenges and have a chance of living a healthier and more fulfilling life.

ADHD can stifle our productivity while crushing our self-esteem. Addiction keeps us in bondage to that which will never truly satisfy. And marital and family relationships that were supposed to serve as secure bases can quickly become sources of tremendous pain and distress. You've tried to overcome these issues on your own but to no avail; you feel stuck and as though you've run out of options. But there is hope!

If you have addiction, alcohol use, or anger management issues due to trauma and PTSD or family dysfunction, you may have experienced judgement & painful perceptions from others that are just not true.

Bipolar Disorder, Borderline Personality (BPD), and Dual Diagnosis, may have been words thrown around, causing relational issues. These may be part of your story, but there's more in store for you through the healing work of counseling. You deserve a life of connection, serenity, and meaning. Let's begin!

I believe that it is in allowing space for our experiences of our full humanity that we realize that at our most fundamental level our essence is actually good and true.

I am a friendly, empathetic, and encouraging mental health professional who utilizes many skills and techniques to help clients achieve their goals.

I am thrilled to introduce myself as a trauma-informed therapist, dedicated to providing compassionate and effective care to those in need. My approach is deeply rooted in the understanding that trauma can have a profound impact on an individual's mental, emotional, and physical well-being, and that healing requires a holistic and empathetic response. Throughout my career, I have worked with a diverse range of clients, each with their unique experiences, backgrounds, and needs. I have come to appreciate the importance of cultural humility, and I strive to create a safe and inclusive space for all.

I believe that true mastery of ourselves is within each and every one of us. Each person is unique, meaning we all have something to offer the world. Sometimes it is a matter of getting out of your own way just to see how unique we really are. I have years of experience working with people with a wide range of challenges. We will collaboratively work to utilize your strengths and enhance your coping skills. I work with each individual in addressing their primary challenges by constructing an individual goal plan that is in accordance with conquering your biggest challenges, while becoming the best version of yourself.

At times we all experience difficulty adjusting to life changes, feeling trapped in negative relationships (self, family, peers, partner), challenged with low self confidence, lack of boundaries, low mood, and overwhelming anxiety. Or perhaps reenacting past traumas or learned patterns of dysfunction. If you are stuck and not moving forward, then I encourage you to pursue this next step. It is time for self care. With me you will experience a warm, welcoming, and safe environment. It is important that you feel comfortable and empowered throughout this growing process.

I have loved being a therapist for 16+ years. I specialize in anxiety (panic attacks, stress and daily worry), self-esteem and relationship issues (getting into one, deciding to get out of one or trying to help your current romantic or family relationships). It is such joy to make an impact in someone's life. I think that is something my clients would say about me - I want to help them make changes that will aid them in having the life they have always wanted. I also am a life coach.

Grief and heartbreak are part of life, but right now, you might be feeling like it's all too much to bear. You don't have to figure it all out on your own. I can help. Perhaps you or someone close to you is coping with a terminal illness or you're struggling after a loved one's death. Maybe you are experiencing another heartbreak, perhaps caused by a relationship or a trauma. Or, maybe you are struggling to find ways to love and accept yourself in a world that makes you feel less than.

On the surface, you appear to have it all- successful career, a loving partner, and a circle of supportive friends. However, beneath the exterior lies a profound sense of inner turmoil and emotional distress. You have been struggling with chronic anxiety, and experiencing debilitating panic attacks that leave you feeling overwhelmed and out of control. You want to feel more secure, in control, and present in your everyday life. I can help foster a safe warm environment where we can work together to navigate your journey to healing and becoming a happier version of you!
