Trauma Focused Therapists in Germantown, TN
When I start working with a new client, often I’m told my unique approach feels refreshing. I don’t just ask, “how does that make you feel,” without challenging you to think about, “what do you want to do about it?” My ideal client is tired of the status quo. I work with people who want to learn about how to sustain their mental well-being after my services have ended. I teach my clients what I know so they can identify their needs, develop their principles, and feel like they can handle life’s challenges. I will help you build skills and uncover your true self.

Some need trauma focused sessions to reconcile their past.
Think you’ll never recover from your trauma? Feel exhausted and constantly triggered? Painful or tragic experiences can get stuck on replay in our heads. After something like that (childhood/adult abuse, fire, flood, tornado grief, etc) we change the way we see the other people, the world in general but especially how we see ourselves. It all gets twisted. And there are ways to untwist the impact of trauma. I am sometimes away with American Red Cross volunteering in Disaster Mental Health.

When life becomes overwhelming, sometimes we're left feeling alone and adrift. My goal is to provide a safe and supportive space where my clients can feel heard, understood, and accepted. Through our time together, my clients are able to find their footing and feel on solid ground again. From addressing school/job related stress to navigating symptoms of trauma and anxiety, it is a privilege to walk alongside my clients in their healing journey.

With all the challenges that we are facing in our world today, mental health is more important now than ever. Too often, people are riddled with anxiety, grief, and past traumas that prevent them from becoming their best selves. There are some who even feel like they have lost touch with their inner authentic selves, and have trouble being dedicated to their faith while seeking help. My goal is to help those that are in need of finding the balance needed to create a life worth living. Together, we can overcome anxiety, grief and much more, by taking care of both your mental and spiritual health.

As a therapist I strive to provide a safe and nurturing space where you feel free to explore what it means to be you and navigate life’s struggles without judgement. Therapy brings us to some of our most vulnerable moments, and I make it my mission that you feel heard, validated, and free to discover, maybe for the first time or perhaps again, who you are and/or who you’d like to become. I help clients navigate ways to improve their lives while also treating trauma-related issues, grief, relational and interpersonal challenges, family of origin issues, depression, and anxiety.

"We are born in relationship. We grow in relationship. We are wounded in relationship. And we are healed in relationship." - Harville Hendrix. Therapy can benefit us in many ways including feeling heard, growing in self awareness, and healing from adversity life throws at us. It is also a great place to learn compassion for ourselves and empathy for others in our lives. As a therapist, I believe people are relational creatures. We can thrive or suffer greatly depending upon the quality of our relationships with God, others, and ourselves.

I began practicing outpatient mental health in 2010 working with individuals struggling with depression, anxiety disorders, bipolar disorder, co-occurring substance use, trauma and borderline personality disorder. Clients often want to feel better, and I enjoy coming alongside to understand what feeling better means for each person, what are their hopes and dreams, and how can we partner together to achieve those dreams. Sometimes, that means needing to heal from past hurts. Sometimes that means learning how to navigate shame, anxiety, depression that keeps one in bed, or anger that comes out in unhelpful ways.

You keep trying to get it together but it just seems like it is never enough. You lost your keys again for what seems to be the millionth time and can never seem to put them in the same spot. You get lost in thought and lose track of time and now you are late for work or school again. It's hard to focus or sit still long enough to complete one task. You have a lot of great ideas but just can't seem to make them happen. Sometimes you have a burst of energy and can get a lot done at once but that never seems to last. You wonder if maybe you are just lazy or stupid. It's depressing to think that life might always be this way.

Do you ever feel like you just can’t win? Life throws curveballs, generally at the most inconvenient times, that would be difficult for anyone to navigate. Maybe it leads to conflict with your loved ones. Maybe you don’t know how to cope so you resort to alcohol or drugs. Maybe you feel like you don’t have a voice or like your voice doesn’t matter. Maybe you struggle to get out of bed because you can’t find motivation to make it through the day. Maybe you can’t focus because you're too busy creating worst-case scenarios in your head or you're stuck in the past. Maybe you’re just trying to figure out who you are, and that’s okay.

Do you overthink — everything? Are you your own harshest critic? Perhaps it feels more comfortable to have attention and focus on others instead of yourself? It is hard work to keep looking like you’ve got it all together as life has gotten increasingly stressful. I help individuals 16 and up navigate anxiety, life transitions, and people-pleasing, especially those who have a natural tendency to care for others.
