We serve individuals and couples in their journey toward self-discovery, self-acceptance, development or betterment of relationships, and healing.

Our approach is very client-centered, integrating Experiential, Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Behavioral, Trauma-focused (when appropriate), & Solution-Focused modalities. Clinicians who specialize in Non-Traditional Relationships, Complex Trauma, Family Therapy, PMDD, and other niche specialities are available.

I enjoy working with individuals and couples who are suffering from the effects of trauma and attachment wounds. I love joining with families and children who are facing behavioral challenges and helping them to grieve, problem-solve, and begin enjoying each other again. My experience as an in-home therapist and clinical supervisor for children who are at risk of being removed from their home has given me a wealth of experience and tools to share with families and I am willing to coach parents and children in the home when needed.

Trauma and other developmental wounds often show up as anxiety, depression, personality disorders, and a variety of diagnoses. At The Village of Kairos, our therapists are master-doctoral practitioners specializing in trauma-focused therapies and interventions so that our clients find hope, help, and how-to's in order to build a life worth living.

It's hard to get through this life without our fair share of hurts and hang ups. We often find ways to cope that work for a while, but may not be the best for us in the long run. If that sounds like you, I would be honored to work with you to find better solutions, based upon sound psychological research, that can lead to permanent change. While I work with a variety of presenting issues, I specialize in sexual addictions, trauma, relationship issues, and increasing emotional intelligence.

I have been a Licensed Professional Counselor since 2010. Prior to this I worked at Children's Services, a domestic violence shelter, child advocacy center, etc. I have dealt with abuse/ sex abuse, neglect, hurt, loss, etc. I worked in both the social service side and juvenile delinquent side with kids/ teens ages 0-19 mostly, and their parents, relatives, foster families, etc. I have dealt a lot with kids in the educational system and know the resources to link them to if needed. I believe that one of the most important needs is trusting the counselor. The age group I am mainly seeing in my practice at this time is 12 and up.

There was a time that I was so desperate to make my own marriage work that I went back to school to become a Marriage & Family Therapist. I, then, spent the next decade researching human connection. Not only did this research save my own marriage, I have now helped thousands of couples develop a connection that they didn't think was possible.

Specializing in supporting men, couples, and teens (16+) through life's challenges, I focus on trauma, relationship issues, addiction, grief, parenting, and school-related concerns. I offer a unique blend of empathy, expertise, and evidence-based techniques to help you thrive. I taught high school science for 15 years before moving into counseling, so I have a unique understanding of how teens operate, how family dynamics change over time, and how complicated life can feel at times. I'm here to get you where you want to be.

I provide individual and group therapy for adults navigating life transitions, coping with health challenges, and desiring to live more fully. Whether you are at the beginning, stuck in the messy middle, or yearning for closure, I am ready to work with you to achieve your goals. You don't have to know the answers. All you have to do is be willing to show up and believe that change is possible. Together, through inquiry and with curiosity, we will engage in a dynamic, collaborative process to achieve clarity and lasting change. I will help you take meaningful action in your life.

If you need to talk to someone, don't wait. I am a licensed clinical social worker with over 30 yrs experience working with children, teens, families and adults of all ages specializing in treating a variety of issues including addictions, anxiety, depression, behavior problems, bipolar disorder, struggling teens, couples and adults of all ages. I am taking new clients by telehealth and in-person in the Nashville/Franklin/Springhill area. Let's get started today!

You may be struggling with a life transition, anxiety, depression, fears, or a trauma history that keeps resurfacing. You deserve a break. You deserve to be free and "un-stuck". It's time for you to take some time for yourself, make some changes, move forward, and live up to your potential. I am interested in your goals, where you are now, and how to help you get where you'd like to go.

As humans, we develop physically, emotionally, spiritually, and relationally throughout our lives. During our life our development becomes tested by typical and/or atypical challenges. How we respond to these challenges impacts our continued growth. I love working with people across the lifespan addressing these challenges during which learning, growth, and empowerment stem. I have a particular interest in working with children, adolescents, and young adults in their process of ‘becoming’.

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.

Do you feel overwhelmed? Like you know that you were created for more in this life, but don't know where to begin? I understand. In today's world, our margins are thin, our spirits can feel defeated, and in the end, we suffer. As a counselor I provide a safe, private environment for growth and exploration, to help you not only survive, but thrive. I will help you with a plan for the life you want, based on your values and purpose. I am here to help you restore hope while providing tools that can lead to new possibilities. Together, we will fight the distractions in your way so you are free to become the best version of you!
