Therapists in Franklin, TN

Have you ever felt like you are stuck in the same patterns and nothing seems to change them? I have the passion, expertise and great responsibility of coming along-side teens, couples, and victims of trauma who want to get "un-stuck". I respect the uniqueness of each client I work with and I have hope for them. I have over 10 years of experience working with families, couples, and teens. It would be my privilege to work with you to encounter hope, growth, unity and a healthy balance in your personal life and in your relationships.

Do you have ADHD or struggle with neurodivergence? Does high stress or low self-esteem push you to be a perfectionist? Does PTSD, trauma, anxiety, or the feeling of not being ENOUGH keep you up at night? Whatever you're going through, it's possible to leverage your strengths and feel confident in your life again. Together, we can create the life of your dreams, without changing who you are or what you've been through. Your work, relationships, and self-confidence are worth it.

My passion is to work with those who are experiencing symptoms of ADHD, anxiety, and trauma. Maybe it’s that you struggle remembering things or feel you should be able to do more. Maybe you feel a pressure to keep pushing and achieving to a higher level. You can’t quite seem to say no to everything, so your schedule is full and there’s no room to breathe. Things keep feeling heavier and heavier. We all need some extra help to organize and unravel our stories. I’m here to help you navigate the overwhelming emotions and burdens you find you’ve picked up along the way. Together, we can dig as deeply as you choose.

I work with neurodivergent teens and adults (Autism and ADHD) as well was a wide range of clients who have experienced trauma, issues in their family dynamic, communication, peer groups, self-esteem, and relationships. I am most passionate about working with individuals as they explore the deep parts of themselves and uncover new insights. Many of my clients work to improve relationships, gain tools and strategies for day to day struggles, and explore, process, and find healing from past traumas and old wounds.

Currently accepting new clients. Let’s cut to the chase, I help people who are looking for self-growth, who want their relationships to improve, who are exploring ADHD issues, and people who want to figure out how to heal from hardship/trauma. We work together to discover the things that are getting in your way of reaching the goals and changes you want. Whether it’s a traumatic experience, toxic relationships, dealing with a beast of an inner critic, or uncertainty of what the problem even is, we will figure it out together.

After a brief stint as a touring musician and 20 years in the equipment finance industry, I finally found my perfect work-fit: helping families find healing from previous hurts, cope and move through current life difficulties, and prepare for a healthy future. I work with children and young adults who are dealing with trauma, ADHD, anxiety, depression, and grief/loss. As a parent, myself, I understand that when our children struggle, we struggle as well. So, I provide support to parents who are navigating difficult challenges with their children.

In our journey through life, we encounter times that are tough to navigate. It could be a fresh challenge that appears out of nowhere or an old emotional wound that requires healing. Sometimes, we need a place to share our thoughts, feelings, and emotions freely. That's where counseling steps in as a valuable tool. I see it as a way to guide and support your personal growth and healing, helping you move forward.

Let's not say "therapy," let's call it what it is - developing Emotional Intelligence. Emotional Intelligence is the key to a positive lifestyle. You are not born with Emotional Intelligence, nor does it come naturally. It is a skill that develops over time. Throughout our life, we are exposed to stress, adverse events and life-changing situations. These experiences add up, accumulate, get filed away in our minds; only to arise at the most inconvenient times, impacting our ability to function with everyday life. Having a strong Emotional Intelligence helps you manage and get your life back on track.

In a world where career demands overshadow personal fulfillment, you may find yourself at a crossroad. For the dedicated spouse of a high-powered executive, it’s about rediscovering identity beyond family life or rekindling a relationship overshadowed by a demanding career. For the high-achieving professional, it's the struggle to maintain a sense of well-being amid work pressures. It's about finding peace and fulfillment where they seem most elusive. You need a therapeutic approach that not only comprehends the unique dynamics of your professional and personal life but also speaks the language of your daily experiences.
