Finding it difficult to cope? Experiencing problems in your most significant relationships? Facing a crisis or loss? Feeling stressed out, burnt out, maxed out, out of ideas, out of it? Help is available! I'm a licensed psychotherapist in Tennessee, California, Florida, and Massachusetts. I have over 20 years of experience helping individuals, couples & families find solutions that are right for them! I offer a safe, supportive, confidential place to find answers and make changes that heal! Don't go through the hard times in life alone--everyone needs help sometimes. You deserve to be your best you!

I believe that humans are capable of healing and growth when we are given space to be seen, heard, and fully accepted. I hope that through our work together, you will find the freedom to live your life bravely and embrace who you are.
 A question that guides my approach to therapy is: “How do your past experiences, trauma, and heartache impact your life today?” The answer to that question is an invitation to heal past wounds and find more peace in the present.

There is nothing more difficult than struggling and not knowing where to turn for help. I would be honored to come alongside you as you navigate this process. I work with teens (12 and up) and adults who are experiencing eating disorders/disordered eating, body image issues, anxiety/OCD, depression, and PTSD. It is my goal to help you transform trauma into wisdom, author new stories, and assist you in tapping into your inherent resilience, strength, and worthiness. It is my belief that all of us are capable of healing and recovery, of becoming our truest, most beautiful selves.

This quote holds a powerful message to those interested in a therapeutic relationship.

Are you feeling stuck in life? Do you feel like you continue to struggle with the same issues time and time again? Do your relationships always seem to end the same way? Life can be turbulent, and we can often feel like we keep running into the same difficulties or relationship issues. My goal is to walk alongside you to help you gain a deeper awareness of self and step into a happier, more fulfilled self. I provide Christian therapy services for individuals, couples, and families of all ages.

Isolated? Fearful? Tired of doing it alone? It's a new day, and I can help. I adhere to the belief that nobody's story is too painful to be heard or healed-even yours. With an emphasis on empowering my clients for long-term change, I have helped hundreds of people coping with trauma, grief/loss and painful relationship patterns to achieve lasting change. I would be honored to help you too. I am the author of Trauma Intelligence and offer trauma and grief recovery workshops for organizations.

I primarily work with individuals with histories of complex or developmental trauma, as well as acute trauma. I appreciate working with people struggling with or recovering from disordered eating, body images issues, or diet culture. I frequently work with anxiety and worry, and have experience working specifically with health anxiety and panic. I welcome anyone who feels hesitant (or maybe even skeptical!) towards their emotions or therapy; often, our greatest fears and desires are hiding under ambivalence and doubt, and I love treading into those waters with people.

I work collaboratively with my clients to empower them to take control back in their lives, gain insight into who they are and how they are functioning, and to make changes that will last a lifetime. It is important to feel heard, understood, validated, and safe when discussing personal issues and concerns. I provide an atmosphere of trust and support that allows my clients to explore, discover, grow, and implement effective tools and strategies to improve their life and their well-being and to break free from the destructive patterns and behaviors that have kept them stuck. You are worth it, and you deserve it.

You're here. You've taken the first step. And it's a big one. It's a brave one. The pain of broken relationships, life-transitions, loneliness, or feelings of unworthiness can cause us to forgot who (and sometimes, why) we are. Therapy is a tool that can help you change your life, build confidence, and live a life you long for and deserve. I believe in the process because I’ve seen it work - being in a safe space with someone you can tell your vulnerable story to is transformative. With empathy at the heart of my practice, my mission is to understand where you are to help you land in the place you want to be. On your terms.

Thank you for your interest in my practice. Choosing the right therapist is an important decision. Research shows that the therapeutic relationship is one of the strongest predictors of successful treatment, more so than the techniques or modalities utilized. There is bravery in seeking support, and a critical component in growth is being honest with ourselves about strengths, struggles, and goals. Many clients seek therapy with me to work on issues relating to anxiety, depression, substance use, trauma, relationship conflicts, communication, boundary setting, emotional expression, and general life difficulties.

Life is a gift that brings many joyful opportunities AND it also brings times of pain, suffering and added pressure. Perhaps you've found it harder to enjoy the blessings of life lately because of a hard transition, a difficult relationship or a traumatic event. Perhaps you've found yourself using destructive habits to cope with the stress such as dysfunctional eating, excessive alcohol use, perfectionism or isolation. Perhaps you're very hard on yourself and have a very loud inner critic in your head, and part of the struggle is negative body image. And perhaps you also want support from a spiritual perspective.

Discretion, trust, and a sense of safety are paramount for successful therapy. Working with couples, individuals, and families, my goal is to provide an environment of privacy and safety. Those who participate in therapy find that it can be the impetus for improvement in every area of life. I discreetly work with those with high public profiles in areas that include marriage counseling, anxiety, self-esteem/confidence, depression, attachment wounds, trauma, and relationship distress.Many, whom have not considered systemic therapy previously often experience improved relationships in every aspect of their lives, including individuals in executive leadership and upper management positions, as well as entrepreneurs.

Therapy is more than talking about the past. It is a safe, non-judgmental atmosphere in which past hurts are resolved and healing takes place. Traumatic experiences can serve as blocks, preventing present and future peace.  At Wilkinson Family Therapy, we enjoy connecting with our clients as they travel along their journey. Through intentionality and training, we create a comfortable, supportive space for our clients to grow and process their experiences.

So you want something to change? What's standing in your way? Maybe you have experienced trauma or loss, or you find yourself in relationships that cost you more than you get in return. Maybe your partner, family, or child is struggling and you are looking for a way to help without getting lost yourself? Therapy can help you discover new truths about your situation, bringing you clarity and direction. With over 10 years in the mental health community, I have seen people find new hope and healing through the introspective and transforming work of therapy, all in pursuit of a life that is deeply satisfying.

Welcome- I’m so glad you’re here! Are you or your teen struggling with sadness, worry, fear, life transitions, or a trauma history that continues to reappear? You’re not alone. Life can feel overwhelming, challenging, and even unfulfilling at times. As a result, your relationships and overall quality of life can suffer. I am confident in our ability to join together to construct goals that meet your needs, utilize your natural strengths to make positive changes, and ultimately improve daily functioning.

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.

Do you have ADHD or struggle with neurodivergence? Does high stress or low self-esteem push you to be a perfectionist?

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.
