About My Clients
Clients seeking assistance with facing the difficult aspects of their life who believe that "the only way out is through" will benefit from my training in trauma-specific treatments such as Brainspotting and other various modalities including CBT, DBT, and attachment-based therapy approaches. Clients who are ready to face the discomfort of changing rather than remaining stuck continually inspire me with their bravery and resilience.
My Background and Approach
I am a native Nashvillian who has been practicing for over two decades in various treatment environments. I have experience working with individuals and families in psychiatric hospitals, co-occurring recovery programs, and a maximum security prison. I have worked as an individual & group therapist, family educator and counselor, and clinical director for a mental health residential facility. In the last year I have received advanced training in Brainspotting, a trauma-specific treatment similar to EMDR. Using Brainspotting, I have witnessed clients achieve healing around issues such as childhood abuse/neglect, death of loved ones, miscarriages, and sexual traumas. I also have extensive experience with addiction and codependency issues.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I believe in the inherent worth of all people. I believe love is love. I support freedom, equality, and justice against all forms of oppression and tyranny. I am an ally of the LGBTQIA+ and BLM communities. I also have 3 fur babies who sometimes function as as co-therapists in my Telehealth sessions.
