Great to meet you!

First, a question: Does it seem like it's all just too much? Be honest. If your answer is yes, you've come to the right place. I've spent years working with veterans and the military, and I've helped many hundreds of clients navigate stressors, from the unimaginable to the ordinary. In my experience as a therapist, what clients want is to find a way through the difficulty and madness in order to build, or rebuild, a life they recognize built on meaning and purpose. They are stuck, and they want to get unstuck.

My approach to therapy

I help clients confront and address the overwhelming stressors that have led them away from their preferred path in life. I enjoy assisting clients as they rediscover their values, develop new tools and insights, and engage in committed action. I utilize a number of different evidence-based approaches to therapy. In other words, I do therapy that works.

What you can expect from me

Perhaps you're feeling lost or as if you're stuck in a hole. You are not alone, and you deserve to have hope that things can change for the better. They can. For anyone who's stuck - creatively, psychologically, emotionally or spiritually - I can help. I'm accepting new clients and would love to hear from you. Please don't hesitate to reach out. Please call 615-709-5702 or email [email protected]. I respond to all inquiries within 48 hours.
