The Most Powerful Gift You Can Give Your Family Is A Mother Who Prioritizes Her Own Wellbeing

My Approach

My counseling practice is distinguished by my comprehensive approach, where I skillfully integrate a range of therapies such as CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy), EMDR (Eye-Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), EFIT (Emotionally Focused Individual Therapy), Narrative Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy. I tailor my approach to each client's needs, always considering their faith-based perspective, if desired, to provide a holistic and personalized counseling experience.

Credentials

I hold a Licensed Professional Counselor – Mental Health Service Provider (LPC-MHSP) license in Tennessee and a Certified Professional Life Coach (CPLC) certification through the Institute of Life Coach Training. My clinical training is further supported by advanced certifications in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), EFT (Emotionally Focused Therapy), and CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy) - evidence-based approaches I draw upon to help clients navigate anxiety, trauma, and relationship challenges with confidence and lasting results.

My Story

My journey from being an elementary school teacher to a dedicated counselor and coach was fueled by my deep commitment to addressing the social and emotional needs of my students and their families. Having experienced the challenges of frequent relocation as a former Navy wife, my family and I finally found a place to call home in the vibrant Nashville area in 2012.

Beyond Counseling

I cherish spending quality time with my husband and two young adult children when I'm not working. I find joy in long walks with friends, embarking on new adventures (now that I'm an empty nester), experimenting with new recipes, rooting for Auburn football, and creating warm and uplifting dinner gatherings filled with love, laughter, and cherished connections.
