Integrative therapy in Franklin, TN
You’ve tried everything you can think of to feel better, but nothing’s sticking.
It’s time for therapy that starts with you. Therapy that begins with respect for how you live, what you value and how your mind works, paired with proven therapy methods to create lasting change.
My integrative approach is…
Person-centered… You are the expert of your life.
Collaborative..We work together with goals that make sense.
Human…We will co-create a professional relationship built on trust and safety.
My therapy methods are:
-
Our earliest and most important relationships shape how we handle conflict, closeness, trust and emotional intimacy.
This is not about blaming your family. It’s about having a deeper understanding of yourself, and creating new possibilites for how you relate so you can have more secure, fulfilling relationships.
-
Therapy isn’t always a deep dive into your past. Sometimes it’s about looking for what’s already working, leveraging your strengths, and making changes in the here-and-now that will make your everyday life better.
-
Trauma-informed therapy recognizes that experiences of loss, instability, betrayal, chronic stress, or other overwhelming circumstances can influence how we respond to ourselves, our relationships, and the world around us.
Our work will prioritize emotional safety, choice, and helping you navigate difficult emotions and experiences using EMDR or other interventions.
So how does this work?
In our sessions…
Integration of these methods will feel seamless and fluid, not prescriptive.
Some sessions will feel deep and reflective, while others may focus on a specific decision or challenge.
I will be your guide- moving through the deep places, to the practical, and from insight to real life.
We will make room for new ways to think, feel and take action.
We will uncover patterns with curiosity and pay attention to what feels safe and right for you.
At the end of the day, I want you to know:
The goal isn't to become a different person. It's to become more fully yourself—with greater peace, connection and clarity.
How will these methods help?
My approaches can help you…
Communicate and set boundaries with kindness and purpose.
Understand the “why” of your choices.
Be less reactive in stressful moments, and more responive when it matters.
Experience true resilience, instead of always “pushing through.”
Find more grace and compassion for yourself and your shortcomings.
Feel closer and more connected to the people you love.
Understand and make sense of your confusing relationships.
Make decisions that match your values so you no longer feel like a passenger in your life.
