Is this you?
Exhausted from anxiety, overthinking, and the need to stay busy or in control.
You replay conversations.
You scan for danger.
You question yourself.
You're trying to relax, but your mind won't slow down.
Maybe achievement was how you earned value or attention. Maybe you grew up somewhere unpredictable, and learned to anticipate problems and stay on guard. Maybe your feelings were dismissed, avoided or swept under the rug, and now you’re unsure what you feel, or how to connect with yourself.
You want to enjoy your life, let go of the little things, and finally feel at peace.
In our time together we won’t simply work out the symptoms. We’ll work beneath your symptoms, getting to the root and source of what’s driving these struggles so you can begin to create meaningful, lasting change.

Two ways forward
Therapy or coaching, same guide, same depth.
Both start from the same place: active, intentional work that looks at the whole picture, not just the symptoms. The difference is which path fits where you live and what you’re ready for.
Therapy
Clinical treatment, available to Tennessee residents. Billed through insurance or private pay.
Coaching
The same depth of guidance, available nationwide. Private-pay only.
The rates are the same either way — see Session Rates for the details.

Let’s be clear
This is not a quick fix.
You may have had therapy where your therapist asks questions and listens. This is different.
Not a listening ear.
Direction, and a hand on the wheel.
Not managing symptoms.
Healing the life underneath them.
Not figuring it out alone.
Led through the work, step by step.
Not fixed as fast as possible.
Slowed down, so the change lasts.
We’ll create the space to understand what’s really happening beneath the surface, and give the work the time it deserves.

What to expect
How this works, practically.
First session: at your own pace, exploring your story in a way that’s most comfortable for you.
Sessions are 50–60 minutes long.
Clinical therapy: currently available to Tennessee residents. Coaching: available nationwide.
Weekly sessions recommended for the first 6 months.
Telehealth only. Meet from the comfort and privacy of your own home.

I rely less on traditional therapy techniques and more on guiding clients toward a deeper exploration of their own lives.
