Harpeth Family Therapy

My clients describe me as authentic, caring, and creative. I utilize an integrated approach to counseling, drawing on ideas from the person-centered, psychodynamic, experiential, cognitive behavioral, family systems, internal family systems, and play therapy traditions. I particularly enjoy working with young people and their families, with neurodiverse people of all ages, ADHD moms and women, people with a wide array of (dis)abilities, and clients/families experiencing a medical crisis or chronic condition. After working as a school-based therapist in an MNPS middle school, I will always have a heart for anyone dealing with these awkward years, as students themselves or parents. My lived experience as a single mom to both disabled and typically-developing kids/teens and being an ADHD-er myself informs my work as well. 

​

I've got two kids, two dogs, and two cats and over 20 years of experience working with children and their families in a variety of settings. I would be honored to work with you and yours.  

​

I have my Master of Divinity degree from Emory University and a Master of Arts in Mental Health Counseling/ Marriage & Family Therapy from Belmont. I have completed Onsite's Experiential Therapy Training Institute and received additional training in play therapy, internal family systems, sand tray, short-term cognitive behavioral therapy for suicide prevention, and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT). I'm a Marriage & Family Therapist licensed by the state of Tennessee (#2179).
