Core Guidance

Hello, and thank you for taking the time to learn a little about me and my work as a counseling psychologist. With my office located in Brentwood, Tennessee, I serve individual clients in the Nashville area. Attending therapy, whether it be the first time, or the first time with a new therapist, can certainly create considerable anxiety. Hopefully, in your search, you will begin to find the right therapist-client fit to meet your counseling needs. I hope this website will provide you a glimpse into my psychology practice and help you decide if making a call to set up an initial consultation or counseling appointment is your next step.

I strive to make sure all clients feel welcome, safe, and comfortable enough to talk about issues that they need to discuss and explore. The content and pace of what we discuss will be directed by you, and we will move through the process of therapy as is most comfortable and productive.

I believe that discussion centering on core issues provides the basis to work with uncomfortable emotions, symptomatic behavior, and disquieting thoughts. For some, this process may occur seamlessly. For others, talking about core issues may be unnatural, fear invoking, and something they distance themselves from. I recognize that addressing some daily challenges may not require deep self-reflection, while other issues may cause us significant disruption in our well-being. Whatever stage of life you are in, I will work within your comfort level and approach therapy in a way that best seems to fit your needs.
