Brentwood & Franklin, Tennessee
A therapist for women in Williamson County.
I see women in person in Brentwood and Franklin, and by secure telehealth anywhere in Tennessee. The work is root-cause, not symptom management: EMDR, IFS, and somatic awareness, integrated into one process. Below is what I most often help with, and how getting started works locally.
What I work with
Specialties, in plain language
-
Trauma therapy & EMDR
For the experiences that still run the present from the past, single-incident trauma, childhood material, and the losses that never stopped stinging. EMDR-trained, integrated with parts and somatic work.
-
Therapy for women
For the woman everyone else leans on, carrying decades of "power through," and quietly wondering what is actually hers. Root-cause work, not stress management.
-
Midlife, perimenopause & identity
When the roles that organized your life for decades stop fitting, perimenopause rewriting your sleep and moods, an emptying nest, a marriage being renegotiated. A reckoning, worked at the root.
-
ADHD in adult women
For women recognizing, often late, that lifelong overwhelm, time-blindness, and self-criticism have a name. Assessment-informed, strengths-first, and honest about what therapy can and cannot do here.
-
Autistic-affirming therapy
For autistic and questioning women who have spent a lifetime masking. Affirming, not corrective, including autistic-affirming approaches to anxiety and OCD-pattern work (ERP).
-
Caregiving & the sandwich years
Parenting your children while your parents begin to need you, and the grief, guilt, and old family dynamics that come with it.
-
Divorce & relationship change
The end of a marriage, or the slow realization that one no longer fits, worked with clarity rather than toward a predetermined outcome.
