Therapy for self-development in
Tennessee.
“I feel like a burden to people if I tell them how I really feel.”
“I don’t think I’ve ever taken time to think about who I am.”
“I’ve always just done what’s been expected of me; nothing worth celebrating — nothing special”
You’ve spent most of your life showing up as the version of yourself that others needed—strong, selfless, high-achieving, and composed. But behind the accomplishments, the caregiving, and the “I’m fine” smiles… is someone who’s quietly asking, Who am I really, and when is it my turn to matter?
Maybe you’ve been the one everyone leans on. Maybe you’re excellent at keeping it together—but you’re exhausted. You’ve neglected your own needs, questioned your worth, and struggled to prioritize yourself without feeling guilty or selfish. You want to be confident, grounded, and connected to who you are—but this is new, and you’re not sure how to get there.
That’s where our work begins.
In therapy with me, we’ll
Gently explore the beliefs that have shaped how you see yourself—where they came from, how they’ve protected you, and why they’re no longer serving you.
Learn how to listen to your needs without shame, set boundaries that honor your well-being, and make decisions that reflect who you are, not just who you’ve been expected to be.
Realign with your true identity — it’s not about quick fixes; it’s about becoming more of yourself.
Our work will help you:
-
You are worthy as you are. You’re not defined by how much you’re able to endure or how much you can execute. You are still you, whether you carry the weight of the world or let it go.
-
Prioritizing yourself and honoring your needs is not selfish. Taking care of yourself is not a luxury — it’s a lifestyle. When you are functioning as your authentic self, you and your essence will overflow allowing the very things you’ve been pouring into to benefit from what you have to offer without you being depleted or exhausted.
-
Being your best is not the equivalent of being perfect. In fact, your best may fluctuate some days, and that’s okay! You’ll learn that regardless of the environment, situation, or circumstance — you’re still you. You’re still enough. You’re still valuable. That’s the truth and that’s more than enough.
-
You weren’t given the chance to fully explore who you are meant to be. You were given the expectations to be perfect, push through life’s obstacles without taking a break to process or heal, and cater to the needs of others because “their needs are the priority and there’s plenty of time to get back to yourself later.” You deserve to prioritize yourself. Your needs are important.
-
Your life on your terms — unapologetically, authentically, and beautifully yours. How freeing does that sound? No more burnout, no more masking — just honoring yourself and fostering resilience to get through all that life throws your way without being overcome or overwhelmed.
If you’re ready to stop shrinking, over-functioning, or pretending you’re okay when you’re not—this is your space to start choosing you, unapologetically.
You don’t have to hold it all together anymore. Let’s do this together!
Faith-based Therapy for Believers in Tennessee
Bridging the Gap Between Mental Health & Christianity
Your faith and your mental health are not meant to be at odds. Yet, many believers struggle to reconcile the two—whether due to harmful teachings, personal struggles, or the weight of expectations placed upon them. Maybe you’ve been told to “just pray about it” when struggling with depression or anxiety. Maybe you’ve been made to feel like your faith isn’t strong enough because you’re still carrying trauma, grief, or doubt. Or maybe you love God, but you’ve distanced yourself from the church because of judgment, shame, or unrealistic expectations of perfection.
Wherever you find yourself in this journey, I want you to know:
You are not alone, and there is space for you here.
I specialize in working with believers who want to grow spiritually while also prioritizing their mental health. Together, we navigate challenges like:
✔ Anxiety, depression, and suicidal ideation through both mental and spiritual tools
✔ Healing from church hurt or religious trauma without losing your faith
✔ Understanding who God truly is—not just how He’s been presented to you
✔ Overcoming guilt, shame, and the pressure to have it all together
✔ Learning to embrace grace, healing, and authentic faith, not perfectionism
What This Looks Like in Therapy:
As a therapist, I offer a judgment-free space where faith and mental health coexist—not one where you have to choose between seeking God and seeking help. Our sessions are a blend of evidence-based therapeutic techniques and biblical truth, ensuring you receive the emotional support you need while also deepening your faith in a way that feels authentic to you.
✔ Normalizing Mental Health in Faith
You don’t need to “just have more faith” to overcome depression. You don’t need to “pray harder” to heal from trauma. Yes, faith is powerful, and so is therapy. Here, we acknowledge that struggles like anxiety, depression, grief, and even suicidal thoughts are real—and that you are not weak, broken, or “less than” for experiencing them. We work on overcoming these struggles mentally and spiritually with practical tools, biblical wisdom, and unwavering support.
✔ Breaking Free from Perfectionism & Guilt
Many believers feel pressured to “do everything right” in their faith—only to feel like they’re failing when they make mistakes or struggle with doubt or sin. But God never called you to be perfect—He called you to be yourself (and yes, that includes your flaws). Therapy will help you unlearn the guilt and unrealistic expectations placed on you, so you can experience true freedom, grace, and self-compassion as you grow.
✔ Embracing a Relationship with God—Your Way
Whether you're rediscovering your faith, questioning certain teachings, or learning what it really means to follow Christ, you are welcome here. I won’t tell you what to believe, but I will support you as you explore what faith means to you—without fear, shame, or pressure.
You Are Seen. You Are Heard. You Are Enough.
No matter where you are in your journey—with your faith or your mental health—you don’t have to walk alone. I offer a therapy space where you can be fully seen, heard, and valued. Where faith and your mental health align, giving you the life you deserve.
Let’s work together to help you find peace mentally and spiritually—on your terms.
