Self Psychology Therapists in Murfreesboro, TN

I am a Licensed Clinical Psychologist with over 20 years of experience working with adolescents, adults, couples, and families to create meaningful, measurable change in how they feel, function, and relate to others. My approach is evidence-based, empathic, and solution-focused, with therapy centered on helping you achieve clear goals so that progress is noticeable in daily life. I work with a wide range of concerns—including anxiety, low mood, loss, self-doubt, and life transitions—and have particular expertise in performance psychology, public speaking anxiety, panic attacks, fear of flying, and questions of purpose or meaning. If you’re unsure whether therapy is the right next step, I also offer a one-time consultation assessment to help clarify what may be contributing to your current stress and identify effective pathways forward, whether through therapy or other strategies.

I do my best to listen in the service of understanding and provide thoughtful responsiveness, which I have found helps my clients connect to their inner life and with others. Using gentle honesty and compassion, I value autonomy and collaboration to help people feel less alone while finding a sense of purpose within their lives and in the world.

I provide online therapy centered on personal growth and fulfillment. Recognizing that life's difficulties often prompt the search for a therapist, our work will address these immediate concerns while exploring the broader path to a meaningful life, uniquely defined by you. My approach integrates relational psychoanalysis, integral philosophy, and Eastern wisdom traditions, emphasizing mindfulness and compassion. I prioritize the present moment within our therapeutic relationship, using this focus as a means for reflection, insight, and transformation as we collaboratively create a space to understand the significant particular and universal experiences of your life.

Psychotherapy is most effective when two people (therapist and client) work together to develop a type of therapeutic relationship that not only seeks to make sense of unfolding dynamics but also provides a safe place from which to explore both the known and unknown. In other words, psychotherapy or counseling should offer a meaningful experience, offering new ways of being, relating, and experiencing. Lasting change becomes possible when we are able to find and apply new ways of thinking and feeling about ourselves and others - new ways of relating or responding to the world in which we live and engage.

I specialize in helping individuals navigate anxiety, self-esteem, second guessing, doubt, depression, life transitions, and relationship challenges with more clarity and confidence. Whether you are looking to better understand yourself, break unhelpful patterns, or reconnect with your inner sense of strength, our work together is grounded in real conversations, deep insight, and practical tools for lasting change. This is done from the comfort of your own space.

Murfreesboro is one of the fastest-growing cities in Tennessee, a Rutherford County suburb of Nashville that has attracted families and young professionals drawn by more affordable housing than Nashville offers, and Middle Tennessee State University (MTSU) brings a substantial student population that creates significant demand for young adult and academic mental health services. The city's rapid growth has outpaced the development of mental health infrastructure, and demand for private therapy has grown significantly as the population has expanded. Common therapy concerns include relocation and community-building stress, student and young adult mental health, relationship and family issues, and the anxiety of navigating a city in rapid and sometimes disorienting transformation. Vanderbilt Psychiatric Hospital and other Nashville-area resources are accessible to Murfreesboro residents for more intensive needs, and telehealth extends the reach of Nashville's larger therapy market.
