Trauma-Informed Therapy in Tennessee
As a trauma psychotherapist and Somatic Internal Family Systems (Somatic IFS) practitioner, I specialize in helping adults navigate complex trauma, anxiety, disenfranchised grief, and identity-related pain. My approach integrates body-based therapies like Sensorimotor Psychotherapy and EMDR with creative modalities such as Sandtray and Play Therapy. With 13 years of clinical experience and certifications including IFS Certified Level-3 and Registered Play Therapist, I create a safe space for clients to explore internal parts, process ancestral trauma, and reclaim wholeness.My practice emphasizes cultural responsiveness, decolonizing mental health approaches, and supporting marginalized communities. I also offer consultation for therapists seeking to deepen their clinical work through somatic and expressive practices. As both practitioner and fellow human navigating grief and resilience, I prioritize embodied presence and relational healing to help clients transform pain into renewed aliveness.
