Individual Therapy | Knoxville, TN
Individual Therapy in Knoxville, TN
I help adults in Knoxville, Tennessee (and via telehealth in Colorado) break free from the patterns, childhood wounds, and trauma that keep them stuck. As an attachment-based therapist with advanced training in Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) and Emotionally Focused approaches, I offer a compassionate yet directive style that leads to real, lasting change.
My Approach to Individual Therapy
I am an attachment-based therapist. I believe our early experiences shape how we see ourselves, relate to others, and respond to stress today. My style is both compassionate and direct — I will support you while also keeping us focused on real change. I don’t just help you gain insight. I help you actually heal the old wounds, and find relief from triggers and body-based stress that have been running the show. Using Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART), attachment work, and parts work, we get to the root of what’s holding you back so you can respond differently in your relationships and daily life. My clients often tell me they feel safe and never judged, yet they also appreciate that I keep us on task. I will kindly but clearly point out patterns when needed so we stay focused on the growth you’re here for. The goal is not endless talking — it’s lasting emotional freedom.
