LGBT therapists in Clarksville, TN

If you are looking for a place to heal and grow, welcome to Balance & Bliss Therapy. As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with 18 years of experience, I provide an inclusive, warm, and deeply supportive space for individuals, couples, and families. I believe therapy works best when it adapts to you, not the other way around.

To give you the most comprehensive care possible, I blend several powerful, evidence-based approaches tailored to your needs:

• Somatic Therapy & EMDR: To help heal trauma and gently release stress stored physically in the body.
• Gottman Method & Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT): To strengthen communication, heal relational bonds, and rebuild intimacy.
• CBT & DBT-Informed Strategies: To provide practical, everyday tools for managing intense emotions and reshaping negative thought patterns.

My practice is entirely person-centered, meaning your comfort, pace, and growth are always my top priorities. Outside of the therapy room, I practice the same balance I encourage in my clients. You can usually find me training my therapy dog, heading out on an adventure in my camping trailer, getting lost in a great book, catching a live concert, or enjoying quality time with my friends, family, and grandkids.

When life feels heavy, it’s easy to feel stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected from the version of yourself you want to be.

I help individuals navigate depression, anxiety, life stress, and major transitions while building confidence and clarity. I offer in-person sessions in Tennessee and telehealth for clients in both Tennessee and Alabama.

I’m so excited that you found me and we get to do this journey together! What a privilege to walk by your side as you courageously take those first steps towards health, healing and wholeness. I’ve been a therapist for almost 10 years and have practiced in a variety of clinical settings. I’ve held space for clients and therapists experiencing the crushing pain of trauma and taught them skills to restore hope. I would love to join you as we learn how to do hard things together!
