Find your therapist, in person

I know how overwhelming life can feel when everything unravels. If you're carrying grief, trauma, pain from relationships, burnout, or a major life transition, you don't have to carry it alone. Before becoming a counselor, I spent more than 25 years collectively in higher education, global business environments and the non-profit sector. That experience helps me also support clients navigating high-pressure careers, identity shifts, and complex personal and professional stress. Personally, I was widowed suddenly at 34 with 3 small children, one with special needs, and understand the practical, every day life challenges that come with putting your life back together. I provide in-person counseling in the Nashville/Brentwood area and offer a free 15-minute consultation so we can see if we're a good fit.

I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) in Nashville, TN. I see Couples, Families, and Individuals remotely and in person at my private practice located in Maryland Farms, Brentwood. I am a Nashville native who received my bachelor’s degree from Stanford University and my Master’s Degree in Marriage and Family Therapy from Trevecca Nazarene University. I work with Couples and Families using my advanced training in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT). I also work as a trauma therapist trained in Level II EMDR. Having been a licensed, practicing attorney in Nashville for over 25 years, I bring a unique perspective to the counseling work. I do with clients.

I have worked as a counselor in the Nashville area for 20 years with individuals struggling with the effects of trauma, couples in crisis, and families struggling to connect. One of my favorite things about working with clients is the gift of watching the tragedies of life become resilience, character, and hope. I consider it an honor and a privilege to help you find your way out of that dark place and journey to a place of hope.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the State of Tennessee and also registered to provide telehealth services in the State of Florida. I am from Ohio originally and earned my Bachelors of Social Work at Bowling Green State University in Ohio. Then I went on to earn my Masters of Social Work at the University of Michigan. I have worked in diverse fields from schools, community mental health, an inpatient psychiatric hospital and outpatient therapy. I am a parent of adult children and can relate to raising children and balancing aging and ill parents.

I took an unusual path to becoming a therapist. At age 50, I returned to school to earn my Master's degree in Counseling because I wanted my work to make a lasting difference in people's lives. It was one of the best decisions I've ever made. There is nothing more rewarding than watching people who once felt stuck, overwhelmed, or discouraged begin to heal and regain hope. Seeing clients grow stronger, more confident, and more connected to the people they love is a privilege I never take for granted. Trauma therapy is especially meaningful to me because I've seen how unresolved experiences can quietly shape every area of life. As healing takes place, people often experience greater peace, healthier relationships, and a new sense of freedom they never thought possible. Helping someone move from merely surviving to truly living is why I love what I do. Every day, I'm grateful for the opportunity to walk alongside people as they discover that lasting healing and meaningful change are possible.

I believe that each individual is special and unique. Therefore my therapeutic technique is tailored to best serve my client's personal needs. I utilize a holistic approach to therapy, which considers the entire human being and collective life experiences. This method includes physical and spiritual contexts as well as mental well being. I am licensed in the states of TN and IL, and offer both in person and virtual therapy sessions. I’ve been practicing since 2011 and my areas of specialty are grief, trauma and loss, depression and anxiety, substance abuse, women’s issues, and helping those in a transitional phase of life. I would be honored to walk alongside you on your personal journey.

Originally from central Indiana, but I’ve made Nashville my home over the past 10 years. Prior to my work as a therapist, I spent several years working in a non-profit setting with kids and young families. Additionally, I have experience working with families who have experienced foster care, adoption, separation, divorce, and blended families. With a desire to be equipped to do more in-depth and meaningful work with families, I went on to pursue my Masters of Marriage and Family Therapy at Lipscomb University. In my free time I enjoy long runs, playing pickle ball, spending time with family and friends, and finding any reason to get outside.

My love for humans led me here—first as a seeker, then as a storyteller, and now as a therapist. Before earning my master’s degree in marriage and family therapy from Lipscomb University and opening the doors of Power Haven Therapy, I spent over a decade as a nationally recognized mental health and relationships journalist. I wrote for leading platforms including Oprah Daily, Marie Claire, Cosmopolitan, and Apple News, translating cutting-edge research and soulful insights into powerful, real-world solutions. I collaborated with some of the most influential voices in mental health and personal growth: spiritual thought leaders like Deepak Chopra, Gabby Bernstein, and Julia Cameron, neuroscientists like Dr. Caroline Leaf, and psychologists like Dr. Shefali Tsabary, best known for her trailblazing work on conscious parenting. Together, we helped bring attachment science, emotional intelligence, and inner child work into the mainstream. These experiences sparked a passion in me for understanding the power of attachment and the brilliance of the human brain and nervous system, and pointed me toward the virtues of post-traumatic growth. Eventually, I felt called to midwife healing and transformation—not just describe it Today, with science, humility, and heart, I approach my work as a therapist with devout seriousness, joy, and care, and will never stop being a student of the human experience.

Before becoming a therapist, I spent many years in music publishing —working closely with songwriters eager to share their stories with the world. That chapter of my life taught me how deeply people want to be seen and heard, and how easy it is to lose yourself while meeting expectations, chasing success, or caring for others. My path into therapy grew from that realization. Today, I bring both my clinical training and real-world experience into the therapy room. I work with individuals navigating anxiety, relationship challenges, major life transitions, and grief/loss. My approach is collaborative, compassionate, and practical. I believe therapy works best when it’s a space where you don’t have to perform—where you can slow down, get curious, and reconnect with your own internal rhythm. Together, we explore patterns, build emotional insight, and develop tools that support meaningful, sustainable change.

I'm Adam, a trauma-informed therapist, and I help people who suffer from worries, nagging thoughts, religious fears, or the lingering effects of past traumas. I specialize in helping individuals who are struggling with OCD, anxiety, and trauma. I also help couples work through challenges and rediscover connection in their relationships.

Welcome! This is a significant step forward! My name is Marguerite and I'm a licensed therapist in Tennessee and Massachusetts. After earning my masters in clinical social work from Columbia University I moved back to my home state of Massachusetts and now live in Tennessee. After 5+ years in acute psychiatric settings I now focus on individuals and families in a community setting. I take a person centered, relational approach, and think that bringing warmth and levity into the room can make something that could feel scary a lot more approachable.

I strive to facilitate insight, positive change, and growth for young adults and adults. In my work, I consider collaboration and the therapeutic relationship to be the foundation of change and healing. I help individuals overcome difficulties such as eating disorders, adjustment to college, grief & loss, and relationship concerns. I am currently offering in-person and online therapy (or teletherapy) to help make therapy accessible to as many people as possible. Online counseling is easy to access and just as effective as in-person therapy. Additionally, I am an approved supervisor for those in the state of Tennessee pursuing LPC/MHSP licensure.

I have completed numerous specialized trainings, including EMDR, Brainspotting, Trauma Professional training, Anxiety-Informed Professional training, and Perinatal Mental Health training through Postpartum Support International. My journey of work through the mental health field has guided me to various opportunities throughout the years.

I have experience as a Behavior Therapist for children on the spectrum, have worked at a psychiatric rehabilitation home for adults recovering from severe mental illness, and have volunteered my skills in numerous healthcare settings, on top of providing individual therapy for a variety of ages in the Nashville area. I also have a heart for and heightened experience working within the entertainment business and with those that are involved in the entertainment business.
