Passion-for-Life Psychotherapy, in Nashville, TN, is a creative, healing process based on the active participation of both client and therapist. The practice is grounded in the strength of the professional relationship and committed to improving the fullness and depth of your growth. It is about your empowerment, about striving to attain your potential, about becoming more accessible to yourself, others, and the world. This interactive approach utilizes techniques chosen for you individually. It identifies and activates your own inner courage, vision, wisdom, and strength. The possibility for transformation is endless. Now is the time to walk your path toward wholeness and well-being.

Philosophy

Psychotherapy has wandered too far from its original meaning of restoring balance to the soul. The primary role of Passion-for-Life Psychotherapy is one of healing the soul. You already contain all your potential. I simply help you learn how to better access that potential and how to create a healthy balance in mood and behavior in your life.

You define your goals and needs. We work together to reach them.

Is Passion-for-Life Therapy For You?

• Do you feel depressed?
• Do you have problems beginning or maintaining healthy relationships?
• Do you feel overanxious?
• Do you feel overwhelmed?
• Do you ever feel uninspired?
• Do you wonder where your wonder and awe about life went?
• Do you lack a sense of direction?
• Are you bored with what you do---or don't do?
• Are you lacking creativity?
• Are you a survivor of childhood abuse?
• Do you feel victimized?
• Do you want to improve the quality of your life?

If you answered 'Yes' to any of the above, Passion-for-Life Psychotherapy can help you.

Individual Sessions

Passion-for-Life Psychotherapy is a healing art focused on the future. Rather than addressing 'problems,' I empower the dreams and desires you want to achieve, delving into your past only if it presents obstacles to your present growth.

Passion-for-Life Psychotherapy treats every client as an individual. Together, we develop a highly individualized treatment plan to address your deepest dreams and desires for your life. Your plan is then regularly revised as your sessions progress.

Through a number of therapeutic techniques tailored to your personal style and needs, Passion-for-Life Psychotherapy will connect with your passion for life, whatever that may be. Even in your darkest moment, the spark of life burns within you. We will focus on that ember. We will nurture and sustain it to return balance to your life.

Relationship Therapy

Passion-for-Life Psychotherapy offers sessions for married or unmarried couples, adult children and parents, same-sex couples, friends, and business partners. As a member of KAP, I approach all relationships without judgment.

Psychotherapy vs. Life Coaching

A number of people have been asking me, "Why two businesses? What's the difference between Passion-for-Life Psychotherapy and UPositive Life Coaching?" So I thought this would be a good place to clarify it.    (more...)
