I am a Licensed Marital and Family Therapist (LMFT) in Nashville, TN. My goal in working with clients is to help them find where they are "stuck" in the same song, heal past wounds and negative messages, and then help them begin singing a completely new song.

Serving Together
Just got back from journey #3 to Haiti. Todd was with me this time, so it was a new experience for both of us. It was insanely cool to take a trip like that with my spouse. We've walked on beaches and toured beautiful cities, but there is a new beauty in sweating through 100 degree weather together with precious Haitian children grasping every available piece of clothing on you. I looked over to see him playing dominoes, and even through his sweat and old t-shirt I asked him to toss forever ago, I had never wanted to hug him so much. He was such a picture of a real man to me. Sadly, these children do not get attention and love from a male figure very often, so he must have been like an angel to them. As a couple, we support the cause of Sweet Sleep (sweetsleep.org) and caring for orphans. I encourage you and your partner to support and serve a cause you believe in together. You might just find more admiration for each other as you love others together.
