Guiding You Toward Brighter Days

After working as an upper elementary and middle school counselor for nearly a decade, I started Nolo Counseling for children, teens and families in the Nolensville and Brentwood areas as a steady, supportive space where they can begin to understand themselves, build emotional skills, and feel more confident navigating their world.

Therapy is tailored to each child or teen, meeting them where they are while gently helping them grow.

My work is grounded in building trust first. From there, meaningful change can begin.

For many kids and teens, it’s hard to put feelings into words right away. I use play, art, and mindfulness-based approaches to help them:

*Understand emotions in a way that feels manageable

*Develop practical coping skills

*Build relational and communication skills

*Strengthen confidence and self-awareness

*Navigate school, friendship, and family dynamics

I strive to provide a supportive and affirming environment for children, teens, and families of all backgrounds.

I welcome clients of all:

  • Faiths and spiritual backgrounds

  • Racial and ethnic identities

  • Sexual orientations

  • Gender identities and expressions

  • Family structures

I recognize that culture, identity, relationships, and personal experiences all shape how we move through the world. My approach to therapy is grounded in compassion, curiosity, and respect for each client’s individual story.
