Spirituality Psychiatrists in Nashville, TN
Maybe you became a mother and somewhere along the way lost yourself. You love your children, but you lie awake at night with your heart racing, wondering if you are doing enough, being enough. The intrusive thoughts, the exhaustion, the guilt that follows every short fuse — you have started to wonder if this is just how it is now. Or maybe you are a Christian who prays and tries to trust God, but the anxiety will not quiet down. You are not broken. You are carrying more than you should carry alone, and you deserve care that takes all of you seriously.

I am dedicated to helping people suffering from a variety of problems, including depression, anxiety, ocd, social anxiety, panic, autism, adhd, relationship difficulties and behavioral problems. It is a privilege to walk alongside people and help them resolve symptoms they find distressing and improve their quality of life. Ensuring a safe, therapeutic relationship, I allow individuals to share their struggles openly and honestly, and together we pursue healing and hope. We will consider biological, psychological, social, and spiritual factors that may be creating problems and address each of these as part of our work together.

I'm a board-certified psychiatrist who accepts insurance, and I specialize in depression and anxiety, as well as how neurodivergence can affect these if present. Together, our work would focus on helping you find and equip yourself with an approach to better navigate the challenges you face, while using only the meds you truly need. I am firmly against the typical approach of throwing meds alone at problems and hoping for the best; instead, our work together would be more about identifying and building strategies that specifically address your individual needs, especially in how you navigate the negativity or stresses you face.

What should I expect from therapy that incorporates a focus on spirituality?
Spirituality can mean different things to different individuals, depending on their experiences, beliefs, and life histories. Some individuals focus on strengthening their belief system, while others experience spirituality in secular ways, such as through meditation, yoga, or by spending time in nature. Clients can expect a therapist to help guide and grow their spirituality through any of these techniques, encouraging the individual to cope with the challenges they face and develop strategies to build resilience and purpose to improve their outlook in life.
What are the most common treatments that include spirituality?
There are several treatments that incorporate spirituality. Mindfulness-based cognitive therapy (MBCT) helps a person examine and reframe their negative thoughts and behaviors. Acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) focuses on emotional acceptance and psychological flexibility. Existential therapy is most often used to address anxiety, depression, grief, loneliness, apathy, despair, questions of identity, and feelings of purposelessness and existential dread. Transpersonal therapy focuses on a client’s spirituality and meaning in life and may incorporate techniques including meditation, visualization, hypnotherapy, dream analysis, and or breathwork.
Can therapy incorporating spirituality help atheistic or agnostic individuals?
Yes. For non-believers, spirituality can offer benefits including a greater sense of connection to others and to the natural world. An interest in spirituality may also spur individuals to pursue mindfulness practices, or to contemplate their purpose in life and how to achieve it.
How effective is spirituality as a therapeutic remedy?
Research suggests spirituality is generally beneficial for individuals. It is correlated with better health habits, such as less substance use, and an improved capacity to cope with stress and other mental health challenges. Increased spirituality can lead individuals to become more empathic and less materialistic, as well.
