Life's journey is full of obstacles such as anxiety, relationship issues, family of origin issues, self-esteem or identity issues, life transitions, and more. I am here to journey alongside clients as they create change, take steps toward goals, and live authentically. My holistic approach advocates that mental, physical, and spiritual health are the keys to unlock maximized well-being.

Feeling overwhelmed, stressed, and alone in these feelings? I am here to help you see that you are not alone and there is a way out. Whether it is overcoming struggles at work or in the home, grief/loss, trauma, substance use disorders, life transitions, sexuality, etc., I provide a warm, non-judgmental environment to explore the areas of difficulty and help you find attainable goals to help you feel empowered and at peace with yourself. Please reach out via phone or email and specify whether you are in Florida or Tennessee.

I am a pre-licensed clinical fellow at The Briggs Institute, Inc. The therapists at the Institute are graduates of Lipscomb University's Master of Marriage and Family Therapy Program. As the only COAMFTE accredited program in Nashville, the Lipscomb MFT program has earned its fine reputation by meeting the highest academic and clinical experience standards in the country. Because we practice under the supervision of the Lipscomb MFT program core faculty, we remain connected to academia. This means our work is informed by state-of-the-art scientific research that most private practice therapists can't easily access.

Though I see a range of client types, I find I am best suited to work with the black sheep. My clients often find it taxing, if not impossible, to function at high levels while carrying their stressors. I work with people to figure out what good looks like for them, and help them create a new, intentional, normal. My clients come to me stressed, anxious, depressed, traumatized, worried, and angry; and they are all on a path of healing and growth. I see all sexual orientations and genders in my practice.

It takes a lot of bravery to lean into painful places, but I want you to know; you are not alone. I strive to create a safe space where you feel empowered to begin your journey of healing, exploring, and rediscovery.

I believe that most problems bringing people to psychotherapy arise from conflict issues and contact issues. Conflicts may involve inner conflicts, such as dilemmas of freedom vs. love, and interpersonal conlicts involving needs between partners, family members, past or present, coworkers, etc. Contact issues involve our connections with self,with others, and seeking, losing, healing, or needing to deepen the quality of these connections. Imbalances in contact or conflict may create mild to severe anxiety, depression, and when unresolved may fuel bad habits at best and at worst compulsive problems. Accurate definition of these underlying issues is necessary for resolution.

Sometimes difficult thoughts, feelings, and experiences take us away from the life we want to live. It may not seem clear how therapy can help. I provide a non-judgmental and secure space where, together, we can clarify your goals and develop a treatment plan. My approach to therapy is grounded in evidence-based clinical practices. Combining behavioral and mindfulness-based modalities, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Exposure and Response Prevention, I help clients develop insight and take action in order to live engaged, meaningful lives.

*Telehealth Services Only* Are you struggling to manage your anxieties about your relationships or the future? Do you feel stuck replaying situations over and over again in your head, which leads you to question yourself or feel like you're "going crazy"? Do you wish you could gain clarity, motivation, and direction? I understand how frustrating and exhausting it can be to feel overwhelmed, confused, and searching for answers. Although it might be difficult to see right now, there is a way to create a meaningful life, where you feel confident, sure of your decisions, and proud of who you are. You just have to take the first step!

Are you experiencing flashbacks after a traumatic event? Do you struggle to get through your day? You can recover and move forward with your life. I seek to work collaboratively with clients to help them learn new and healthier ways of relating to those around them and gain a greater ability to treat themselves and others with compassion. It takes courage to step into the therapy room; I work to provide a disarming space for clients. My curiosity guides me as I get to know people for who they are and help clients learn to think, feel, and act in new productive ways in order for them to become the people they hope to be.

Hey y'all! I'm Caitlin, a psychotherapist in Nashville, TN. I have a passion for helping people get unstuck from lives that are no longer serving them. I want you to truly have the life you deserve to have. I get particularly excited about helping people learn more effective ways of communicating, discover emotions, tolerate discomfort, and learn how to bend- not break.

TELEPHONE COUNSELING AVAILABLE! I primarily see men and women who are dealing with problems relating to anxiety and/or depression. Many of the people I treat are dealing with overwhelming life issues. During therapy we process these issues and practice strategies designed to give you coping skills you can use for your current and future situations. I am trained to provide relief on a wide variety of pressures, including, but not limited to anger and communication difficulties, grief and loss, history of trauma, adult recovery from child abuse, divorce, change of life issues, relationship conflict and men's and women's issues.

We are all ultimately seeking happiness and to decrease our suffering. It is especially difficult during these times to believe that we are valuable, loveable and have a hope of happiness. We can work together to help you build a life worth living. You will believe there is some hope when you start to see a glimmer of results.

My role is to remove the obstacles that stand in the way of having 100% of your intellect, wisdom, passion, humor, curiosity, energy, creativity, logic, healing ability, focus and joyfulness there and completely available to you!

"Love and safety heal -- everything else is just tools."* And our places of deepest pain can, over time, not only heal but become medicine for others. I offer a safe space and caring presence to accompany clients who are ready to unburden their souls (psyche) and take a "depth" approach to understanding their lives and struggles. We have all been intricately shaped by our history and choices, our personality and life circumstances. The more we come to understand the complex tapestry that has led to our present situation, the freer we become to move forward differently, more joyful and whole.
