I believe that some of the most sustainable human growth occurs via relationship. This is why I believe in the power of Psychotherapy: it can be a unique opportunity for healing, a process in which -- through genuine connection and honest feedback, we can begin to make sense of the way we have come to view ourselves, our relationships, our sense of spirituality and interconnection, and the world around us. Through our work together, my clients can begin to gain the tools needed in order to change that which they can control, but also genuinely accept that which they cannot.

With evidence-based interventions and empathetic listening, I help anxious, depressed, lonely, and burned out people find hope and solutions for a better life. I practice from a Health at Every Size (HAES) therapeutic lens and provide a healing environment for those who struggle with body image and disordered eating. I believe in the power of the therapeutic relationship, and I feel honored to hear my clients’ stories.

I nurture a deep love and appreciation for the complexity, diversity and resiliency of the human spirit and believe, unequivocally, in the healing power of connection and hope. My focus is on meeting each client where they are by creating a safe space to facilitate meaningful interactions. Through my own identity development journey as a mixed-race woman, I have learned how to value my own story and how that impacts my therapeutic lens. It is my belief that knowing ourselves allows us to know how to more deeply and intimately hold space for others.

I provide psychotherapy for adults using a variety of treatment modalities. I most often work from a psychodynamic perspective, exploring how current behaviors and emotions relate to earlier experiences and relationships. I also work with couples in therapy to facilitate improved relationships and develop effective communication skills.

As we walk through life, we accumulate stories: about ourselves, others, how to trust and love and relate. Some stories provide a solid foundation for healthy relationships with others and ourselves, and help us move through this world with confidence. Unfortunately, some stories hold us back from satisfying relationships and/or reaching our true potential. My ideal client is ready to begin exploring the life chapters that could use a re-write. I look forward to helping you re-write your stories and empowering you to be the hero of your tale: a hero who is self-determined, confident, and secure in relationship with others.

Whether you are anxious, experiencing a major life transition, or struggling in a relationship, therapy can provide a wonderful opportunity to find relief and make meaningful changes. Together, we will work on uncovering the barriers holding you back, help you develop new ways of relating to yourself and others, and find greater peace in your day-to-day life. The goal is to turn down the noise that distracts you and makes you feel stuck so you can focus on what’s meaningful and fulfilling in your life.

Learn how to feel more connected to yourself, others and the world around you. Therapy provides all the elements of intimacy: honest communication, vulnerability and trust. Good therapy is challenging yet warm, providing both structure and empathy for your unique experience. We are a collective of therapists with a wide range of specialties. Our intake professionals will help connect you with the right therapist for your needs. We make appointments easy, offering evenings and weekends and flexibility for creative professionals who can't make the same time each week.

“Each time you meet an old emotional pattern with presence, your awakening to truth can deepen.” (Tara Brach) Life happens and life can be challenging. As the years go by, those challenges continue to evolve and shift – particularly when we move from one chapter of our lives to the next. Very often, these transitions can be opportunities to take a fresh look at where we are, at how we got to where we are, as well as to unpack some of the things we’ve collected on our journey thus far. That exploration can be daunting, and it can be helpful to have support as you proceed.

So you want something to change? What's standing in your way? Maybe you have experienced trauma or loss, or you find yourself in relationships that cost you more than you get in return. Maybe your partner, family, or child is struggling and you are looking for a way to help without getting lost yourself? Therapy can help you discover new truths about your situation, bringing you clarity and direction. With over 10 years in the mental health community, I have seen people find new hope and healing through the introspective and transforming work of therapy, all in pursuit of a life that is deeply satisfying.

Do you seek a more creative form of therapy than traditional talk therapy? Do you have a desire to improve your emotional, physical, social, and/or cognitive well being in a musical space? Are you highly motivated by music? Do you or your loved one have a disability? If you answered "yes" to one or more of these questions, you should consider booking a free consultation with Empower Music Therapy LLC. We are a small group of board-certified music therapists in the greater Nashville area who provide excellent care to individuals of all ages with and without disabilities.

Whether you are new to therapy and/or recovery, or are struggling with new obstacles or relapse, welcome. When we are feeling stuck, or even when we are changing and growing, we can feel feel anxious, overwhelmed, disoriented or uncertain. Know it is possible to move through the discomfort, regain our sense of empowerment, and live life as our authentic selves. Our process may feel like a struggle at times but we don't have to go through it alone.

If you are like many of my clients, you are a college student that works hard. But like them, you wonder what is wrong with you. You are worried all the time. You have had some panic attacks. You can't stop beating yourself up. You are overwhelmed and stressed out. You want good grades and good relationships. But you feel like you are constantly disappointing everyone. You want to stop feeling overwhelmed and stop saying to yourself "I need to get my act together". My clients experience anxiety and they contact me because they want to stop feeling like a failure and worrying all the time.

Life is too short to stay stuck in behaviors, relationships, and patterns that detract rather than enhance our lives. At some point in all of our lives, we are likely to find ourselves stagnant and in need of a change, unsure which direction to go in a time of transition, or just dissatisfied and maybe not even sure why. It can be difficult to know where and how to begin the journey to change and growth. Or even to know what you want that change to be right now. If this resonates with you, know that you are not the only one!

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.

Hi! Welcome to my profile! I'm a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in Franklin and I love people. I believe that every person is of infinite value and is created strong, resilient, and wonderfully made. I find great joy in creating a safe place for individuals to feel seen, heard, and known. I use an integrative approach that encourages clients to find their voice and trust themselves and their bodies in their own story and process.

Asking for help is sometimes difficult, and also powerful. Daily struggles with anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, intrusive thoughts can become overwhelming. Complex trauma, substance use, eating disorders, unhealthy relationships, are among a few that can also keep us from our authentic self. In order to survive through all of this and keep going, it is common to adapt in ways that end up no longer working. We need help. That help comes from recognizing the gifts we have in ourselves and getting the gifts of others. My gift is to help others with aligning the head and the heart while healing to recognize authentic self.
