Have you spent your life feeling like an outsider? Maybe you've been judged, misunderstood, or made to feel like you don't belong. I specialize in working with people who have been marginalized, especially LGBTQ+ individuals, trauma survivors, and others who've had to fight harder just to exist. I have a deep love and respect for people who have survived lives that asked them to fight harder just to exist. I also specialize in music industry professionals, bringing in my own experience. Music was my first career! Together, we'll help you heal, reconnect with yourself, and build a life that feels authentic to you.
I don’t want therapy to feel cold and clinical. I aim to create a space that feels comfortable and safe enough for deep introspection and healing. I do my best to allow you to be your most vulnerable, whatever that looks like. Together we’ll laugh, cry, and experience breakthrough moments that will help you reach the life you want for yourself.
I offer virtual sessions so therapy fits your life: no gas usage, no commute, no waiting room, just meaningful work from the comfort of your own space. Research confirms telehealth is just as effective as in-person therapy, and that includes therapies such as EMDR. Let's talk! Call or email me for a free 15-minute consultation!

Your first session is half price for private pay clients, a low-stakes way to see if we're a good fit. I also accept many insurance plans. At the moment, I can only accept Optum, United Healthcare, Oscar, Oxford, and BlueCross BlueShield for TN residents. The rest should be good for Florida as well!

I work with teens and adults navigating anxiety, depression, and trauma. We'll start by building comfort and trust, then gently explore what's been holding you back. My clients report feeling safer, stronger, and more capable of facing life's challenges as we work together. This is an affirming, welcoming space for all. I'd love to hear from you!

Trained in both IFS and EMDR, I bring powerful, evidence-informed tools to our work together. In our first session, we'll build safety, clarify your goals, and begin gently exploring the parts of you carrying pain or stress, creating space for lasting change and relief. If this resonates, I'd love to connect! Feel free to send an email to set up a time to chat! This is an LGBTQIA affirming space!
