Teletherapy for Music Row - Nashville, TN

I work with individuals who are navigating anxiety, cultural identity exploration, trauma. Maybe you are emotionally numb, need someone to listen, terrified of discussing painful experiences, or don't have the right words to articulate how you are feeling. You are not alone. Seeking external help and sharing your most vulnerable thoughts, feelings, and experiences is an extremely intimate and courageous thing to do, let alone, with an initial stranger. I have immense respect for those taking this step and I am humbled to be a part of your mental health journey.

If you’re wrestling with anger, sadness, or anxiety, you are not alone. Perhaps your personal or professional life suffers as a result. Lost in our minds, we struggle with how to manage tough emotions and how to find small joys. Together, we will work to recapture your control, passion for life, and take steps towards growth -- helping you to be fully present for self and others. Through in person or telehealth sessions, I’m here to offer reflection and support.

For those struggling with grief, trauma, or challenging relationships, my hope is to see you go from feeling alone and misunderstood to being relationally connected and generous with yourself.

Relationship conflict can feel frustrating and hopeless. I help individuals stop having the same argument and avoid repeating negative patterns. In my practice I work with individuals, couples, and families needing crisis support to address conflict, rebuild trust, and gain tools for improving communication and connection. Specifically, I work with people who are experiencing life transitions, experiencing loss or grieving, struggling with anxiety, depression, addiction, and relationship wounds.

It's okay to be a unsure what you need out of therapy. It's ok to recognize that things aren't going well but can't exactly figure out why or how to change this. Questions and curiosity about the way we operate in our lives is wonderful starting place! It is okay if you've been to therapy before but still feel stuck. We are each full of endless potential.

Something's been brewing for a while now, but there's always been more pressing *stuff* that needs your attention and plenty of distractions to keep you occupied. But lately those obligations and distractions aren't enough and you're stuck with those thoughts that won't go away, and that nagging feeling in your stomach that can no longer be ignored. You like to feel in control and capable--able to handle things on your own, but these are uncharted waters and there's no map in sight. What's more is that things that may never have been issues before are all of a sudden becoming problems you didn't know you had.

Are you struggling with worry or fear that easily spirals out of control, at times to the point of panic? Are you noticing a negative impact on your work/school or your relationships (including with yourself!)? I specialize in helping smart, caring women who struggle with anxiety learn to find greater balance and ease. The women who work with me are the kind, responsible types who tend to their loved ones and to work/school, but who overlook themselves. By the time they get in touch with me, they feel exhausted, stressed out, guilty, and ashamed. They tend to overthink everything and feel easily overwhelmed by their emotions.

I enjoy working with clients of all ages through a variety of areas including dissociative disorders (DID/systems), complex trauma, developmental/relational trauma, and self development. I see clients as creative, resourceful, and resilient in the ways in which they have survived difficult life experiences. Although once highly effective, clients may find that these survival tools alone may no longer be conducive to their healing. Through therapy, clients can learn to expand upon their internal and external resources, enhancing their quality of life.

Do you notice yourself being forgetful or having brain fog? Or those close to you point out that you seem “out of it?" Maybe you questioned if past events actually happened or if these hurtful experiences should affect you like they do today. You might also have a hard time expressing your emotions because of overwhelm, numbness, or fear of judgement. And there's a harsh inner critic that makes it hard to accept parts of yourself. If this resonates with you, know you're not alone.

We work with clients of all ages! We have therapists who work with children, teens, young adults, and adults. Clients who want to work with the difficulties of life benefit the most with us.

My favorite all-time bumper sticker: Don't Believe Everything You Think! Obviously, everyone has problems in life, but both sages and scientists have discovered that how we think about our problems is a crucial variable in whether we grow through difficulties (past or present), or get mired in difficult emotions and unhelpful behavior patterns. While we all have unique histories and personalities, what leads to healing and change generally applies to all of us. But more than ever, we are living on "autopilot," and just trying to keep up. All the while, our busy minds provide a running commentary, often full of fear and criticism.

Welcome! I am with a small practice on music row. We have a cozy office with plenty of plants, candles, and pillows. My areas of expertise include disordered eating patterns, body image issues, anxiety, depression, obsessive-compulsive disorder, and trauma. I see both adolescents and adults throughout their journey of life, which I think is always better when you have a compassionate therapist at your side. We will do the hard stuff but also have a lot of laughs along the way!

Currently offering telehealth therapy only! We spend a lot of time identifying things that are 'wrong' with us, but what about the things that you are really kicking ass at? I want to help clients identify strengths and cultivate them so that when life is feeling really hard, you can easily call up your superpowers. I aim to bring authentic, trusting and supportive energy to everyone I encounter and foster that within others. I believe healing happens when we find balance and step outside of black and white thinking.

I strive to create a safe and comfortable space for clients to develop connection and self-acceptance. I assist clients experiencing anxiety, grief, trauma, adjustments, and difficult family dynamics to go from feeling isolated and misunderstood to feeling connected, seen, and understood.

My work is shaped by the belief that human connection is biologically imperative. My goal is to help you connect with yourself so you can build deep, fulfilling, lasting relationships with others. I have a holistic approach to healing, advocating that mental, physical, spiritual, and relational health are the keys to optimal well-being.

If you feel disconnected, unfulfilled, or anxious, I can help. Life is a journey, and everyone's path is unique; managing relationships, careers, and life doesn't have to overwhelm you. I provide holistic, personalized counseling to meet you where you are at in life. We will work together to help build a plan to overcome challenges, get your needs fulfilled, achieve your goals, and write the life story that you want to live.

I have been in the mental health field for over 15 years working with adolescents and adults in individual, family, and couples therapy. I have an eclectic approach to the therapeutic process which is very client centered and collaborative in nature. I am experienced in helping with anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship struggles, addictions....among numerous other things. The journey of growth and self-discovery can be a difficult road. I am in this field because I sincerely want to help.
