Trauma Focused Therapists in Gray, TN
If you are moving through a season shaped by loss, you don’t have to carry it alone. Grief does not always look like sadness - it can show up as anxiety, numbness, irritability, or feeling stuck. You may be functioning on the outside while feeling disconnected on the inside. If you are feeling stuck in your grief, I am here to meet you exactly where you are and walk with you towards growth, healing, and renewed well-being. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, and I specialize in supporting adults (18+) who are experiencing grief related to death, illness, caregiving, and major life transitions.

I have worked for the past 16 years utilizing a variety of techniques to accomplish healing such as CBT, DBT, trauma focused, EMDR, somatic therapy, polyvagal informed therapy, mindfulness (nature, meditation, etc.), and expressive therapies (art, music, dance, crafting, etc.).
There is a reason we do the things that we do and feel the way that we feel. All mental health issues are caused by us surviving and navigating this world to the best of our abilities given all the obstacles that can get in the way. Therapy is a science and an art. In better understanding the science and the question of “why” we do the things that we do can be a powerful tool in starting your healing journey. Once having this level of insight, therapy aims to not only heal you in the present but heal the deeper underlying issues that have caused things to get to this point.

Hello and welcome! Starting therapy or even returning to therapy can be scary. It is not easy to be vulnerable and doing work in therapy can be hard, but when you find a good fit for a therapist it can be a lot less daunting and a lot more rewarding. If you are an adult and wanting a safe, inviting, and comforting space to cry, process, laugh and/or share good news, then I have the space for you! And if you are a coffee, tea, animal or plant lover then we already have something in common!

If you’re here, something inside you already knows it’s time. Time to stop carrying the weight of everyone else's emotions, time to stop overthinking everything, time to stop believing you're "too much." You might be the one who always shows up, gives more than you get, and worries that if you stop trying so hard, everything will fall apart. You don't have to keep earning love through overthinking, caretaking, and self-silencing. Therapy can be the place where you finally exhale and learn how to tune into your own feelings and needs.

Online therapy for men in Nashville and across Tennessee. I help men that are functioning at work, at home, on paper — but something underneath isn't right. The shutdowns, the blowups, the 2 a.m. overthinking, the irritability you you take out on the people you love the most - that's where we start. Most of the men I work with are carrying more than they let on: pressure at work, conflict at home, ADHD that's finally catching up, anxiety that shows up as anger, or a low-grade feeling that they're failing some test no one will name. You don't need to be in crisis to come in — you just need to be tired of doing this on your own.

Are you where you imagined you’d be in life?
So often, we move through the world relying on survival skills. Depression, anxiety, addiction, or difficult relationships may have been ways you’ve learned to cope. But healing is possible—you can begin creating the life you truly want, one that brings you peace and happiness.
Stress builds in the body, and emotions from the past often remain alive within us. I would be honored to walk alongside you as you move through fear, shame, anger, or numbness—toward a place where you can feel whole, empowered, and joyful again.
