I have worked with adolescents and adults experiencing things like depression, anxiety, trauma, grief/loss, gender, non-binary and/or sexuality dysphoria, perinatal mood and anxiety disorders, religious trauma, and life transitions.
Life is a balance between holding on and letting go" - Rumi - Do you often feel like you are living in a world where no one really gets what you are experiencing? Do you need a safe, open, non-judgmental space to talk through life's challenges? I am committed to providing a safe space to the people of Tennessee. It is challenging to live in a region where you fear your views, thoughts, and philosophies don't align with the people around you. I am a queer and LGBTQ+ safe and affirming space. Meet Cosmo! He is the pup (old dog) in the last pic. He will be in session unless otherwise requested.

Having worked in several college counseling centers, I especially enjoy working with young adults.
I'm so glad you're here! Pursuing therapy is a courageous choice that can feel daunting and uncertain. I hope to demystify the process and encourage feelings of trust, safety, and empowerment. My goal is to help folks gain insight, learn new coping strategies, and increase their self-confidence, self-compassion, and self-advocacy. It is important to me to get to know you, how you see the world, and the ways in which your identities, lived experiences, and environment impact your mental health. I provide individual and group therapy services to individuals ages 15 and up.

Additionally, I have over 25 years of experience as a therapist working alongside adults, children, adolescents, and families who have experienced trauma.
I believe you are exactly where you need to be.... Right now. Rumi said it best: "The wound is the place where the light enters you." The suffering, the vulnerability, the anger and the fear are perfect opportunities to shine a light of awareness and begin healing. I offer a safe space for each awareness to unfold without judgement. My approach tends to be ecclectic and holistic, incorporating spiritual practices to raise your consciousness in order to create alignment with your heart, body, and soul so that healing may begin.

I am a trauma-informed therapist who helps adults unlearn behaviors that are keeping them from being the person they want to be.
You are ready to take care of you but how the heck do you do that? Your beautiful heart and soul are experts at intuitively knowing what others want and need, however, figuring out what you want and need (and, if we're being honest, not feeling guilty for having wants and needs) feels really confusing, kinda terrifying and, perhaps, down right impossible. I want you to know that it is confusing, quite scary but, most definitely, not impossible to take care of you first so you can be all the things you want to be for those you love and care about the most.

My experience includes working with adults who were raised in dysfunctional families, who have experienced trauma, who have developed addictions to substances and unhealthy behaviors, and have issues attaching securely in their relationships.
What an honor it is to share space with folks who want to enjoy their lives to the fullest! I'm here to help you improve relationships, regulate emotions, overcome past hurts, and plan for living your best life. I'll work with you to move past barriers so that you can achieve your goals. I am passionate about empowering you to be the greatest version of yourself. If you measure yourself as a "human doing" instead of a "human being”, if you have difficulty setting boundaries with friends and family, if you find yourself repeating the same patterns that are no longer serving you, I'd love to talk with you.

In my practice I typically work with adults individually (in one-on-one sessions). Many of my clients have experienced problems with mood, particularly anxiety, depression, and other mood disorders. I especially enjoy working with individuals who are needing assistance with difficult relationships, trauma recovery, transitional life issues, and stress management.

Life gets more complicated every year for young adults, and it can feel impossible to cope with daily demands. Work, school, relationships, feeding yourself, family, self-care—it can all become hard to juggle. I can help you manage the chaos and create calm. I specialize in working with young adults who are in life transitions. It’s common for young adults to struggle with disordered eating, anxiety, depression, identity, and academic/job stress. Often times, perfectionism and our inner critic make things worse, deepening depression, ramping up anxiety, and complicating relationships with food. Can you relate?

Hey there! I’m a therapist who works primarily with adults and teens who are dealing with anxiety and stress, and often other psychological and emotional challenges. Many individuals who are seeking therapy have started to feel overwhelmed and disconnected, and want to regain (or find for the first time) a sense of freedom and comfort in their own mind and body. I love helping clients learn to manage anxiety so that it is no longer distressing and interfering with daily life. I am also passionate about working with clients to navigate relationship concerns and family issues, when appropriate and desired.

As such, I offer empowerment-focused, skills-based therapy to motivated teens & adults facing anxiety in all its forms, insomnia, OCD, phobias, panic attacks, body-picking & pulling, depression, PTSD & other traumas.
You're unsettled, overwhelmed, burned out. Worst-case scenarios and defeating thoughts stop you from finding peace, and it seems like panic is becoming the norm. You avoid, distract, or argue with yourself to get some quiet, only for the process to start right back up, or worsen. You wonder, "Why can't I stop...(insert thoughts/emotions)? How come...(insert standard solution) isn't working? What's WRONG with me?!" You want to be the calm, capable, and in-control person you envision, you're just not sure where to start. But, healing IS possible and it's nearer than it seems. You've already taken the first step by considering therapy!
