Wholeness and goodness is far more beautiful than perfection. Wholeness includes all of your emotions, anxieties, triumphs & trials, broken relationships, your past & your hopes for the future. Together we will seek progress, not perfection. I recognize the courage it takes to come to therapy; I want to hear your story & help you create a new narrative. Clinical interests include life transitions, attachment wounds, self-esteem and worth, body image, grief, trauma, anxiety, couple conflict, and pre-marital. Up close, people are easy to love and my desire is help client's become more aware and release themselves from any shame.

Are you experiencing anxiety, uncertainty or facing challenges that are making it hard to be the healthier version of you? Challenges come in many different forms and when they arise, therapy offers a supportive environment where you can speak to those experiences. The therapy hour provides time to focus solely on you. I help clients move beyond the obstacles that are intruding on their present day life, while harnessing their strengths and imparting new tools to support them as they move in a forward direction. Old patterns, stories and experiences can be resolved and transformed that create new possibilities and life fulfillment.

Are you high achieving and successful, but struggle with an inner voice that tells you that you'll never be good enough? You may work extra hard to combat this critical inner voice with overworking. Yet you're left feeling empty and insignificant at the end of the day. The adolescents and adults that I see often struggle with managing difficult emotions, anxiety, depression, and/or challenging behaviors. They have often experienced painful things in the past that they have buried. Often my clients struggle to pinpoint a specific event from their past that has impacted them.

Life is so hard some times. My guess is that you are here because you either are in the middle of the hard or you are no longer willing or able to avoid it. I wish it were easy. I wish our experience wasn't that of hurt, sadness, loss, or any of the other hard things we face. As much as I wish life did not involve this level of pain, I know there is another side to it. I know that love, celebration, joy, peace, and healing exist.

CLARITY, PEACE of MIND, CONFIDENCE, JOY and a SKILL SET by which to create and sustain a happier, healthier life, sound good? Let's face it, despite our best efforts life gets crazy at times. We can ride the slow gradual wave of disconnectedness until one day we wake up wondering "How the heck did I get here?!" Without warning we find ourselves in what I call an "uncomfortable comfortable." This turbulence is a result of life unfolding in ways we never imagined. Situations we've tried our best to "deal with" because "that's just life."

I believe that in order to be healthy and happy, the individual must be focused on growth and change. If you are not healthy or happy, then change is needed. However, several factors complicate this simple truth. We give too much or allow our power to be stolen rather than exchanged; Fear, anger, and sadness can override logic and wisdom. How we act and think affects our experience of reality. I work clients to help increase their sense of self-direction, align their behaviors with their goals, and replace the negative thoughts and behaviors with a more positive perspective.

I find that a client who is open to the intimacies of a therapeutic relationship and committed to the mental/emotional journey common in therapy has the most success in working with me. Client issues can range from low-level stress and anxiety to coping with heavy grief and trauma, as well as issues related to sociocultural identity. I also envision clients that need empathetic reflection & concrete solutions to their issues. Most importantly, my ideal client should feel empowered to collaborate with me in maximizing their wellbeing.

Often times when we feel stuck in our lives, it is because we are noticing a conflict in our internal world. Part of us feels one way, while another part feels very differently. It is my experience that we all enter this world with the capacity to feel grounded and at peace, yet as we experience the hardships of life, we lose connection with that inner safety. Instead we begin to experience the burdens of shame, grief and/or loneliness; and parts of us take on roles that may show up as anxiety, perfectionism, sadness, self-criticism, dissociation - or any other symptom, thought, or emotion that you find yourself struggling with.

What type of mental health professional is right for me?
Some of the most common types of mental health providers in Nashville are psychologists, licensed counselors, therapists, psychotherapists, and licensed clinical social workers, all of whom diagnose mental health conditions and provide individualized treatment.

Services offered, education and credentials vary by type of mental health professional. Each professional in Nashville then may specialize in certain areas, such as depression, marriage counseling, or anxiety. Although many mental health providers are not licensed to prescribe medication, they may coordinate with a provider who can.

Both in-person and online therapy sessions are available from most psychologists.

How to find a specialist?
You can refine your search using the filters on this page. There are several categories you can filter by to find mental health professionals with the experience you are looking for. You may want to filter for CBT Psychologists in Nashville, or Child Psychologists in Nashville.

Many find it useful to use filters to view only psychologists that have experience working with certain issues, like Nashville psychologists specializing in EMDR.

What method of therapy is right for me?
When it comes to treatment methods, there's no 'right way.’ Each method of therapy can be beneficial for a variety of issues. Psychologists in Nashville specialize in therapeutic approaches such as CBT, EMDR, and Interpersonal Therapy (IPT), among others. Finding a psychologist or therapist who is a good fit for you is the most important step to discovering what type of therapy, or combination of therapeutic approaches, will meet your individual needs. Learn what to expect from different types of therapy and how they work.

How to use my insurance?
Many therapists accept health insurance. Check to see if your insurance is covered. Feel free to discuss this when you contact the therapist.
