Anxiety Therapists in East Nashville, Nashville, TN

I am a compassionate and down-to-Earth, strengths-based therapist. I provide counseling that addresses the areas of trauma, depression, anxiety , self-esteem, substance abuse, and relational issues. I commit to providing a safe space to explore beliefs and how they impact your behavior and perspectives of yourself and the world around you while also teaching practical skills to help navigate life more effectively. I am trained in a number of evidence-based modalities which enable me to have an integrated and individualized approach. You are taking a big step! Let's journey together to create holistic wellness: mind, body, and spirit.

We are living in some particularly weird times. While our brains and bodies are adaptive and move us towards healing, sometimes we need someone to partner with us through that process of growth and restoration. Therapy creates the perfect space for that, and I would love to chat with you about how I might be able to help! The therapeutic relationship is the most important factor for change in therapy, so finding the ideal fit is crucial. I find that I work best with clients who are struggling with anxiety , grief, perfectionism, work burnout, trauma, and the transition into young adulthood (although I see clients ages 14+).

I primarily see men and women who are dealing with problems relating to anxiety and/or depression. Many of the people I treat are dealing with overwhelming life issues. During therapy we process these issues and practice strategies designed to give you coping skills you can use for your current and future situations. I am trained to provide relief on a wide variety of pressures, including, but not limited to anger and communication difficulties, grief and loss, history of trauma, adult recovery from child abuse, divorce, change of life issues, relationship conflict and men's and women's issues.

Hello! Everyone has “stuff” and it can be overwhelming to confront it alone. Having someone help sort through what life brings can be a game changer and a key to living your most fulfilling life. I am committed to supporting you in a non-judgmental and collaborative way; I view therapeutic work as a team effort, and I cherish each opportunity to compassionately walk alongside my clients in their journey towards well-being. I received my master’s degree in Counseling in March 2023 from Northwestern University and am practicing under supervision at Live Full Therapy in Nashville. I have availability Tuesday-Saturdays.

In today’s world, women and girls are faced with unimaginable stressors in everyday life — negative criticism from parents and friends about body image, anxiety and stress regarding world news, and difficulties relating to bullying, communication, and relationship difficulties on social media just to name a few. These everyday issues can trigger depression, anxiety , and trauma — not to mention exacerbate already present mental health issues such as mood disorders, eating disorders, or OCD. Our goal is to open up a conversation for women and girls to speak freely and openly about their mental heath in a space that supports women.

People choose to come to therapy for so many reasons. They feel overwhelmed, tired, stuck, or numb. As a therapist, I aim to provide a nonjudgmental space for people to feel and be understood. Oftentimes, the things keeping us stuck are the strategies we've developed over time to cope with hardship. Therapy is about addressing what is no longer working for you and connecting with your inner wisdom to develop new ways of relating to yourself & the world. I work with my clients to cultivate emotional awareness, learn skills to respond adaptively to difficult emotions, and increase connection within themselves and their relationships.

Are you feeling stuck in patterns that prevent you from thriving and succeeding in ways that deep down you know you can? Perhaps your relationships are suffering, or intimacy feels hard or scary. Whether it's anxiety , depression, posttraumatic stress, relationship problems, self-harm, addictions, or something else, my guess is these patterns emerged from a need to cope or survive. I know how hard finding an affirming and non-judgmental therapist can be, especially if you are LGBTQ+. A therapist who meets you exactly where you are right now can be the first step to building the life you want!

Has anxiety , depression, self-doubt, or a past trauma, made it difficult to sort through all the noise? Do relationships seem to deplete, rather than fulfill you? Would you like to use your insight and life experience to clarify who you are and what you need? And then, find the strength to take care of those needs? If you have a longing or urge for change, but don't know how to get there, I would love to help. Reaching out can be a great first step in acknowledging the importance of your own needs. Couples and individuals, I look forward to connecting with you and helping you down the path toward contentment and life satisfaction.

Honest self-reflection is the answer to so many of our problems. At many points throughout our lives, we learn to ease life’s burdens by shutting down, acting out, or running away in attempts to find relief. Even our most destructive coping strategies were often the best answers we could find at the time to manage our anxieties, our desires, and our pain. When we allow ourselves the opportunity to slow down and reflect on our lives, both past and present, we deepen our understanding and insight. And, as we explore our lives without moralizing and harshness, we develop genuine compassion and greater trust in ourselves.

Many people come to therapy feeling overwhelmed by anxiety , worry, and insecurity, frustrated with themselves for repeating patterns that get in the way of having meaningful relationships. When you’re feeling stuck and hopeless, it’s especially hard to feel compassion for yourself. One of the beautiful things about therapy is that it is a space where someone else can hold compassion and hope for you until you are able to hold it for yourself.

I help you build your capacity to create more of the life you want, ideally one that is healthier and more personally satisfying. To do this, you need a partner to support you in doing the hard work of facing issues and working with obstacles, so you can develop more capacity to create change. Trauma, depression, anxiety , self-esteem, boundaries, narcissistic wounding, and somatic issues are all things I work with often. Clients often reach out due to feeling anxious, panicky, isolated, frustrated in relationships, stuck in perfectionism or people-pleasing, sad or unlike their usual selves, or desiring a deeper level of healing.

Seeking help is a courageous step in many of our lives and I am honored to be given the opportunity to share in the journey of healing with my clients. I work with individuals, couples, and families to provide counseling on a wide variety of life issues. I have experience helping clients work through depression, anxiety , life transitions, trauma, grief, divorce, marital issues, job satisfaction, and family conflict.

I specialize in trauma, emotional wounds, anxiety , and identity issues. These areas are tied to the core of who you are and how you interact in the world. There are times when it is difficult to move forward and you may feel stuck. You may feel disconnected, unfulfilled, and overwhelmed. It may affect relationships, work, and your sense of self. It can be difficult to find your way back to yourself and the life you want to build. I am here to help you navigate that journey.

I help clients struggling with anxiety , depression, relationship issues, PTSD/trauma, motivation & life adjustments. Self-reflection, as opposed to self-criticism, is the solution to so many of our problems. When we are free from the usual judgments that prevent us from moving forward, we can start to examine our lives with more curiosity and can start to develop clarity into what is working and what is not. Often, wounds from our past may create limiting beliefs and get in the way of trusting ourselves and living authentically. Therapy can help us shift out of the survival patterns that keep us stuck and find a new way forward

I help women and girls unlock their true potential in therapy by providing a space that is filled with empathy, authenticity, and inspiration. My approach to therapy is hands-on and client-centered, as each woman's story is unique. I believe that one of the first and most powerful steps in therapy is simply developing an innate sense of self awareness around your thoughts, emotions, and story while learning to make meaning from past experiences. Providing a relatable and modern approach to therapy is one of my main goals as I help you learn to break free from negative patterns that keep getting you stuck.
