Therapists in East Nashville, Nashville, TN
If you tell yourself: “I can’t keep living like this,” we'll be a good fit. I specialize in individuals, couples, and families who've been impacted by suicidal thoughts and related concerns, such as depression, anxiety, trauma, and identity-related stress (gender, sexual orientation, ethnic/racial). These people are cycle-breakers who want to change old family patterns; stonecatchers who try to protect others from mistreatment because they know how it feels; or those who are simply tired of feeling “just ok.” Ultimately I blend the nerdy science of psychology with humility and humor to support you in building a more meaningful life.

My ideal clients are struggling with anxiety, depression, work life balance, codependency, interpersonal issues, and/or phase of life stressors. For many clients, it can be difficult to identify their wants and needs, especially those who identify as high achieving, perfectionists, creatives and/or professionals. It's my job to help clients recognize and establish trust of themselves so that they can start achieving their goals.

Therapy is about connection. I provide a holistic, client-centered, relational approach. There comes a time when help is needed from a professional to cope with life’s ups and downs and ongoing challenges. Good therapy supports integrating your life experiences. It can help you to make sense of the world again after traumatic or stressful events and gives you the skills to move forward in a healthier and happier way. Therapy is different than other relationships you may have in your life because it is completely focused on You. The ultimate purpose of psychotherapy is to help an individual find a life with purpose and meaning.

Talk therapy is not enough. My approach to therapy focuses on combining cognitive and somatic therapies to strengthen connection to self, and reduce the blocks to healing. The goal is to connect to your authenticity, and have the freedom to find positive and affirming ways to enjoy relationships with self and others. The goal is to experience life without shutting down or disconnecting, and/or using destructive behaviors to reduce pain and distress. Attaining the freedom to choose what you want for yourself, begins with taking the first step.

Life is full of twists and turns, filled with traumas and hardships that we cannot predict or control. We develop coping mechanisms to survive, to protect ourselves from pain and turmoil. These coping mechanisms may have served you well in the past, but now they may be holding you back, causing more harm than good. Through therapy, we can unearth these defense mechanisms and unravel the wounds that lie beneath. Traumas can build up over time, clouding our vision. By healing these wounds, you can begin to see yourself and the world more clearly, and shed the layers of protection that no longer serve you.

This means that I am neurodivergent, but also that I work exclusively with neurodivergent people, from a neurodivergent perspective. Neurodivergent means "a brain that diverges from the norm," I use it to refer collectively to Autism, ADHD, Dyslexia – brains that are not ill or broken, but fundamentally wired differently than the average person. If this describes you, then you've come to the right place.

Therapy should be a comfortable, non-judgmental space where you are free to bring all of your thoughts and feelings, even those parts we all have that feel awkward or uncomfortable. If you are ready to heal from past trauma, feeling stuck in relationships or creatively, or just trying to figure out what comes next in your life, we can go at a pace that feels right for you. Often people who have been through hard things have found ways to cope and survive that no longer feel helpful. Therapy is a place to connect with coping strategies, self-care practices, and relationship dynamics that feel personally fulfilling and sustainable.

While some strategies help us through difficult times, relying on them as our default can leave us feeling “stuck” and unable to move forward. I am passionate about supporting girls and women throughout their lifespan by providing tools that empower them to process, regulate, and successfully navigate the unique pressures and challenges that arise in the different seasons of life.
