My ideal client is an
adolescent
or young adult who is struggling and needs a safe space where they can be heard and explore their own identity, thoughts, and feelings. The clients can be searching for someone who will accept them unconditionally and be able to hold space for them, and I would love to be that person for you.

I specialize in
Adolescent
, Young Adult and Men's issues.
Understanding that for most, making the decision to enter therapy is a difficult step, it is essential that I not only connect and relate, but I provide a degree of noticeable relief or insight within the first session. This is especially true with adolescents, young adults and men, who tend to be resistant at the onset of the therapy process. I meet my clients where they are at, build upon their strengths to address their struggles, establish mutually agreed upon goals, and become an advocate for their overall growth and well-being. I am affirming, but direct in my approach.

Navigating through life is tough. Overcoming life's challenges alone is that much more difficult. I aim to provide a supportive, collaborative environment to walk alongside you through emotional healing, personal growth, or any life transition. No matter where you are on your journey, you deserve the reminder that it's okay to not be okay and that wellness is possible. My practice currently focuses on women and
teen
girls working through depression, anxiety, trauma, and self-esteem/identity concerns. I strive to provide a safe space for authenticity and welcome all cultural backgrounds, sexual orientations, and spiritualities.

My areas of skill and experience include: helping couples restore love and connection in their relationship; coaching men who are seeking to establish more meaningful personal and professional relationships; supporting those impacted by cancer or facing end of life; and working with
adolescent
boys through social, emotional or spiritual challenges.
My work as a therapist is based on a conviction that our choices and relationship patterns are fueled by our need to experience wholeness and heal the brokenness of our past. This concept lies at the core of attachment theory and is a powerful tool for helping us understand why we struggle with others and with our own internal critic. In my therapeutic work, I leverage aspects of Imago, Strengths, Solution-focused, Internal Family, and Relational-Cultural theories to help clients progress towards deeper and more meaningful connections with themselves and others.

Are you troubled by self doubt, questioning your or your partner's level of commitment, or contemplating walking away from a relationship? Perhaps you are feeling disconnected from others or frustrated by an unsatisfying sex life. Is the conflict in your family extreme? Are you struggling to coparent effectively? You may be single and exasperated by the drama that sometimes comes along with dating. Or, a parent who is helplessly watching your child or
adolescent
struggle educationally or in social relationships. If any of these statements resonate with you, I can help you navigate your journey to contentment, confidence, and bliss.

It’s easy to lose connection with yourself. Because of trauma, painful experiences, or negative messages that make us question our value, we lose access to the innate resources we have available to us and feel like we’ve gotten stuck or veered off course. My desire is to partner with you to acknowledge and embrace the parts of yourself that feel burdened by the stressors of life, feel stuck and burnt out in their roles, and feel at odds with each other. My clients are primarily
adolescent
girls, adult individuals, and low-conflict couples, who hope to find healing and connection within themselves and with others.

The pandemic anxiety is no joke. Neither is the trauma of an ongoing stressor. While our brains and bodies are wonderfully 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 join you on your journey! I have experience working with clients of all ages on issues such as trauma, anxiety, grief, perfectionism, work burnout, and child/
adolescent
behavior.

I love to work with clients who struggle with anxiety, depression, substance use disorders, low self esteem/self compassion, and histories of trauma. I don't believe you need to “find your voice.” Instead, let's teach you how to use your voice so others will listen. I believe in therapy, and its benefits. I want to help you see therapy in a whole new light. Let's get you feeling better and living well.

My background in nursing and kinesiology blends beautifully with therapy for trauma and chronic illness . I have experience working with
adolescent
and adult women recovering from codependency, trauma, emotional abuse, depression, anxiety, and low self esteem. I have curated a unique, focused style of therapy that combines somatic exercises, creativity, and evidence-based therapies. I operate from the perspective that the healing process is not about changing ourselves. Rather, healing is simply creating space for the seemingly dark, ugly, and shameful parts within us. These parts want to be seen and accepted, just as we all do.

Sometimes, your
teen
has experienced a traumatic event or is just having difficulty navigating life’s changes, such as divorce; the death of a family member; adoption; or adjusting to school, friends, and their self-identity. Communicating how they feel, especially to their parents, is not a
teen
’s strong point. As a result, both the
teen
and parents become frustrated. Adolescence is a significant life transition. Without some guidance (or interpreter), the process becomes a rocky road for all involved.

Teen Therapists
Adolescence can be a time of both disorientation and discovery. The transitional period can raise questions of independence and identity; as adolescents cultivate their sense of self, they may face difficult choices about academics, friendship, sexuality, gender identity, drugs, and alcohol.
Most teens have a relatively egocentric perspective on life; a state of mind that usually abates with age. They often focus on themselves and believe that everyone else—from a best friend to a distant crush—is focused on them too. They may grapple with insecurities and feelings of being judged. Relationships with family members often take a backseat to peer groups, romantic interests, and appearance, which teens perceive as increasingly important during this time.
The transition can naturally lead to anxiety about physical development, evolving relationships with others, and one's place in the larger world. Mild anxiety and other challenges are typical, but serious mental health conditions also emerge during adolescence. Finding a teen therapist in Nashville and addressing a disorder early on can help ensure the best possible outcome.
