Adoption Therapists in Nashville, TN
You and I both know that life can feel unbelievably messy, unpredictable and chaotic. It's easy to get lost in the frenetic juggling of home life, work life and relationships. You can lose your sense of purpose, direction and even who you are. Experiencing some measure of difficulty, distress and pain IS life, but what happens when your usual ways of coping no longer work? It can be all too easy to surrender to the unrelenting waves of frustration, despair and disillusionment when faced with difficult experiences.

Struggling with your mental health? Going through an unexpected life transition? Managing toxic family dynamics? Living a life that you are unhappy with? These are all reasons people seek out therapy. My goal is for you to leave our sessions feeling validated and supported in the journey you currently on.

Poet Geoffrey Chaucer wrote, "time heals all wounds." You're probably searching this site because you have discovered this is not the full truth. The path to healing requires focusing some time and attention on the wounds you carry. Woundedness is the soul's voice demanding to be attended to rather than quieted. The therapeutic relationship is a conduit through which you discover your innate ability to attend to your soul and ultimately find healing.

You look like you have it together—but internally, you’re overthinking everything. You replay conversations, question how you came across, and feel anxious in your relationships even when nothing is “wrong.” You may people-please, seek reassurance, or worry about being “too much” or not enough. I work with adults who are ready to break these patterns and feel more secure and confident.

I enjoy bringing creativity into the therapeutic space and centering the process around each person’s unique needs.

Choosing a psychotherapist is a very important decision. Talking to someone new about yourself can be intimidating. I provide a setting that is comfortable, safe, and completely confidential. I ask what brings you to see me and what kind of help you feel you need. Sometimes it can be helpful to interview other professionals. Finding a good match is essential and my interest is always in what is best for the client. I do my best to make treatment recommendations and provide services most likely to help you.

It can come from divorce, health challenges, caregiving, adoption, trauma, or the loss of a life you thought you would have.
Working with me feels like talking with someone who truly gets it. I move at your pace and focus on helping you feel safe enough to share your story, even if you don’t have the words yet. Clients often tell me they feel comfortable quickly, like they can finally exhale. There is room for honesty, emotion, and even a little humor when it fits.

I believe what is most effective in therapy is finding someone who makes you feel truly seen and heard. Finding one's voice is challenging enough, and going unheard or misunderstood can be incredibly lonely and can alter our perceptions of our lives, our futures, and ourselves. I enjoy supporting others in finding their voice and rediscovering who they are through each chapter they encounter in their lives. The therapy journey can be long and on-going but is worth every step of effort to reach the level of healing and confidence we all deserve.

I am passionate about helping couples create deeper connection than they ever knew possible. I also enjoy working with individuals in all stages of life. My favorite moments are when a client says, "This is new." Many enter counseling feeling stuck in old patterns, and new experiences provide hope for healing. My practice is currently full for regular weekly clients. However, I specialize in 3-day weekend intensives with couples and I take on 1-2 new couples (from in- or out-of-state) per month for this work. Follow up work is required after the 3 days in order to continue momentum and create lasting change.
