Adults Therapists in Nashville, TN

I specialize in seeing college-aged and young adults . There is so much uncertainty right now. Feeling like you are supposed to have everything together during these times is challenging. You are grieving the loss of school or work as you know it, while trying to adjust to the new “normal.” Whatever you are feeling is completely valid. I genuinely would love to help you find some stability and normalcy while giving you tools to make everything feel a little easier and less stressful.

Adults - Are you struggling and motivated to figure out why? Had it all together but then something slipped and you're not sure what changed? Do you find yourself wondering, "This isn't who I am. How did I get here?" Consider me a light on your path that is there to help you find the way to the life you deserve to live. Teens - Tired of no one understanding? Feel like talking with some lady isn't going to do anything anyway? Need someone to trust? Consider me someone willing to learn to speak your language because I know how much you're hoping for someone to finally listen. There is hope. Together we can find the way.

I have experience and training to treat teens and adults who may be navigating difficult life challenges. I value listening and understanding from my clients’ point of views, and walking alongside my clients towards healing. This is done through developing a connection, trust, and a safe space.

Do you struggle with fear, anxiety, worry or depression? Do you avoid situations because of difficult emotions? Does your anxiety and avoidance interfere with your quality of life? Or do you feel everything in your life needs to be perfect? I am passionate about helping individuals learn to thrive again by using a combination of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Exposure-Response Prevention Therapy (ERP). I use an integrative approach to create a safe, non-judgmental, and compassionate environment in which individuals can explore and grow.

Congratulations on surviving the worst days of your life, now let me help you process them and move forward. I feel that everyone no matter, age, race, or sexual orientation deserves quality services. My job is to empower you to process, heal, and move forward with living your best life. As a social worker, I have a holistic approach to engaging my clients and an understanding how psychosocial stressors affects the process of healing.

By curiously hearing and understanding your life story through our professional relationship, I hope to unburden you of your pain and help you remove road blocks which might be keeping you from experiencing greater pleasure. I work with adults ranging in age from 18 through post retirement years and specialize in treating life transitions, relationship concerns, depression, anxiety, trauma, infertility, adoption, postpartum depression, grief, loss, and divorce. I'm sensitive to issues of diversity and inclusion, am interested in working with people from various cultural backgrounds, and am a LGBTQ ally.

"Do you see me? Do you hear me? Does what I say mean anything to you?" This is something Oprah Winfrey believes every person wants to know, and I couldn't agree more. I am so glad you're here. Reaching out for support can be hard sometimes. Being vulnerable enough to show up for ourselves and allow another person to witness that is a courageous thing. Whether you're here because someone suggested you try therapy, you've been in therapy for decades or you're somewhere in between, I'm ready to listen. And not only am I here to listen, I'm here to support and challenge you to do that hard thing or even finally face that fear.

Recognizing one's need for healing is a huge step and I am honored that you may consider my support in your journey! My niche is helping adults (18+) navigate depression, anxiety, and relationship difficulty. I also have special rates for teachers, nurses, and social workers dealing with burnout, compassion fatigue and vicarious trauma. If this is you, I would love to connect!

I work with adults , teenagers and adolescents experiencing mental health challenges such as anxiety, depression, PTSD, complex PTSD, Schizophrenia, Bi-polar, ADHD, Oppositional Defiance, Conduct Disorder, Emotional Disturbance, Functional Delay, Reactive Attachment Disorder and addiction. Additionally, I have an extensive background history working in the geriatric field with end of life issues both with the elderly and their families.

Psychotherapy is a healing process which I am honored to be a part of. I greatly respect your decision to seek change, and I will work diligently to help you. Suffering is universal but you are unique; we will collaborate to understand what ails you and create an individualized therapy experience. I listen closely, empathize deeply, and maintain a curious, open-minded stance to build an authentic bond, which is paramount in healing. Within the safety of our therapeutic relationship I will help you explore, understand, and bring about the changes you want.

Self-discovery is an intentional process which helps us create a balanced approach to change. I offer an accepting space for teens, young adults , and the LGBTQ+ community to explore identity, life changes, and relationships.

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.

I am a firm believer that everyone has a unique story to share. Often those stories reveal a lot more than meets the eye. Only when we begin embracing our stories does healing take place. By understanding and owning our past we gain the insight and ability to influence our future. I practice an approach that is holistic in nature and believe it is essential to treat the mind, body, and soul. I have worked with various specialties such as Fetal Alcohol Syndrome, Sex Addiction, Substance Addiction, Counseling for those with Autism, Couples in distress, and Severe Trauma.

I provide individual and group therapy for adults navigating life transitions, coping with health challenges, and desiring to live more fully. Whether you are at the beginning, stuck in the messy middle, or yearning for closure, I am ready to work with you to achieve your goals. You don't have to know the answers. All you have to do is be willing to show up and believe that change is possible. Together, through inquiry and with curiosity, we will engage in a dynamic, collaborative process to achieve clarity and lasting change. I will help you take meaningful action in your life.

I am honored to provide an affirming environment for people on their journey to growth and healing. In addition to providing services to individual adults and children, I provide family sessions. I come from a multicultural and bilingual background and I embrace the idea of family in all of the diverse ways it shows up in our lives.

As a therapist, I strive to create an environment for my clients that fosters acceptance and connection in a way that best supports their healing and their journey. I am interested in working with young adults with anxiety as well as persons of all ages going through a life transition. I am also passionate about spirituality and trauma healing with the LGBTQIA+ community.

In my practice I typically work with adults individually (in one-on-one sessions). Many of my clients have experienced problems with mood, particularly anxiety, depression, and other mood disorders. I especially enjoy working with individuals who are needing assistance with difficult relationships, trauma recovery, transitional life issues, and stress management.

If you’re wrestling with anger, sadness, or anxiety, you are not alone. Perhaps your personal or professional life suffers as a result. These struggles can also become more pronounced in those with a concussion/mild TBI (Traumatic Brain Injury) history, as I have experienced myself. Lost in our minds, we struggle with how to manage tough emotions and how to find small joys. Together, we will work to recapture your control, passion for life, and take steps towards growth -- helping you to be fully present for self and others. Through in person or telehealth sessions, I’m here to offer reflection and support.

The joy of therapy lies in tailoring my approach to fully leverage the unique strengths and skills of each individual client. I thoroughly enjoy cultivating an atmosphere of safety, encouragement, and hope for those whom I have the opportunity to serve. I endeavor to invite clients into a therapeutic relationship that enhances their ability to develop insight that leads to action.
