Attachment-based Therapists in Nashville, TN
Hi, I'm Sydney. I am passionate about working with folks who are healing from complex and relational trauma, and are addressing complicated relationships with food and their bodies. In general, I work with clients who have identified patterns or behaviors that aren’t working for them anymore. They are ready to make a change but may be unsure about where to start or what that may look like (which is where I come in!). My hope is that I can assist my clients in learning how to exist in their bodies and engage with their emotions in ways that feel safe and accessible.

If you find yourself stuck in unproductive patterns in your thoughts or relationships, you are definitely not alone. Feelings of anxiety, depression, and internal struggle can quickly become part of the daily grind. If you're unsure where to begin, therapy can help you find new insight into painful problems.

Life presents many challenges and complexities, and I believe that having a compassionate, objective, and nonjudgmental guide can make a significant difference in someone's journey. I strive to help my clients feel accepted, supported, celebrated, and empowered. Through my experience as both a counselor and a client working on my own mental health, I’ve seen how powerful a strong therapeutic relationship can be—and one client even said I reminded her that “therapy can sometimes be fun!"

I work with people of all ages, but am especially passionate about supporting adolescents and young adults. I believe the answers we seek are within us, but can become buried beneath the stress or busyness of life, conditioning, trauma, and hurt. Using talk therapy, somatic work, IFS, EMDR, and various client-dependent approaches, I aim to create a safe space where individuals can be fully seen and supported with compassion and truth.

I am passionate about helping clients find their voice and embrace their autonomy. I want to help create and hold a healing space that allows my clients to take up that space authentically. As a queer and gender non-conforming individual, I am especially passionate about working with folks within these communities.
I work with relationship systems such as monogamous couples, ethically non-monogamous systems, and families, as well as with individuals. I enjoy working with members of the LGBTQIA+ community, neurodiversity, disordered eating, trauma, identity exploration, and sex/intimacy concerns.

I believe that we are designed to exist with the whole of ourselves being able to commune together and take up space. Maybe you even believe it and yet as hard as you have tried, there are just some places within yourself that feel impossible to get to, some patterns that feel impossible to move out of, some emotional expressions and experiences that feel so out of reach. Or maybe you just feel stuck. Stuck in ways you can name and in some you can’t even put words to. Maybe it’s been like this forever — maybe you can’t even think of a time when you didn’t have to be vigilant or anxious or disconnected from parts of yourself.

I draw from psychodynamic and attachment-based theories, as well as from my advanced training in trauma treatment (including EMDR) and modern analytic group therapy.
Life can feel overwhelming at times — whether from a painful loss, a shift in relationships, or an old trauma that still lingers. You may find yourself stuck in patterns you can’t quite change or struggling to navigate transitions in your relationships, work, or phase of life.
I provide a warm, steady space where together we can explore what feels unmanageable and move toward clarity, strength, and a greater sense of wellbeing. I specialize in helping people who are ready to engage in honest self reflection and pursue a deeper dive into what is keeping them from feeling whole.

You’ve been carrying a lot — maybe quietly. Even when things look “fine” on the outside, inside you may feel drained, anxious, or disconnected. You’re not broken — you’re human. Many of my clients are high-achieving professionals who appear composed and capable yet feel weighed down by overthinking, self-doubt, or the constant pressure to do more. In therapy, the goal is to turn down the noise that keeps you stuck so you can refocus on what’s meaningful and fulfilling. Together, we’ll uncover what drives your stress, strengthen how you relate to yourself and others, and create more calm, clarity, and purpose in daily life.

You’re a high-achiever, yet on the inside you feel overwhelmed and disconnected. When it comes to emotions or relationships, it feels like you’re missing a piece of the puzzle. Maybe communication feels hard- you feel distant from your partner, or even from yourself. I love helping individuals and couples who feel “stuck in their heads” experience what it feels like to reconnect: with themselves, their emotions, and the people they care about.

If you have experienced life in ways that feel like it’s out of control, or that you may not recover from events that have unravelled, I’d be honored to listen. Life happens and can be disillusioning and debilitating. Sometimes it requires a witness for hope and healing. It’s not uncommon to think or feel like “no one will really understand” or “this is insurmountable.” You’ve come this far. Keep going. I’d love to work with you if you’d like to start talking about it.

Are you feeling overwhelmed, stressed, anxious or depressed? Maybe you've been having thoughts of not being good enough or questioning your identity. You might be the kind of person who is used to having it all figured out and can usually manage things on your own, but lately it’s been feeling like too much to handle. Stress is starting to negatively impact your relationships, work and health. Trying to carry this weight can be emotionally and physically exhausting especially when you’re trying to do it alone. That’s where I come in.

As you grew up and made your way through the world, you may have found yourself disconnected. You may have been told that who you are isn't okay and needs to be changed to be acceptable. You may have found that your relationships don't feel as satisfying as you hoped they would be. You may, as a result, find yourself with that nagging feeling that no matter what, you're somehow too much and not enough all at the same time. As your therapist, I want to help you get back in touch with who you are so you can live more authentically into your values, identity, and desires.

Do you ever feel like you just need to vent or give someone the tea without worrying it’ll be spilled later? Are you craving real connection but not sure how to get there? Maybe you're feeling stuck in your relationship, overwhelmed by a life transition, or just tired of carrying it all alone. You might be navigating conflict with your partner, adjusting to a new season of life, or sitting with emotions that feel too heavy to name. If you’re moving through something big like pregnancy, early motherhood, singleness, or the shift into empty nesting, you deserve support that feels safe, steady, and judgment-free.

I work with clients that struggle with disordered eating, body image struggles, substance use issues, anxiety, life transitions, and trauma. I also see couples hoping to reconnect with one another and get back to the roots of their relationships. Clients who see me generally are looking for a direct, though warm and empathetic, therapist. My clients are seeking support, but also tangible solutions and I’m excited to help them identify those! Therapy should be helpful and you should walk away with a true feeling of progress.

Anxious in love? Do you overthink, constantly wonder, "what if?" and worry that the next disagreement will end it all? Does this leave you feeling like you're "too much"? I’d be honored to help you (or you and your partner) reconnect with yourselves and each other, build secure love, confidence, and self-compassion. I use Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), one of the most researched approaches for couples therapy with 30+ years of empirical support. I may be biased but I think it's the greatest model for couples work. Red Therapy Group is an EFT practice that prioritizes continued learning and EFT-specific supervision.
