When you cut a tree down and look at the growth rings added every year, you can see the way fire, water, wind, and people have impacted its life each year. I believe that people are no different. Our environment shapes us, and nevertheless we grow. Some years are harder than others, but even within the hard years, growth takes place.

The clients I've been most effective with have been those with what I call 'blurry trauma,' which is early attachment experiences that were less than affirming. That kind of trauma leads to addiction, less than fulfilling relationships, and difficulty harnessing the resources needed to navigate change so the client can create their most authentic life and relationships.

You may be feeling overwhelmed, isolated, anxious, depressed, and reliving past traumatic experiences, but hopeful for understanding, confidence, and peace. Through my work in sexual assault centers, domestic violence shelters, in private practice, and at Onsite Workshops I have learned how trauma is stored in the body, how it creates negative beliefs about the self, how it keeps us from living in the present moment and how it keeps us from connecting to those around us. Working with me feels like gentle confrontation and resource building in order to delve into past wounds with a deeply open, knowledgeable, and compassionate ally.

I help individuals, parents, and couples transform the fear, shame, and expectations that get in the way of deep connection with others and their most authentic self. When things in our lives feel uncomfortable or scary, we often react by finding ways to disconnect from our emotions, which only leads to things like anxiety, stress, rage, negative self-talk, obsessive thoughts, grief, conflict, and ways of coping that just don't serve us. You may know something needs to change but aren't sure where to start, or you may worry that you won't be understood or accepted. I trust that you make sense and have the capacity to heal and grow.

Finding a therapist where you can connect, trust, and experience real and lasting change can be a daunting process. I see adolescents and adults who are working through gender identity, complex trauma, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, and other issues. Using a variety of modalities, including EMDR, polyvagal therapy, play therapy, we will work together to design and implement a treatment plan that is as unique as you are. I am committed to my clients and care deeply about helping them achieve positive outcomes through therapy. Telehealth or in-person sessions.

I believe that there is hope and possibility in life for all people. I want to empower individuals and families to expand their capacity, find brave space and write a new story for themselves. Clients I work with struggle with many different things - anxiety, depression and/ or low self esteem or they may have warped relationships with food, money or sex. Yet, through creating a place where they can listen to themselves, challenge the old stories that are no longer serving them and tapping into the courage to imagine and build a new future - growth happens. Growth is possible and each person has the ability to thrive.

I provide therapy to children and adolescents ages 7-17. I specialize in: neurodivergent thinkers including autism, ADHD, and learning differences; complex trauma; eating disorders; anxiety & OCD, and gender exploration and identity. I also work well with neurodivergent adults. I view my role as a therapist to the child and a supportive consultant to the parent/guardian. I believe in the transformative power of relationship, in the power of play and connection, in the intersection of neuroscience with shared humanity, and in a strengths-based mindset for all individuals with whom I work.

I am called to this work to support folks in overcoming the hard stuff that’s getting in the way of them flourishing and being fully at home in their bodies. Creating a space that allows you to be fully seen and heard is a vital element in any authentic therapeutic relationship, and I’m committed to cultivating (and co-creating with you) a space that embodies these qualities. Working through trauma means not only healing our individual experiences, but also trauma that is cultural, systemic, and intergenerational.

Are you a young professional or creative seeking greater fulfillment in your personal, family and work relationships? Are you noticing that you put more into your relationships than you are getting out of them or becoming frustrated by a lack of mutuality and care? Perhaps you have recently experienced a break up or are struggling in a relationship that is no longer-- or never was--working. Maybe you are hoping to establish better boundaries or patterns with your family of origin or loved ones. If you resonate with any of these experiences and are ready to start the journey to more wholeness and fulfillment, I can help.

You're tired of feeling disconnected from yourself and your body. You're constantly stuck in your own head, wrapped up in self-defeating beliefs and patterns, and struggling to navigate overwhelming emotions. Maybe you're struggling with food, body image, sexual challenges, or past negative events/traumas and wonder if you'll ever be able to break free and feel at home in your own skin. Maybe you're a public figure who is trying to navigate the messiness that is being a human in the public eye. If any of this sounds like you, let's talk!

Asking for help and deciding to begin therapy is a difficult decision, requiring courage and strength. I commend you on taking the first step toward feeling better, self-awareness, and personal growth. My goal is to empower clients to make positive changes in their emotional, mental, spiritual, and physical health. As clients learn to identify & reprocess their negative beliefs, they are able to make personal improvements in lifestyle choices & relationships. I aim to provide a physically and emotionally safe and caring environment for clients to engage in a interactive process to ultimately make the positive changes they wish for.

There's so much to be unsure of right now and SO much pressure to appear to have it all figured out. My goal as a therapist is to provide a space for you to just be a human. I work with folks from adolescence throughout all stages of adulthood who are looking to feel more connected and grounded. Whether you're feeling disconnected from your body, your relationships, your emotions, your values, I aim to hold space for my clients as they figure out what they truly want out of life and find their footing when it seems lost.

I am continually amazed by humans. When faced with change, loss, fear, and trauma, they are able to pivot and experience growth, peace, joy, strength, and resilience. I’m here to provide a safe space for you to come to find the ladder. Having the opportunity to lead clients towards this good in their lives is the reason I became a Clinician. I bring my whole self to sessions and I ask that my clients do the same. I don’t pretend to be a professional robot and, because of this, you will most likely see me cry, cringe, laugh, and feel your feelings right along beside you. This is how we build, this is how we grow - I'm happy to help.

Finding a therapist who validates and reflects core aspects of your identity can be difficult. My goal as a therapist is to create a safe space for you to feel accepted, respected, and understood. I appreciate working with a diverse group of clients, especially individuals from marginalized and underserved communities (BIPOC, LGBTQ+). My approach is intersectional, collaborative, and based in a social justice framework.

I've worked with folks from a variety of ages, backgrounds, and presenting issues. One common experience that I've found brings people to therapy is often a feeling that your life is in some way not aligned with what you would like it to be or how you see yourself living it. You might be looking for a confidence boost or to make some meaningful changes in your life. I've worked with veterans, LGBTQ+ individuals, trauma survivors, and more to identify coping skills, perspective shifts, and goals to start moving forward in your life.

What type of Nashville mental health professional is right for me?
While most types of therapy have a lot in common, they also fall into clusters that share core features, such as cognitive therapies or psychodynamic approaches. It is important to seek someone who practices evidence-based therapy, meaning one or more forms of treatment that have been scientifically evaluated and tested, and demonstrate consistent improvement for a majority of patients.
If you are unsure about choosing the right therapist or psychologist, it might be useful to first learn more about therapy types and modalities.
