Intellectual Disability Therapists in Nashville, TN

Choosing a therapist is a very personal decision. Therapy is only as effective as the relationship between the therapist and client and because of this I believe the best way to determine if a therapist is right for you is to book a session and simply meet in person and to trust your instincts. My focus is to help individuals heal, energize, and become aware of their inner strengths. I achieve this by providing a neutral safe space, listening to your concerns, and customizing a treatment plan.

Sometimes things feel a little too heavy, too tangled to sort through alone. I offer a calm, collaborative space to slow down, make sense of what’s been building up, and reconnect with what matters to you. My approach is trauma-informed and rooted in ACT, mindfulness, and existential-humanistic work—always tailored to your pace, your story, your needs. Together, we’ll explore what’s showing up and what’s ready to shift.

Humans have the uncanny ability to tell ourselves stories that make us feel bad, stuck and unable to move forward. Somehow, it's easier for us to believe the worst version of what could be true than it is to see possibilities. In an attempt to belong, we may find ourselves shape-shifting to accommodate others- believing that someone other than who we are is the only way we can fit in. Over time, this can leave us with little certainty or confidence in our true, authentic voice.

In this life there is always something that makes us change. Human nature says that it is love or the loss of something or someone. If you think you need help to achieve your goals or make the necessary changes to be successful, you have to give yourself a chance. During therapy you have the necessary space to talk about the different barriers that are a challenge for you. I work with different people who are going through different personal situations, having challenges with their families, or struggling in their marriage.
