Teletherapy for Nashville, TN

As an AASECT Certified Sexuality Counselor working with individuals and couples, I combine evidence-based best practices with experience as a Tantric Sexuality Educator and practitioner, offering a supportive environment for thorough and constructive exploration of sexual matters. Questions and concerns may be talked about openly without fear of embarrassment or criticism. As a Mind-Body Psychotherapist, I help clients talk through issues and learn to utilize emotions as embodied resources for healing and growth, encouraging awareness of connection between body, mind, and spirit. My background as a pastoral psychotherapist and experience with body therapies such as yoga, breath-work, and meditation inform my work.

How do you learn to accept and love yourself, letting go of shame and self-doubt, so you can become fully and authentically you? How do you overcome trauma and regulate your emotions? How do you love others and set healthy boundaries? These are questions I can help you answer. My approach is warm and affirming; l enter each session with openness, curiosity, and a trauma informed lens. While I provide clinical expertise, I honor that you are the expert on yourself, your values, and your culture. I strive to meet you where you are, working together to make decisions about your treatment.

I help folks with anxiety and complex trauma move from avoiding their emotions towards processing them, from being highly self-critical with a harsh inner voice towards self-compassion and kind curiosity, from emotional reactivity towards emotional responsiveness. I do my best work with individuals and couples who experience repeated patterns of feeling and behavior but can’t seem to get off the merry-go-round, who feel disconnected from themselves and others, who may struggle with perfectionism and want so much to be seen and known by the people they love, but are fearful of showing up as their most genuine selves.

Together, we can sift through your story — the delightful, confusing, painful, overwhelming, and sorrowful parts — to validate the struggle, expand awareness, repair the hurt, and practice new strategies toward a life of wholeness. The heart is a good place. I hope to have the privilege of helping tend to yours.

Immediate appointments as of 02/16/24. As a counselor, I truly enjoy working with adults and children to overcome obstacles and situations that may have them "stuck" in unproductive and unhealthy cycles. I approach every client with respect and listen to their story to understand them fully and collaboratively work towards their goals. I believe the healing in counseling occurs in the process rather than the details of what has occurred.I see it as an honor to walk with my clients as they increase their awareness, improve insight, and develop into the best version of themselves as possible.

Steep Sliding Scale Available! Having spent many years in the music industry, I bring a unique perspective to counseling. In my time as a performing artist, I gained a deep understanding of what moves people and how connection can happen between anyone when we see each other’s humanity. I work with adults and adolescents looking to increase their overall wellness, cope with depression and anxiety, cope with grief, and increase autonomy as they navigate the challenges of an ever-changing world. I also hope to empower individuals in the creative and LGBTQIA+ communities on their self-acceptance and self-love journeys.

I am dedicated to creating a warm, supportive, non-judgmental space for personal growth and healing, where your full authentic self is welcomed. I believe that one of the most important parts of healing in therapy is developing a compassionate therapeutic relationship, built upon respect, trust, curiosity, and thoughtfulness. I work primarily with teens and adults who may be struggling with life transitions, anxiety, OCD, depression, trauma, relationship issues, and more.

Regardless of where you find yourself, you deserve to feel supported and heard. Life can bring many seasons. Some seasons can be challenging, making us question our worth and purpose. Other seasons feel permanent, leaving us feeling stuck and hopeless. Or maybe we experience a change, forcing us to shift and transition. My desire is to meet you exactly where you are, no matter the season you find yourself in. I hope to walk with you towards a place of growth as you realize your strengths and self-worth.

𝗔𝗧𝗧𝗘𝗡𝗧𝗜𝗢𝗡 𝗬𝗢𝗨𝗡𝗚 𝗔𝗗𝗨𝗟𝗧𝗦 & 𝗖𝗢𝗨𝗣𝗟𝗘𝗦: Are you struggling with hurt from the past that you've been repressing? Do you feel like you will never be good enough and that you can't help but to keep failing? Do you feel hopeless and unmotivated trying to meet your goals?Wondering why you keep making the SAME mistakes over and over again? Does all this hurt leave you with feelings of guilt, shame, fear, or pain? Are you in a relationship wondering if you chose the right person because of all the conflict? Do you fear that you might not be compatible, but find it scary to say goodbye?

Life is MESSY. It's serving chaos, stress, and curveballs left and right. And unfortunately… the messiness is probably more common than “everything going like it should.” Still, you don’t have to navigate the mess alone. If you feel lost, overwhelmed, or have no idea what to do next— let me be a partner on your path. We can work on cultivating and increasing your access to the strengths you already have inside, but may not always know how to tap into right now. I do this work because I feel passionate about supporting people as they navigate challenging life circumstances and create a life that is authentically meaningful.

One of the most difficult questions to answer is often the simplest one: What do you want? We often fixate on the needs and desires of others, losing touch with our own. I believe your desires are powerful beyond belief. They make you unique and hold the key that unlock freedom and opportunity. As we discover them, we can heal blocks, often past trauma, that hold us back, in order to create something new. I'd love to partner with you and explore where you've been and want to go. Together, we will co-create a beautiful path forward and write a compelling next chapter where you play the Hero.
