Sex Therapists in Nashville, TN
I am committed to walking alongside my clients as they navigate their journey of healing and growth, while honoring their cultural context, respecting their individual experiences, and embracing the interconnectedness of their relationships and communities. Grounded in a liberatory, abolitionist framework, I practice anti-carceral care and refuse to pathologize the impact of systemic harm. If you’ve ever felt “too much,” I want to embolden you to alchemize your emotions into fuel for the life you envision. I support clients with a wide range of issues, including challenges with mood, trauma, relationships, anxiety, and depression.

**Now Accepting New Clients** I see adults and adolescents who typically present with anxiety and/or depression. If I had to name just one specialty, it would be anxiety. Most people suffer some form of it at some point in their lives. When left untreated, it can lead to more severe symptoms and a whole host of diagnoses. I practice primarily Cognitive Behavioral techniques. I will talk to you about your beliefs, expectations, and how you experience the world. I'll teach you to be more accepting of yourself, so you can stop judging and reacting from created stories. I will also help you improve foundational behaviors.

For the past two decades, clients have come to me at every stage of their lives. I refer to this as their "beginnings, middles and ends" of their lifetime. I see teenagers struggling to be understood and truly heard. I help couples after the "honeymoon is over" , I assist parents with major life obstacles, I help people make difficult decisions about their careers and even guide them at the end of their lives. With each stage, I ask the client what they want out of their experience with therapy and give the client the power and voice. I guide them with their goals and help create a safe place to explore their emotions and options.

As a sex-positive, kink-aware therapist with military and emergency services experience, I offer trauma-informed, strengths-based care tailored to you.
You might be an individual or part of a couple feeling stuck in repeating patterns around communication, intimacy, or trust—whether in a long-term monogamous relationship, opening up a relationship, or navigating ethical non-monogamy or polyamory. Maybe you’re also carrying trauma, anxiety, or burnout from demanding roles such as first responder or military service. You want a nonjudgmental space to untangle patterns, feel more secure in yourself, and build relationships that feel honest, connected, and sustainable.

I am a psychoanalyst & sex therapist who is comfortable working w/ sexual pain, kinks, non-traditional relationships, and poly people (including couples where one person is GUNG-HO and the partner is OH-NO).
Modern relationships are HARD. Maybe you have found it hard to find the right person or have started to question whether the person you are with now could possibly be the wrong person. It’s tough when you feel burned by or totally confused about your current marriage or dating situation. You’ve probably made choices or overlooked things that you now regret, yet, here you are. Or, maybe you have a relationship at work with a boss and coworkers who undervalue you or play favorites with others. Your work ethic and good ideas have long taken a backseat to putting out fires. Or, maybe you are even so far gone that you are more checked-

Many struggle with life issues, however when issues arise that are very difficult to resolve, the insight of a compassionate and objective professional can be very beneficial. The issues that arise in life are as varied as the individuals experiencing them causing one to feel overwhelmed, unhappy and dissatisfied. It is my hope that you will pursue the peace and purpose in life that you deserve.

There’s often a quiet sense that something more authentic is trying to emerge, but anxiety, grief, shame, or familiar patterns make it hard to move forward.
I work with adults and teens in the Nashville area navigating life transitions, identity questions, and relationship challenges. My approach is grounded and relational, integrating psychological depth with space for spiritual exploration to support meaningful, lasting change.

Big life transitions can be both exciting and overwhelming. Maybe you are navigating marriage, postpartum or parenthood and alongside the beautiful moments that come with these changes, you are feeling overwhelmed, disconnected and stretched thin. It can be disorienting to lose parts of your identity, feel the strain in your relationship, or notice old family patterns surfacing as you’re trying to build your life and grow your relationship and family. You feel the push and pull of knowing these moments are fleeting and wanting to soak up every minute while functioning in survival mode and counting down until bedtime.

If insight were enough, this would already be different.
Most of the people I work with have already tried to figure things out. They’ve thought about it, read about it, and often have a high level of self-awareness. But in their personal life—especially in relationships—the same patterns keep showing up, and they’re harder to think your way out of.
I work with professionals, creatives, and couples who are used to being the competent ones and are ready for something actually to change.
