Substance Use Therapists in Nashville, TN

Asking for help is sometimes difficult, and also powerful. Daily struggles with anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, intrusive thoughts can become overwhelming. Complex trauma, substance use , eating disorders, unhealthy relationships, are among a few that can also keep us from our authentic self. In order to survive through all of this and keep going, it is common to adapt in ways that end up no longer working. We need help. That help comes from recognizing the gifts we have in ourselves and getting the gifts of others. My gift is to help others with aligning the head and the heart while healing to recognize authentic self.

Hello- Thank you for taking the time to learn about me. I love working with adolescents, adults, and family/relational systems. I am particularly interested in working with members of the LGBTQIA+ community, facilitating trauma processes, and substance use recovery. Positivity, laughter, music, and creativity are essential elements of my practice. I look forward to helping you identify your strengths while expressing difficulties through modalities that fit your abilities and preferences.

Do you want to feel seen, heard, and accepted? Ready to remove obstacles to becoming your best self? If so, I am here for you. I approach therapy with a tremendous sense of hope and optimism, and I believe change is possible. I strive to provide an environment that is relaxing and comfortable, and consider it a privilege to sit with another person as they process their experiences. I view the therapy room as a sacred space where clients can truly be themselves, with no judgment or criticism. Only understanding, humor, and honesty.

Change is hard. It's particularly challenging when a lifestyle is built around behaviors that used to work. Fear, guilt, embarrassment, and anger often are a normal part of the process of becoming aware of the need for change. Sometimes these feelings create a barrier to the necessary change that brings relief. If you struggle with problematic substance use , either your own or someone else's, you know these statements are true. You just want reassurance that it is possible for life to be different...easier. It can be. Once a decision is made to take action...any new action...hope begins to come into focus.

Do you feel as though life is passing you by? As though you’re not in the driver’s seat of your own life? Oftentimes we go into autopilot mode because it’s familiar and feels comfortable. This autopilot mode can serve us, but when we’re constantly reacting to life automatically rather than responding mindfully, it can start to create issues for us. Therapy can be an effective way to break out of habitual patterns of thinking, feeling, and behaving that are causing us problems. I create a nonjudgmental space where you can pause to explore how to live life more intentionally and wholeheartedly.

Feeling scared or alone? Seeking help or guidance? Don't know what to do next? I am here to help. I offer support, hope, and healing for individuals and families suffering from Substance Use Disorders. My goal is to partner with those seeking recovery to set achievable goals for growth while encouraging clients to embrace discomfort. I have extensive experience treating Substance Use Disorders (SUD) and co-occurring mental health disorders including anxiety, depression, and PTSD. I also offer substance use assessments for courts and probation offices using ASAM criteria and DSM-V diagnostic tools.

Psychotherapy is a healing process which I am honored to be a part of. I greatly respect your decision to seek change, and I will work diligently to help you. Suffering is universal but you are unique; we will collaborate to understand what ails you and create an individualized therapy experience. I listen closely, empathize deeply, and maintain a curious, open-minded stance to build an authentic bond, which is paramount in healing. Within the safety of our therapeutic relationship I will help you explore, understand, and bring about the changes you want.

I believe that you are the expert of your own experience and that you already possess all of the tools and resources necessary for healing. I am simply here to create a safe space and provide guidance as you work to uncover those inherent resources and move through the process. I work with and am supportive of all humans who desire growth and change, and I have extensive experience working with LGBTQIA+ individuals, university students, persons living with HIV, and persons in recovery from substance use disorders.

Finding someone you can trust to talk to is tough. My role as a counselor is to create a safe space for people of all backgrounds, classes, orientations and creeds in order to process and receive support. My goal as a counselor is to empower, encourage, and assist my clients in improving their quality of life and making the changes necessary to achieve their goals.

Being human. Along with the beautiful parts of life comes pain, struggle, and trauma. Everyone deserves a safe person with whom they can address these things and achieve real healing. Real relief. My first goal when beginning work with clients is to create that place where they can be their authentic selves...and feel accepted. To give them unconditional support without judgement. With this relationship formed, the deeper and holistic work can begin. Healing can happen. If you're struggling with self-esteem, trauma, mood disorders, substance use ...or just struggling at all, we can work together to help you find peace.
