Substance Use Therapists in Nashville, TN
Being a human is hard. Things happen that leave us feeling lost and uncertain of what to do with it all. On top of that, we hold a lot of what happens to us in the body, creating a struggle between what we feel and what we know, and wreaking havoc on our ability to function in the here and now. I am passionate about exploring this struggle through the creative arts, somatic work, and talk therapy. Words aren’t always enough, and using a blend of these three approaches opens up a deeper well from within our spirits. From that well, new life springs forth and we connect with our most authentic self.

My ideal client is someone who feels trapped by shame, the LGBTQ individual exhausted by explaining their identity, the trauma survivor haunted by memories they can’t outrun, or the couple drowning in silence after betrayal. They want more than “coping” they crave a space where their sexuality, identity, or pain isn’t pathologized, but met with respect. Often tired of judgment from society, partners, or their own inner critic, and need a therapist who "gets it". Clients seek to reclaim agency to untangle trauma’s grip, rebuild trust after infidelity, or finally embrace desire without guilt. They’re ready to heal, not just survive.

If you are like me, relationships are most important to you. Do you ever ask yourself why relationships are so hard? Why do we hurt the ones closest to us? I have developed an understanding and skillset that my clients can use to create lives and relationships they are proud of. I have specialized training as a sex therapist and family mediator; plus I utilize NVC, a powerful framework, to bring skillful communication techniques into my practice. I believe therapy is a collaborative effort and there is always hope for improvement. Do you just need a push or a listening ear to get the results you and your loved ones long for.

You might feel stuck in cycles you don’t fully understand—struggling in your relationships, caught in patterns of addiction, or questioning your sense of worth. You may long for connection but aren’t sure how to let your guard down. I work with adults and couples who are curious, even if hesitant, and ready to look inward. My ideal client wants to understand how past wounds are shaping their present and to feel more whole, grounded, and free. Together, we’ll explore what’s beneath the surface and move toward a life that aligns with who you really are.

It's okay to be a unsure what you need out of therapy. It's ok to recognize that things aren't going well but can't exactly figure out why or how to change this. Questions and curiosity about the way we operate in our lives is wonderful starting place! It is okay if you've been to therapy before but still feel stuck. We are each full of endless potential.

Worried your concerns may be too embarrassing or taboo? Nervous about "un-bottling" your inner concerns? In a society that values individuality, we’re often conditioned to believe we have deal with our mental health concerns alone. However, many people also avoid therapy for fear of sitting in a stuffy room with a prescriptive doctor-style therapist. That’s not me. Therapy with me isn’t stuffy or prescriptive; rather, it’s a simple conversation between two people that invites authenticity, fun, joy, sadness, cussing, laughing, and the realness of humanity.

Life can be difficult at times. Perhaps you are wanting to make some changes in your life, or relationship. I believe that most of us CAN make the changes we deeply want to, particularly if we have a kind and knowledgeable advocate to that process. You may have reservations about asking for support.

It is wonderful to meet you! I am a therapist and social worker. I primarily work with adults struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, substance abuse, grief, parenting struggles, and domestic violence. My approach to therapy is that I truly believe everyone has the ability to heal, but you may have never been given the opportunity or the tools to do so. I also believe that therapy is never a one-size-fits-all. Therapy is a collaborative process in which we work together to find the best way of healing for YOU. Some of the modalities I use to equip my clients to heal include EMDR, CBT, ACT, DBT, and solution-focused therapy.

Much of what brings people to therapy is some version of the same questions: Who am I? and How did I get here?
Transitions (anticipated or not) have a way of surfacing these questions. The end of a career. The beginning of a family. A milestone birthday that leaves you feeling more lost than celebratory. Whatever the circumstances, it can be hard to find your footing.
I focus on helping people move through uncertainty without losing themselves in it. In our work together we consider what once was, what currently is, and what may or may not come.

My clinical experience includes providing treatment for anxiety, mood, and substance use disorders.
Arriving at the place of wholeness oftentimes is a journey. That path has “detours” and “construction” blocks along the way. Some of us barrel through those and some of us turn around. Either direction leaves us in a place where we need healing. We all have the strength to conquer our adversities and I want to partner with you.

Thank you for your interest in my practice. Choosing the right therapist is undoubtably an important decision. In fact, research has demonstrated that which therapist you work with matters far more than the techniques or approach he or she employs. I work with adults of all ages and am especially drawn to helping people who are open-minded, motivated and eager to learn. I have a passion for helping people improve their relationships (both with themselves and others), and I also love working with people in therapy groups.

Choosing a therapist can be a difficult decision. I recognize that sharing your life story with someone you are just meeting can feel very uncomfortable. In our sessions, I will try to bring a sense of calm confidence between you and me based on trust. Trust that I use evidence-based practices… trust that I will work just as hard as you do each session… trust that I use affirmative practices… and trust that I am ready to listen.

Does it sometimes feel like you’re stuck in the darkness and it’s hard to see where to go next? Do you want to increase a sense of connectedness in your life and relationships? If so, therapy can be a safe harbor from which to slow down and cast a light in your internal life and find ways to live more authentically. I have helped individuals struggling with anxiety, depression, complex trauma, life transitions and relational issues live life more fully. I also have experience helping immigrant and Latinx clients navigate challenges. I believe in each person's capacity to find the way to a brighter and more meaningful life.

Is stress, burnout, anxiety, anger, depression, or substance misuse impacting your daily life and affecting your relationships? Therapy should be a proactive process that empowers you to experience results instead of just talking about it over and over again. I specialize in helping you take back control by addressing high-performance stress & environments, burnout, and traumatic events that disrupt your life. Many of my clients lead during emergencies and never thought that they’d be looking for help themselves including military service members, veterans, first responders, medical professionals, and their family members.
