Substance Use Therapists in Nashville, TN
I tailor my approach to meet the needs of those who come to see me, but offer every individual the respect and compassion they deserve. Maybe you are seeking insight and awareness for the purpose of personal growth. Perhaps you are looking to address a particular issue and need someone who can be goal directed and offer specific skills and feedback. Maybe it's hard to name just what is going on and this is one of the reasons you have decided to seek help. No two people come to therapy for the same reason because no two people are the same.

I work with people navigating some of life's most significant seasons — from pregnancy, postpartum, and the emotional rollercoaster of new parenthood, to addiction and recovery, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, and life transitions. What brings most people here is simple: life got heavy, and they're ready to stop carrying it alone. As a therapist I hope to offer a warm space for honesty, for healing, and for being very human. Whatever you're walking through, there is something on the other side of it, and I'd love to be someone who walks that path of finding that with you.

I also want to help you recognize and challenge distorted thinking that prompt negative feelings and unproductive behaviour. Do you assume the worst will happen? Do you think you are not good enough? Are and anxious and depressed because of bad experiences?

Reflections Counseling Group was founded on the principle that everyone is capable of living a full and healthy life. It is not until we take the time to evaluate and reflect on life's experiences that we begin to live out the life we have and move towards the life we want. Taking an honest assessment of what is before us is where the work begins.

I have decades of experience and extensive training in trauma, substance abuse, neurodivergence, depression, & anxiety. I have a wealth of knowledge about the legal, school, and healthcare systems. I am comfortable working with people from every walk of life, including those who are people of color, disabled, and/or who identify as LGBTQ+. I specialize in working with adolescents and have worked with numerous trauma survivors. Mental health issues are often the direct result, not of individual responses to stress, but a reaction to a variety of societal ills - racism, homophobia and transphobia, ableism, economic inequality, etc.

As a therapist, I pay attention to the emotions, relationship patterns, and themes that shape your life. Often, the most important parts of our experience are just out of sight—feelings we set aside, memories that stay with us, or reactions we don’t fully understand. Therapy gives you a place to explore these with curiosity instead of judgment. It’s not only about easing symptoms; it’s about comprehending your responses, gaining insight, and making real changes.

I work with individuals and couples to break old patterns, move through stuck places, and discover new pathways for growth. My approach centers on three key models: the Trauma Model (how unprocessed pain shapes perception), the Patterns Model (the unconscious strategies we use to survive), and the Story Model (the narratives we tell about who we are and what’s possible). We process through emotions, thoughts, and the body to shift out of limiting states and move toward the higher self. I work best with those who are ready to do the work.

Hello! Let's be real, so many people live their lives day-to-day, bottling up those hard-to-deal-with emotions or struggling to find stability with regulating themselves in a healthy, productive manner. I believe that through therapy, one can receive the emotional/mental support to achieve the goal of living a true, authentic life. The goal here is not perfection, but to at least begin moving towards a life you actually enjoy. It's time to be who you are truly meant to be.

My clients appreciate my "realness", warmth, engagement and curiosity. They struggle with anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, feeling lost, unloveable and broken, and being stuck in patterns they don't like. Many experienced childhood trauma that hurt their sense of self.
Others come for support during life transitions and changes in relationship status, parenthood stages, moves, careers, and the loss of a loved one. I work with couples and adult family members who have a fear of conflict and tend to give up what they need in their relationships, and also those who fight easily and find conflict escalates quickly.

Many obstacles can interfere with living life to its fullest, but they don't have to. Creating a focused plan and sticking with it can be life changing, and at times deeper issues are at play. In my practice I work with high performing individuals such as Athletes, Entertainers and Public Figures, as well as their families. Having competed and worked in the Sport and Entertainment Industries for more than twenty years, I've developed a unique approach incorporating performance psychology, positive mental health and mindfulness to consistently help clients around the world meet and exceed their goals.

One of the most meaningful parts of the human experience is being in relationship. Whether it’s premarital, marital/partnership or divorce adjustment, I love to help couples discern the kindest, safest, most loving way to navigate their world. The relationships we had with our primary caregivers often serve as a template for how we negotiate romantic partnership, and those models don’t always work for us. We carry the stories of all attachment relationships with us, and they impact the way we interact with our partners. When the going gets tough and love itself is not enough, how do we turn toward our chosen ones instead of away?
