Transgender Therapists in Nashville, TN
I work with individuals, couples, and families navigating codependency, trauma, relational conflict, and identity exploration. Many of my clients struggle with people-pleasing, difficulty setting boundaries, or feeling overly responsible for others’ emotions. Together, we work to untangle these patterns, fostering a sense of self-trust, autonomy, and healthy relationships. I also support LGBTQIA+ individuals (14+ y/o) facing identity-related stress, family dynamics, and societal pressures. As a queer person in the South, I know how vital affirming spaces are, and I strive to provide one where you can explore your authentic self.

Many people come to therapy feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, worry, and insecurity, frustrated with themselves for repeating patterns that get in the way of having meaningful relationships. When you’re feeling stuck and hopeless, it’s especially hard to feel compassion for yourself. One of the beautiful things about therapy is that it is a space where someone else can hold compassion and hope for you until you are able to hold it for yourself.

It is my dream and honor to help clients who feel stuck in some way in their lives and relationships work towards health, wholeness, and growth. This "stuck" feeling may show up in many different areas in life, such as relational disconnection and conflict, recurring family-of-origin issues, struggles with anxiety and depression, or generally feeling like you're at a crossroads. I firmly believe that relational wounds can only heal in relationship. Therefore, I am dedicated to creating and fostering the safe and secure therapeutic space needed for my clients to begin the hard work of looking deeper and working towards health.

I believe that no condition is permanent. Change happens, sometimes slowly, sometimes all at once, but you don’t have to navigate it alone. I work with couples, families, and individuals navigating ADHD, personality disorders, pornography use, sexual trauma, death anxiety, and religious trauma. If you’re grappling with big existential questions or feeling disconnected due to current events and political division, I offer a nonjudgmental space to explore those experiences.

I specialize in working with individuals who have experienced complex trauma. Many of my clients come to therapy feeling overwhelmed, disconnected from themselves, struggling with shame, anxiety or relationship difficulties.
Complex trauma often develops over time — through chronic stress, attachment wounds, emotional neglect, or repeated relational harm. Trauma can deeply impact one’s sense of safety, identity, and trust in others. I believe symptoms such as anxiety, dissociation, perfectionism, people-pleasing are not character flaws, but adaptive responses to experiences that once felt overwhelming or unsafe.

I work with kids, adolescents, and adults of all bodies, genders, sexualities, races, and cultures in a creative and relational way. Many of whom are experiencing symptoms such as anxiety, depression, relationship problems, and disordered eating. Many have carried the weight of traumatic experiences for as long as they can remember. Many feel that they spend excess time worrying about food and their bodies and find it hard to engage fully in their lives. They continue to feel out of control of their relationships, their bodies, and their emotions. They feel numb and isolated on the surface, and deep down feel hurt and helpless.
