Transgender Therapists in Nashville, TN
I serve clients in TN, CO, OR, CA, and NJ. Are you feeling overwhelmed by the effects of trauma, anxiety, or depression and struggling to move forward despite your best efforts. What we might work on together: Anxiety that feels overwhelming or confusing; Fear of your own emotions (or feeling too much… or nothing at all); Rumination that keeps you stuck in loops; Low self-esteem or a harsh inner voice. Because when you’re afraid of how you feel, everything tightens.
And when you learn how to relate to those feelings differently—even a little—things start to open up.

Many of us struggle with defenses and behaviors we have developed in order to escape the pain of our lives, whether it be in the form of substances, food, sex/relationships, work, perfectionism, dissociation, or something else, and in our understandable attempts to avoid this pain we become disconnected from our authentic self and body in the process. As a result, we can often wind up creating even more suffering for ourselves and begin to not only numb the pain, but the joys as well.

Do you feel weighed down by the pressure to hold everything together, even when you’re running on empty? Have you ever hidden pieces of yourself just to feel safe or to keep the peace? Do you long for the space to finally bloom into your whole, authentic self? You don’t have to keep carrying that alone; this can be a space where you’re free to exhale, show up as you are, and come home to yourself.

All are welcome here! I'm dedicated to supporting clients of all ages through a variety of areas, including dissociative disorders (DID/systems), complex trauma, developmental/relational trauma, self-esteem struggles, life transitions, and dysfunctional family systems. While survival strategies may have been effective in the past, therapy provides a platform to explore new pathways to healing. I trust in every client's innate creativity, resourcefulness, and resilience, offering support and connection while navigating this journey. Together, we'll cultivate resources for growth and empowerment.

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.

You don't have to know exactly what's wrong to start therapy. Sometimes it's a pattern you keep hitting, a feeling you can't shake, or just the sense that something needs to change.
I am a relational therapist working with adolescents, adults, and couples navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, disordered eating, & the perinatal period. I provide affirming care to members of the LGBTQ+ community. My approach is depth-oriented and collaborative. We won't just manage symptoms; we'll get curious about what's underneath them.

I believe you deserve the opportunity to meet your most authentic and confident self and to find joy in the journey of doing so. Whether that means healing from trauma, finding where you belong, or learning how to get out of your own way— we can work together to make space in your life for what matters, and that's you. I also acknowledge that each of us exists within larger systems (some of which can be inherently unjust) and that building such a life often requires you to find belongingness and support both from within and from without. I strive to make therapy a healing space but also approachable, safe, and even silly sometimes!

Making that initial contact is by far the hardest part. I appreciate you reaching out to me. Making it easy to discuss difficult topics is my job, and that happens by making sure you know you are in a safe, supportive, non-judgmental environment. People may seek out counseling due to a wide variety of feelings: fear, anxiety, stress, depression, anger, sadness, confusion, apathy, heartbreak, grief, or any other aspect of the incredibly complex human experience. I'm honored to help you on your journey towards emotional recovery and growth. I try to keep costs reasonable and affordable.

**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.

I’m so glad you’re here and taking the first step toward finding a space where you can feel safe, supported, and truly understood — even if it starts with just a conversation over coffee. I’ve worked in the counseling field for the past seven years, including experience as a school counselor, which has given me valuable insight into helping parents navigate challenges and become the best version of themselves.
I genuinely love connecting with people and walking alongside them through different seasons of life. Recently, I’ve become especially passionate about supporting individuals experiencing anxiety, pregnancy and postpartum.

Isolated? Fearful? Tired of doing it alone? It's a new day, and I can help. I adhere to the belief that nobody's story is too painful to be heard or healed-even yours.

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.

Being human can be tough, and carrying old wounds can be painful. Pain often speaks to us through patterns of protection, ways we have survived. I help creative, vibrant & sensitive people return to the body's wisdom, gain access to their authentic nature, and find deeper presence in life. Through a somatic, experiential, and relational approach, we navigate lived experience, relationships, the collective field, and the impact within. I approach healing through a non pathologizing, holistic lens— believing that we do not need to be fixed, but given safe permission to be ourselves, fully witnessed and alive in this human experience.

Is your child struggling with something and you're unsure of how to best help? Maybe your child is struggling to manage their big feelings in healthy ways. Maybe your preteen is struggling with perfectionism or navigating friendships. Maybe your teen is struggling with anxiety about the future. Maybe your family is facing some problems that are causing conflict. Whatever the problem, I want to help your child be the best possible versions of themselves.

My clients are trans, non-binary, and queer people who have experienced trauma, survived gender-based harm, or not felt accepted in a vital relationship, often with a caregiver or partner. Sometimes they are healing from a relationship that was clearly traumatic: an abusive partner or violent parent. Other times, childhood just felt confusing, lonely, or hard. Some clients have started to wonder if the relationship they're in is a little bit toxic. And some simply hold an identity that others feel entitled to invalidate, deny, or oppress. But almost always, the relationship that hurt is also one that promised love and security.

I'm passionate about helping people heal and grow, bring joy into their lives, reach their goals and improve their relationships. I specialize in working with folks with anxiety, depression, bi-polar disorders, ADHD, ASD, OCD, self-esteem issues, relationship issues, women's and body-image issues, and LGBTQ+. I offer neurodiversity-affirming care with a feminist lens. I foster a safe space for folks to explore their inner thoughts, feelings, desires and fears, free of judgement. My clients often experience positive changes in their life as a result from their therapy experience.

I am a caring and empathetic person who has a heart for helping people. As a therapist I seek to work collaboratively with clients in establishing treatment goals. My hope is that clients will learn new and healthier ways of living and gain a greater ability to treat both themselves and others with compassion. It takes courage to step into the therapy room, so I work to provide a disarming and open space for clients to share. My curiosity guides me as I get to know people for who they are and I enjoy helping clients learn to think, feel, and act in new, productive ways to become the people they want to be.
