Waitlist for new clients
I have a passion for helping individuals and couples work through conflict by providing hands on tools for daily challenges. I also have a desire to help those who struggle with addiction in all forms, not just substances. I offer trauma informed therapy for individuals who have endured complex trauma of all kinds including grief and loss. If you suffer from anxiety or depression I provide more than just “talk therapy” with Brainspotting. I have a background in the public school system in Nashville. I will see both adolescent or adult clients.

In all my relationships, including and especially with my clients in therapy, I seek to operate from a place of curiosity and compassion. As vulnerable and painful as it can be to dismantle old patterns, it is even more rewarding to see clients establish new, more functional ways of being (relationally, emotionally, cognitively, physically, and spiritually). My goal is to provide a safe space to collaborate and walk alongside clients as they seek to heal, grow, and change into more of the person they want to be.

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.

As you grew up and made your way through the world, you may have found yourself disconnected. You may have been told that who you are isn't okay and needs to be changed to be acceptable. You may have found that your relationships don't feel as satisfying as you hoped they would be. You may, as a result, find yourself with that nagging feeling that no matter what, you're somehow too much and not enough all at the same time. As your therapist, I want to help you get back in touch with who you are so you can live more authentically into your values, identity, and desires.

Many of my clients came to therapy with a desire to feel confident, safety, and peace in themselves, and how they connect with others. Most have had experiences that impact how they see themselves and interact with others. These issues are often tied to trauma, anxiety, and identity. It can be difficult to move forward and it's common to feel stuck. Sometimes, people feel anxious, disconnected, unfulfilled, depressed, or overwhelmed. This can affect relationships, work, and your sense of self. I'm passionate about helping people find their way to their true self, and learn to build healthy relationships and fulfilling lives.

I work with individuals navigating anxiety, low self-worth, and major life transitions. I also specialize in grief, trauma, and substance use—whether you're personally struggling or supporting someone who is.
When I mention "trauma," I don’t just mean the big, obvious events. Trauma can come from experiences like divorce, emotional neglect, chronic illness, pregnancy loss, or feeling abandoned. If something in your story still feels heavy, overwhelming, or unresolved, it matters.
All you need to begin is a willingness to show up. From there, we walk the path together.

I believe that in order to be healthy and happy, the individual must be focused on growth and change. If you are not healthy or happy, then change is needed. However, several factors complicate this simple truth. We give too much or allow our power to be stolen rather than exchanged; Fear, anger, and sadness can override logic and wisdom. How we act and think affects our experience of reality. I work with clients to help increase their sense of self-direction, align their behaviors with their goals, and replace the negative thoughts and behaviors with a more positive perspective.
