Therapists in Nashville, TN
Sometimes the ways we have learned to survive difficult experiences can become the things that keep us from feeling fully present, connected, or fulfilled. You may be struggling with anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, addiction, or a major life transition and wondering how to move forward. Therapy can provide a space to better understand yourself, heal from what you've experienced, and develop new ways of coping and connecting.

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.

Some people struggle with impulsivity. Others struggle with too much control. Overthinking every decision, following rigid internal rules, and feeling like they have to perform a certain way in social situations. If you relate to the latter, therapy with me might be a good fit. You might be highly competent in many areas of life but find that when it comes to emotions and relationships, things feel frustratingly more complicated.

I work with teens (14+) and adults who feel anxious, disconnected, overwhelmed, or weighed down by experiences that have made it difficult to fully trust themselves or feel at home in their lives. I believe therapy can offer a space to slow down, feel more connected to yourself, and begin making sense of the things that may feel heavy, overwhelming, or hard to carry alone. I am especially passionate about helping people move toward greater self-acceptance, confidence, and connection—learning that who they are is already worthy of care, belonging, and love.

I work with clients ready to recover and heal from the interpersonal trauma, anxiety, and relationship issues that keep them stuck. I especially enjoy working with clients with complex trauma histories that have created patterns of high functioning anxiety, codependency, and self-neglect. This might look like finding oneself choosing and struggling to leave unhealthy relationships, overcommitted and burnt-out, or trapped in cycles of family dysfunction. Many of my clients long for healthier boundaries, more authentic connection to self and others, less anxiety and shame, greater self-worth, and a more value-aligned life.

I am a psychotherapist who works with adults in Virginia, South Carolina and Tennessee through virtual therapy. My focus is meeting clients where they are and allowing them to set their own goals, but I can only take our time in therapy and creating lasting change as seriously as my clients are willing to. We work together to set timely and achievable benchmarks and regularly review the treatment plan to track progress towards termination as a way to make sure we spend out time together efficiently. Overall, I will always prioritize my clients as long as they are willing to show up on time and do the work.

Life is so hard sometimes. My guess is that you are here because you are in the middle of something hard or you are no longer willing or able to avoid it alone. Whether you're navigating trauma, relationship challenges, anxiety, grief, or a major life transition, I wish it were easy. I wish our experience wasn't marked by hurt, sadness, loss, or the many difficult things we face. As much as I wish life did not involve this level of pain, I know there is another side to it. I know that love, celebration, joy, peace, and healing exist.

I believe every human being deserves to be seen and live in a way that brings about peace, self-love, and a positive self-image. This can be difficult when immersed in rigid cultural systems, exposed to trauma, and dealing with intense emotional pain. Extrinsic influences about gender, ethnicity, nationality, physical and mental capabilities, sexuality (and much more) can leave so many people questioning their own existence. In the face of this, daily living itself can feel like a challenge and leave a person feeling isolated and alone. My hope is to provide you with the support we all deserve in order to live as fully as possible.

Poet Geoffrey Chaucer wrote, "time heals all wounds." You're probably searching this site because you have discovered this is not the full truth. The path to healing requires focusing some time and attention on the wounds you carry. Woundedness is the soul's voice demanding to be attended to rather than quieted. The therapeutic relationship is a conduit through which you discover your innate ability to attend to your soul and ultimately find healing.

Many of my clients have spent years feeling misunderstood or like they don't quite fit in. They may be exploring gender identity and transition, navigating LGBTQ+ relationships, or struggling with ADHD, including overwhelm, executive dysfunction, emotional regulation, and late diagnosis. Others seek support for anxiety, depression, or the effects of growing up in dysfunctional families. Many are ACA members working on people-pleasing, codependency, boundaries, self-esteem, and healthy relationships. I also provide affirming care for nonmonogamy, kink, sex work, and alternative spiritual practices.
