Anxiety Therapists in Nashville, TN

I have a passion for counseling women and girls, preteens through adulthood, while they discover their identities and develop their voices. Throughout my professional experiences in treatment centers, private schools, and private practice, I've worked exclusively with women and girls as they tackle a variety of mental health challenges and life transitions. It is truly a gift to be a part of enriching the lives of women, girls, and those that are touched by them. To me, there is nothing more exciting than watching someone evolve into the best version of themselves!

Therapy is a unique and special type of relationship. Being vulnerable with another person requires bravery, and I deeply value the trust that we develop over time through our work. You are taking a courageous step forward in your healing process to make your first appointment!

It can be difficult to seek help and acknowledge when we are struggling, but the process can be so much easier with the help of an unbiased therapist. We might be a good fit if you are experiencing anxiety, uncertainty, and desire some compassionate support. I also enjoy working with couples to address negative communication patterns, and to restore trust. I approach the therapeutic relationship as a team effort. Together, we will address your challenges and come up with workable solutions for your daily struggles.

I have over 10 years of experience in the mental health field in a variety of settings (private practice, community mental health, university counseling center, state hospital, and in-home services). My services include individual, family, and couples/marital therapy. I primarily work with adults and couples. I believe that disturbances of thought, feeling, and behavior are caused by ‘obstacles’ to healthy brain functioning. My role as a therapist is to remove the obstacles that stand in the way of you having 100% of your intellect, wisdom, passion, humor, curiosity, energy, logic, creativity, and joyfulness available to you!

Do you feel as though life is passing you by? As though you’re not in the driver’s seat of your own life? Oftentimes we go into autopilot mode because it’s familiar and feels comfortable. This autopilot mode can serve us, but when we’re constantly reacting to life automatically rather than responding mindfully, it can start to create issues for us. Therapy can be an effective way to break out of habitual patterns of thinking, feeling, and behaving that are causing us problems. I create a nonjudgmental space where you can pause to explore how to live life more intentionally and wholeheartedly.

I am passionate about the heart and deeply committed to seeing you live more fully by engaging yours. Because your needs are as unique and valuable as your story, my therapy is grounded in Person-Centered Theory. I trust you to be the expert on your own life, and thus the expert in the room. My approach to therapy is integrative and trauma-informed. While drawing from Somatic and Attachment Focused EMDR and Play and Expressive Arts Therapy, my focus remains on the most powerful tool, the relationship. From my own healing journey, I have come to believe we're wounded in the context of relationship, and we heal in relationship, too.
