Individual Therapy
Come back to yourself.
We often get stuck in patterns and negative ideas about who we are supposed to be or not be. What if it was more about coming back to yourself and the inherent value and worth you possess? Whether you are seeking therapy for a specific concern or are just feeling disconnected from yourself, it is my belief that every one of us can benefit from therapy. My hope is to guide you in the process – not to push or pull, but to walk beside you.
My passion is to help you understand yourself as a whole being: mind, heart, body, needs, emotions, and relational patterns. This will free you to live more fully and openly in relationship – first with yourself, and then with others.

Specialties
Trauma
We all make sense in the context of our story. The ways you learned to survive, protect yourself, and navigate the world weren’t random — they were adaptations to what you experienced. Sometimes we need a witness to hear, attune, and make sense of those experiences with us.
Trauma-informed therapy creates space to explore not just what happened to you, but how it lives in you now — in your nervous system, your relationships, your sense of self, and the patterns that keep showing up no matter how hard you try to change them. This includes childhood trauma, family of origin wounds, relational trauma, and experiences that may not look like “capital T” trauma but have shaped you just as profoundly.
Healing isn’t about erasing your story. It’s about understanding it well enough that it no longer runs the show.
Relationships
Connection is one of our most fundamental human needs — and yet navigating relationships can be some of the hardest work we do. The patterns we learned early about love, safety, and connection follow us into every relationship we have as adults, often without us realizing it.
Whether you’re struggling with a romantic partner, a parent, a sibling, a friend, or a coworker, therapy can help you understand what’s actually happening beneath the surface of the conflict. We’ll explore your relational patterns, your attachment style, your boundaries, and what you genuinely need — so you can show up in your relationships with more clarity, less reactivity, and a deeper capacity for real connection.
Men’s Therapy
Many men arrive at therapy having spent years being told — directly or indirectly — that they should be able to handle things on their own. That asking for help is weakness. That feelings are something to manage, not explore. The result is often a quiet disconnection from themselves and the people they love most.
I work with men who are ready to go beneath the surface. Together we’ll explore what you’re actually carrying — the grief, the pressure, the relational patterns, the parts of yourself you’ve had to shut down to get by. This isn’t about fixing you. It’s about helping you come back to yourself in a way that makes your relationships, your work, and your inner life feel more alive and more real.
Men’s therapy at my Nashville practice addresses issues including relationship struggles, emotional disconnection, midlife transitions, grief and loss, trauma, and the weight of trying to hold everything together alone. You deserve support too — and this is a space where you can finally have it.
Midlife
Midlife has a way of asking questions you didn’t know were coming. Who am I now that my kids don’t need me the same way? Is this really the life I wanted? Why does my body feel like a stranger? What do I actually want — and am I allowed to want it?
These questions aren’t a crisis. They’re an invitation. And they deserve more than being pushed aside or medicated into silence.
I feel deeply drawn to working with women and men in midlife who are ready to stop performing and start living more honestly. Whether you’re navigating empty nest, aging, changing relationships, shifts in identity or sexuality, caring for aging parents, or simply a quiet but persistent sense that something needs to change — this is meaningful, transformative work. Midlife isn’t the beginning of the end. It can be the beginning of the most authentic chapter of your life.
Women’s Therapy
So much of what brings women to therapy is the quiet exhaustion of having spent years being everything to everyone while slowly losing track of themselves. The performing, the shrinking, the caregiving, the people-pleasing — it adds up. And at some point the version of yourself you’ve been presenting to the world starts to feel like a costume you can’t take off.
I work with women who are ready to stop asking permission to take up space. Drawing from my own lived experience, I bring a deep understanding of what it means to lose yourself and find your way back — to your own voice, your own needs, your own worth. Whether you’re navigating relationship patterns, identity shifts, body image, sexuality, boundaries, or simply a longing for something more, this is a space where all of you is welcome.
You are not too much. You are not too needy. You are allowed to want more — and to actually have it.
Grief and Loss
Grief is one of the most universal human experiences and one of the most lonely. We live in a culture that is deeply uncomfortable with grief — one that wants you to move on quickly, stay strong, and get back to normal. But grief doesn’t work on anyone else’s timeline, and pushing it down doesn’t make it disappear. It just finds other ways out.
We often associate grief with death, but loss takes so many forms — the end of a relationship, a friendship that faded, a version of your life you had to let go of, a dream that didn’t happen, a job, a home, your health, your faith, your sense of safety, your identity. Any of these losses deserve to be grieved fully and without apology.
When we don’t process grief our bodies hold onto it. It shows up as anxiety, numbness, anger, disconnection, or a persistent sense that something is missing. Therapy creates a space to actually feel what you’ve been carrying — and to find your way through it rather than around it.
Adverse Religious Experiences
Religion and faith can be a profound source of meaning, community, and belonging. They can also be a source of deep wounds — sometimes obvious, sometimes so subtle you spent years not having the language for what happened to you.
Adverse religious experiences include coercive control, shame-based teaching, spiritual abuse, manipulation, and the kind of environment where your worth was conditional on your compliance. But they also include experiences that were well-intentioned and still harmful — churches or communities that left you feeling broken, unworthy, or afraid of your own humanity.
For many people, leaving a faith community or shifting in belief creates its own grief — the loss of identity, community, certainty, and a framework that once held everything together. Whether you’re in the middle of deconstruction, rebuilding something new, or simply trying to make sense of what happened to you, this work matters. You are allowed to question. You are allowed to grieve. And you are allowed to find your way to something that actually feels true.
Is Individual Therapy Right For You?
I offer individual therapy in Nashville at my Music Row office and via telehealth for adults throughout Tennessee and South Carolina. Whether you’re working through something specific or simply feeling stuck, disconnected, or like you’ve lost yourself somewhere along the way, therapy can help you find your footing again.
I work with adults navigating a wide range of concerns — trauma and its long-term effects, grief and loss, relationship patterns, religious abuse and deconstruction, and the identity shifts that often arrive in midlife. My approach is relational, trauma-informed, and collaborative, rooted in the belief that understanding yourself more fully — your history, your nervous system, your patterns — is what creates lasting change.
Individual therapy may be a fit if:
• You’re carrying something heavy and need a safe place to process it
• You recognize patterns in your relationships that keep repeating
• You’re in a season of transition and struggling to find your footing
• You’ve experienced religious trauma or are navigating a faith shift
• You’re a woman or man in midlife asking deeper questions about who you are and what you want
• You want to understand yourself better — not just cope better
Sessions are 50 minutes and available weekly or biweekly. Telehealth sessions are available throughout Tennessee and South Carolina, making it easy to fit therapy into a busy schedule. A free 15-minute consultation is available to see if we’re a good fit.
