Therapists in Nashville, TN

**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 help folks with anxiety and complex trauma move from avoiding their emotions towards processing them, from being highly self-critical with a harsh inner voice towards self-compassion and kind curiosity, from emotional reactivity towards emotional responsiveness. I do my best work with individuals and couples who experience repeated patterns of feeling and behavior but can’t seem to get off the merry-go-round, who feel disconnected from themselves and others, who may struggle with perfectionism and want so much to be seen and known by the people they love, but are fearful of showing up as their most genuine selves.

Update: Greetings! I'm studying to take the boards for my mental health prescriptive privileges as a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner. Narcissistic abuse is my specialty and currently the only patients I see. I have personally experienced NA and can empathize as I believe it is one of the most egregious forms of abuse. This is due to the psychological and emotional indoctrination that takes place. Also, most NA victims typically end up with at least 1 other MH comorbidity, speaking to its insidious nature. If you even think you might be experiencing NA, please reach out, I can help.

We work with clients of all ages! We have therapists who work with children, teens, young adults, and adults. Clients who want to work with the difficulties of life benefit the most with us.

Life in today's world is challenging. There are times when it can feel lonely and overwhelming. With the help of a good therapist, however, these times can become opportunities to find healthier ways of coping and a deeper understanding of who we are. Mutual respect, empathy and a sense of trust are key ingredients in this process. As those begin to deepen, one can begin to explore past relationships and hurts that may have led to ways of thinking and feeling that keep us stuck in old patterns of behavior. Understanding these patterns creates awareness and the ability to make healthier choices.

Book with me now by clicking on my website! We spend a lot of time identifying things that are 'wrong' with us, but what about the things that you are really kicking ass at? I want to help clients identify strengths and cultivate them so that when life is feeling really hard, you can easily call up your superpowers. I aim to bring authentic, trusting and supportive energy to everyone I encounter and foster that within others. I believe healing happens when we find balance and step outside of black and white thinking.

Sexual relationships find us at our most vulnerable, and it is often through sexuality that we experience some of our deepest yearnings, profound fears, compulsive behaviors, inhibitions, confusions, uncertainties, and desires.

Do you find yourself ruminating over the past and feeling embarrassed, anxious, or depressed for “not being over it"? Perhaps you learned to compartmentalize your emotions to cope. I work with my clients to hone their emotional awareness and create space to meet, understand, and process parts of their lives that have been put aside to survive.

Do you find yourself overthinking situations or just plain stuck because you are trying to get it right? Do you feel anxious because you are overthinking about life in general?

Actually, these terms are an indication that you are interested in becoming the best version of yourself and improving your quality of life.
