About Me
Hi! I’m glad you are here!
Life can be messy, overwhelming , and unpredictable- but you don’t have to navigate it alone. I believe healing happens in a space where you feel safe, heard, and accepted exactly as you are. My goal is to create that space while helping you build the skills and confidence to move towards the life you want.
I work with children, teens, and adults, recognizing every person’s story, strengths, and challenges are unique. Instead of relying on a one-size-fits-all method, I tailor therapy to fit your individual needs rather than expecting you to fit into a single therapeutic model. Together, we’ll find the strategies and interventions that work best for you.
And whether you are healing from trauma, managing anxiety, navigating life transitions, building healthier relationships or helping your child through emotional or behavioral challenges, we will work as a team. Therapy isn’t about “fixing” you- because you aren’t broken. It’s about helping you understand yourself, build resilience, and discover the tools you need to move forward with confidence.
As a wife and mama to two young children, I understand life often requires us to wear many hats. While my personal experiences don’t define the therapeutic work we do together, they deepen my appreciation for the joys, challenges, and constant balancing act that so many individuals and families experience. I know firsthand that perfection isn’t the goal- showing up, asking for support, and finding grace in the process is where growth begins, and I will be right there alongside you.
My hope is that when you leave our sessions, you will feel heard, supported, challenged in healthy ways, and empowered to continue to grow after you walk out the door.
If you are ready to take the next step- or even if you are curious about whether we’re a good fit- I’d be honored to walk alongside you on your journey.
A Little More About Me
-
Who I Work With Most:
I work with individuals of all ages, but I especially enjoy supporting children, teens, and young adults. I often work with clients navigating trauma, anxiety, depression, relationship issues, and identity development. -
A Book I’d Recommend:
The Body Keeps the Score by Bessel van der Kolk – a foundational read for understanding trauma and its impact on the mind and body. -
Hobbies & Interests:
In my free time, I enjoy spending time outdoors with my family, discovering new coffee shops around Nashville, and cozying up with a good novel when the house is quiet (which, with two young kids, isn’t often!). -
Favorite Novel:
Where the Crawdads Sing by Delia Owens – beautifully written and deeply moving. -
Coolest Place I’ve Traveled:
I once hiked in the Blue Ridge Mountains during peak fall colors—it was one of the most peaceful and grounding trips I’ve ever taken.
