My approach to therapy is grounded in clear, direct, and empathetic communication. I strive to create a supportive space where clients feel heard while exploring their experience. I believe in balancing compassion with honesty, offering thoughtful insight and tactful accountability in order to make meaningful change. My overall goal is to make clients feel valued and increase self-awareness through thoughtful insight. My mission is to leave clients feeling confident and motivated in order to move forward with a better quality of life.

Therapist Experience
I have worked with diverse clientele primarily in an outpatient setting. A majority of my experience is in leadership roles within several non-profits in Nashville, TN.
Over the course of my career, I have worked in addiction medicine providing therapy to clients and supervision of a multidisciplinary team actively practicing harm reduction strategies.
Therapy Interests
My areas of interest include: life transitions, spirituality issues, anxiety, depression, addiction, perfectionism, and family conflict.
While I treat each case uniquely and apply evidence-based standards of care, my approach primarily consists of interventions drawn from Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, strengths based therapies, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy.
