I am a Licensed Trauma Therapist and Consultant, providing holistic mental health services in Nashville, TN and beyond (telehealth).

I strive to create an environment in my practice that is nonjudgmental, safe and nurturing. This gives way for conversations and healing that often would not take place. I mainly work with teens, young adults and women. Areas of focus include trauma, migraines, anxiety, depression and managing life transitions. Typical issues can include self-esteem/self-identity, self-harm, personal growth, divorce/divorce adjustment and parenting concerns, among other things. Everyone has a unique story to tell. As a therapist, it is my goal to walk along side each individual to help them discover, learn and grow from that story. Not everyone fits into a "formula" for therapy. I enjoy getting to know each client and utilizing different approaches that best suit their needs. I believe that effective therapy offers a space to reflect, gather insight, learn skills to cope with the issues at hand and to feel heard. I use an integrative and individualized approach that may involve examining the past and connecting to present feelings or conflicts to previous relationships or experiences. For others, therapy consists of learning new skills to cope with stress and difficult emotions in the present. My goal is always to meet my clients where they are and to provide a safe and supportive environment for my clients to explore and grow from their experiences. I appreciate you taking the time to consider me as your therapist. If you have any questions about the therapy process or would like to make an appointment, please contact me and I will get back to you promptly. I look forward to speaking with you!

Welcome to Integrative Therapy of Nashville

I’m so glad you stopped by and I would like to tell you what therapy here is all about!

We are made up of the experiences and memories from our past that have been integrated into how we show up in our own lives and relationships today. Your mind and body are deeply connected and I’ve developed my approach to mental health wellness with these things in mind.

I recognize you are having a human experience and accept you without judgement, wherever you may be. You will always get an empathetic heart and truthful insight, mixed with a little humor when we meet. It’s always my goal that you leave feeling heard and also challenged in each session.

I often integrate several therapy methods that fit the needs of each client. I believe that we are all unique and do not fit one “formula” of therapy. These include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR – Level II), Animal Assisted Therapy (Canine) and Trauma Sensitive Yoga.

I also work with other primary care providers (P*P), nutritionists, psychiatrists and mental health therapists to integrate my services with your treatment team. Often times, a client is working on a specific issue with their provider and the additional help of EMDR or Yoga Therapy is a helpful tool in their process.

My style of therapy may be a little different from your typical therapist. As my client, I view you as the expert on your life. I do not view myself as the “know it all” in the room. I have some valuable information that my training has afforded me, but your life experiences are just as valuable to the work we will do together. We are a team in this process. I am straight forward, honest and do not sugar coat things, which my clients have come to value in our sessions. I often have clients tell me “I knew it was something I needed to bring up in session because I didn’t want to hear your honest answer about it!” I like to throw in humor when I can, as I think laughter is good for the soul. We have hot coffee or tea, take our shoes off and pull our feet up, if it’s that kind of day… And my therapy dog will most likely be curled up at your feet or snuggled on the couch next to you! I want you to have conversations you aren’t having or have been afraid to have out in the world, in the most safe environment possible.

I know what it’s like to be where you are, literally. That’s how I found my way to being a therapist and working with the population that I do. I remember being in a difficult time in my life and thinking “I can’t wait until I look back and see how far I have come.” At the time, I couldn’t see it, but I knew it would come if I believed in myself and did the work. It may be hard to believe in yourself right now…but I can believe in you until you get there. Let’s work together and get you where you want to be!

I have lived in Nashville since 2002 and consider this home. My favorite forms of self care are watching movies that hit every emotion in you, painting, art/theatre/comedy shows, being outdoors with my partner and my dog, catching a restorative yoga class, spending time with my friends and watching Auburn football. I do believe that having coffee with girlfriends is a hobby! I’d love to know what yours are! Give me a call and let’s talk!
