Individual Therapy

Online Counseling based in Nashville, Tennessee

I know what it’s like to do the messy work of healing.

I fully understand how uncomfortable and scary it can be,

and I honor the courage I see in you.

I can help with:

Complex PTSD

I help you untangle the impact of childhood or adult sexual, physical, or emotional abuse; surviving domestic violence; religious or spiritual abuse; having a partner or caregiver with narcissistic tendencies; and growing up with a parent or caregiver who was unpredictable and/or unable to meet your physical or emotional needs.
High Control Religion/Cults

Religion can have such a deep impact on us-societally, culturally, relationally, and personally. I understand the complex and painful process of questioning your worldview, and how leaving a high control religion or cult can impact your relationships, sense of spirituality, and connection to yourself and your community.
Ethical Non-Monogamy

I take an attachment-focused perspective on building and nurturing multiple relationships. I help you identify core woundings and cycles of disconnection during conflict with your partner(s), and focus on helping you create safety and connection- both within yourself, and in each of your unique relationships.
Sexuality after Purity Culture

I create a safe, welcoming space to talk about sexuality (gender identity and expression, sexual orientation, etc.), kink exploration, and sexual health. I have significant experience with helping people heal from sexual trauma, and love helping people regain a sense of autonomy and safety within their sexual relationships.
LGBTQIA+

I know how challenging it can be to find a therapist who gets you, especially in the South. While I identify as cishetero, I personally know and love many LGBTQIA+ people, and I’ve worked with LGBTQIA+ folks for the last eight years. I believe in the inherent right we all have as humans to safely embrace our full identity and love who we love. You are seen and celebrated here!

MY APPROACH

Gentle, intuitive, with a healthy dash of dark humor.

I won’t just listen to you ramble and then say, “How does that make you feel?”…although I will ask you about your feelings a lot! Sometimes I quote Taylor Swift lyrics and random poems, sometimes there’s a meme or TikTok that *has* to be addressed. I love back-and-forth dialogue and have a knack for asking just the right thing at just the right time (my clients frequently say “Woah- that’s a great question!”).

My clients love working with me because I’m easygoing, collaborative, and interactive, and I make therapy feel safe, warm, and fun. I am deeply intuitive and love helping you “connect the dots” and untangle the complicated bundle of beliefs, experiences, and emotions that come from living through trauma. I’m able to bring my own lived experience to the table in a safe and boundaried way, and I draw on that to support you through your journey. I work from a systemic, intersectional, anti-oppressive lens, and I’m not afraid to tackle things like racism, sexism, ableism, fatphobia, etc. in session.

In some sessions, we might focus on building coping skills and finding better ways to communicate. Some days we will talk a lot about emotion expression and nervous system regulation. Sometimes we will explore past experiences that have impacted your life, and other times it’s all about supporting you through an immediate crisis. Some days we will ask questions; some days we will find answers.

Above all else, I’m going to empower you to take charge of your own healing. I have so much hope for you, and I wholeheartedly believe that you are capable of overcoming whatever life is throwing at you.

Session Fees

$200/session

(~50 minutes)

I accept all major credit, debit, and HSA/FSA cards through IvyPay, a HIPAA compliant version of PayPal.

I am not in network with any insurance providers and do not accept insurance.

I encourage you to check with your insurance company to see whether they provide any reimbursement for out-of-network expenses. I’m happy to provide you with a monthly superbill (itemized receipt of services) for you to submit to your insurance.

Sliding Scale

I dedicate a percentage of my caseload to sliding scale spots at a fee of $100, $125, or $150. I also keep one spot for pro-bono (free) therapy. If you’d like to apply for sliding scale, please indicate this in your consult form and I will add you to the waitlist. I revisit the waitlist every 3 months and/or when a sliding scale/pro-bono spot opens up.

Pro-bono and sliding scale spots are currently full through December 2024.
