I discovered Emotionally Focused Therapy a few years ago, and it completely changed how I view life and relationships. EFT is based on the idea that our emotional responses are deeply connected to our need for safety and connection with others. As children, we develop emotional patterns to protect ourselves from discomfort or feeling unsafe. Over time, these patterns can become automatic, influencing how we make decisions, how we connect with others, and sometimes leading to unhealthy coping mechanisms or behaviors.

EFT helps us identify these patterns, understand where they come from, and learn how to break free from them. It's especially helpful in relationships, where it encourages us to express our emotions more openly and authentically. Rather than just focusing on the behavior, EFT gets to the heart of what’s driving our emotions and actions, helping to rebuild trust, communication, and emotional safety. Even though society may judge certain emotional responses, EFT helps normalize them, creating space for compassion and growth.

In our work together, I'll use Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) to help you safely explore and heal from past trauma. We’ll focus on the emotions that arise from those painful experiences, allowing you to process and release what’s been holding you back. Trauma often creates feelings of fear, isolation, and mistrust, but through EFT, we’ll create a compassionate space where you can gain deeper understanding and reframe those emotions. Together, we’ll build emotional awareness and strengthen your connections—both with yourself and others—so you can heal, restore trust, and break free from patterns that no longer serve you.

I also work with survivors of interpersonal and domestic violence, applying the same therapeutic approaches mentioned to help them heal and rebuild

I am trained in Emotionally Focused Therapy, Emotionally Focused Individual Therapy, and EMDR.

In combination with Private Practice, I work with individuals who have experiencing or are currently experiencing interpersonal violence and domestic violence.

As a therapist under supervision, I’m continually growing and learning in my practice, guided by the expertise of my supervisor. This relationship allows me to reflect deeply on my work, gain fresh perspectives, and ensure that I’m providing the best care possible for my clients. It’s a process of ongoing learning and support, where I can refine my skills, receive feedback, and ensure that I’m always working in a way that’s thoughtful, compassionate, and ethically sound.

I’m a therapist navigating the heart of Nashville—its bustling traffic and, of course, all the incredible people who make this city unique. I thrive on creating a space where you can feel seen, heard, and understood, whether you're navigating a difficult life transition, working through past trauma, or simply looking to build a stronger sense of self.

When I’m not in session, you’ll likely find me binge-watching my latest TV or movie obsession (ask me for recommendations!), spending time with my cat, or soaking in the energy of my community. I truly believe in the power of connection—both with others and within ourselves—and I bring that sense of connection into my work with clients.

As a therapist under supervision, I’m always growing and learning in my practice. I value curiosity, self-reflection, and the small moments—like finding that elusive pen I always seem to misplace during sessions—because they remind me that therapy is a shared, human experience. I’m here to support you on your journey toward healing, growth, and deeper emotional resilience.
