A person-centered, trauma-aware therapist to walk alongside you in your healing journey from developmental trauma and dissociation

Clinical Social Worker in Nashville, TN
Supervised by Megan Forshey, LCSW

About My Clients

My clients are living with experiences of developmental trauma, dissociation, anxiety, depression, complicated grief and loss, perfectionism, chronic shame, attachment struggles, and non-ordinary states like psychosis. I work with people who identify as having a dissociative system or dissociative identities, including Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID) and Other Specified Dissociative Disorder (OSDD). I work with adolescents (12+) and adults across the lifespan.

My Background and Approach

My approach to therapy is collaborative, integrative, and rooted in relational perspectives and evidence-based practices. I am trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). I also draw from other modalities including Internal Family Systems (IFS)-informed therapy, expressive arts, somatic approaches, and attachment work to support your unique path toward growth. I use an individualized phase-oriented approach to trauma therapy to first help you better understand the “why” behind difficult feelings and behaviors while learning practical strategies for managing them. When you feel ready, we may incorporate trauma processing therapies during the second phase, which is all about finding a steady pace of processing for you to allow traumatic experiences to be truly reprocessed and released rather than re-experienced in therapy, followed by a phase of resolution and reconnection.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I hold a deep belief that everyone deserves a safe, affirming space to be fully themselves. My values are rooted in social justice, community, and compassion, and I bring an anti-oppressive lens to therapy. This means I pay attention not only to your individual story, but also to the larger systems and relationships that impact your life. I see therapy as a collaborative process where we work together, honoring your voice and what feels most important to you. My hope is to create a space where you feel respected, understood, and supported as you move toward growth and healing in your own way. I offer reduced sliding scale rates based on financial need.
