Loving someone who struggles with addiction can quietly take over your whole life. You worry constantly, you smooth things over, you set a boundary and then talk yourself right out of it, and somewhere along the way you lose track of your own needs. If that's you, I understand it in a way that goes beyond training. Alongside my years as a counselor, I've spent more than two decades in the Al-Anon community, and I work with adults who are worn down from caring for, worrying about, or trying to fix someone they love. You don't have to keep carrying it alone.

I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC-MHSP) and National Certified Counselor with experience across outpatient, community mental health, and skilled nursing settings. I work with adults navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, and life transitions. You might feel stuck in the past, easily overwhelmed by reminders of what you’ve been through, or find it hard to feel fully present. During life transitions, even positive changes can bring uncertainty, stress, or a sense of losing your footing. I offer a calm, supportive space where you can begin to process these experiences at your own pace.

Happy patient looking away

Find the right therapist for you

Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Nashville

Finding the right therapist in Nashville starts with getting clear on what kind of support you're looking for. Whether you're seeking help with anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, or life transitions, choosing a licensed provider who specializes in your specific concerns can make a real difference. Nashville is home to a wide range of licensed therapists, counselors, psychologists, and psychiatrists — including providers trained in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), EMDR, and other approaches.

Beyond clinical fit, practical details matter too. Consider whether you prefer in-person sessions at a Nashville office or virtual appointments from home, and look for a provider whose availability works with your schedule. Reading a provider's bio before booking can help you understand their style and decide if they feel like the right match.

Therapy in Nashville can be expensive without insurance, but affordable options exist when you use your in-network benefits. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, and many patients pay as low as $0 per visit. On Headway, you can enter your insurance details to see estimated session costs before you book, so you know what to expect.
