Hi, I’m Anna. I believe mental health is one of the most universal—and most human—experiences we share. Everyone deserves the opportunity to feel grounded, confident, and at peace. My passion for this work comes from seeing how transformative therapy can be when people are given the space and support to truly understand themselves.
With over five years of experience in the treatment field, including three years as a Clinical Director, I specialize in substance use, acute mental health, and life transitions. I work with adults navigating stress, uncertainty, and major turning points, helping them gain insight and move toward stability and self-awareness.
Before becoming a therapist, I worked in the business world, which taught me the value of clear communication, structure, and solution-oriented thinking. I bring those same principles into therapy—blending empathy with practicality to help you take achievable steps toward a life that feels more stable and fulfilling.
I bring a comprehensive background in healthcare and social services, with experience spanning a wide range of specialties and care settings. My work has included oncology, dementia care and caregiver support, geriatric evaluation, and primary care coordination. I have also provided services in adult day programs, nursing homes, home health, emergency rooms, and programs supporting individuals experiencing homelessness or serious mental illness.
In addition, I have supported clients dealing with depression, anxiety, sleep issues, substance use, and grief, always with a focus on person-centered, compassionate care. My experience extends to the Program of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly (PACE), where I’ve helped older adults maintain their independence and quality of life. I also have strong supervisory experience and a commitment to promoting collaborative, holistic approaches to well-being.
I am a LCSW with over 20 years of experience who works with clients as a partner in their healing journey. I have a PhD in Public Affairs with a social work emphasis, and teach issues of ethics, working with complex cases and use of technology. My background is diverse including working in community mental health, hospice and end of life care, oncology and medical issues, as well as working with gender and sexual minorities.
In this space, you get to decide. I will walk through this stage of change with you. I have worked in community mental health, residential treatment, and intensive outpatient settings. I graduated from Lipscomb University with a degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling, specializing in Addictions Counseling.
I believe in helping clients feel better and offer hope immediately.

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.
