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.

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 Tennessee

Finding the right therapist in Tennessee starts with getting clear on what kind of care you need. Whether you're looking for help with anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, PTSD, or something else, choosing a licensed provider who specializes in your area of concern can make a real difference. Tennessee-licensed therapists may hold credentials such as LPC-MHSP, LCSW, LMFT, or Psychologist, and psychiatrists and psychiatric nurse practitioners are also available for medication management.

With providers practicing in Nashville, Memphis, Knoxville, Chattanooga, Murfreesboro, Clarksville, and across the state, you have options for both in-person and virtual sessions. Reading a provider's bio before booking can help you understand their approach, areas of focus, and what a session with them looks like — so you can feel confident before your first appointment.

Therapy in Tennessee can be expensive out of pocket, but using your in-network insurance benefits is one of the most straightforward ways to reduce costs. 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 upfront, so you know what to expect before you book.
