Bipolar Disorder Therapists in Nashville

Since 2002, I have had the privilege of supporting people through some of life's most challenging, confusing, and unexpected moments. I began in case management and transitioned to clinical work in 2008. Over the years, I have worked with children, adolescents, and adults in various settings, including schools, hospitals, jails, and community mental health programs. I have witnessed a great deal and, more importantly, learned a lot about people, resilience, and what it truly takes to help someone heal. I hold a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology, a Master of Arts in Counseling Psychology, and a Doctor of Psychology in Clinical Psychology. However, my real-life experiences in the field shape my work just as much as my formal education does. My approach is fundamentally humanistic and existential, meaning I believe you are the expert on your own life, and my role is to help you reconnect with that understanding. I am fully present in the room with you, curious about your inner world, and committed to meeting you exactly where you are.

I provide integrative med managment including therapy for adult population relating mental health issues. I believe in healing through collective effort from the patient and the providers side.

My professional background includes community health, rural health, pediatrics, private practice, and now independent practice; after completing the Vanderbilt PMHNP program in 2012. I am a Behaviorist at heart, learning techniques through years of equestrian competition and as a BCBA assistant for 1-on-1 behavioral therapy with nonverbal to inconsistently verbal autistic children in-home, in the schools, and at day-camps. Communication and authenticity are foundational inspirations. My life is currently blossoming with playing in the garden, socializing with treasured friends, centering in yoga, international and domestic mountain and beach travel, learning to ride a motorcycle, taking aerial arts classes, Latin dancing, and bringing found object art back into my life. Creating a lovely life for myself and my baby boy is my primary motivator.
