Therapists for college students near Nashville, TN
I specialize in working with individuals who suffer from anxiety, OCD, and body focused repetitive behaviors (skin-picking, hair-pulling). Additionally, I work with individuals experiencing depression, stress, perfectionism, and those wishing to improve their ability to set boundaries in interpersonal relationships. I primarily utilize cognitive behavior therapy (CBT), which is an active approach to therapy that aims to teach you skills to work toward your therapy goals. When appropriate, I incorporate exposure with response prevention (ERP) to assist individuals in gradually challenging themselves to overcome fears.

I help people who dream about achieving a balance in life, who seek to be their true authentic selves but hold themselves back because of fear, uncertainty or trauma they've experienced. If you are living with this dream, but are currently experiencing depression, anxiety, imposter syndrome or feel as if you lack the ability to cope- I would love to work with you. It is my pleasure to serve individuals of different ethnic backgrounds that may speak English or Spanish. My approach is trauma informed and person-centered. I will support you by building a strong therapeutic relationship and working collaboratively on your goals, so that you may feel empowered to face your personal challenges. I believe that people are their own experts and as a therapist I am there to provide a safe, judgement-free space and assist in the process by incorporating evidence-based techniques and interventions. That's why I hope you give yourself the opportunity to experience therapy and all it has to offer.
You’re capable, intelligent, and driven — but lately anxiety, pressure, or self-doubt may feel overwhelming. Maybe you’ve always been the “high-achiever,” yet no matter how much you accomplish, it never quite feels like enough. Between academics, relationships, family expectations, and planning your future, it’s exhausting to carry so much on your own. What if you could pursue your goals without constant worry, comparison, or burnout? I specialize in working with college women navigating anxiety, perfectionism, trauma, and major life transitions. College can bring independence and opportunity — but also imposter syndrome, relationship stress, identity shifts, and unresolved experiences from the past. My approach is warm, collaborative, and grounded in evidence-based care. Together, we’ll quiet your inner critic, reduce emotional overwhelm, and build resilience that actually lasts beyond graduation. As a Licensed Professional Counselor trained in CBT, DBT, and EMDR, I provide practical tools and trauma-informed support to help you understand your patterns, regulate emotions, and heal from what’s still impacting you. Whether you’re adjusting to campus life, navigating friendships and dating, recovering from painful experiences, or feeling stuck in anxiety loops, we’ll work at a pace that feels safe and empowering. You don’t have to hold it all together alone. Therapy can be a space to breathe, reset, and reconnect with who you are — outside of grades, expectations, and pressure. Change is possible, and you deserve to feel calm, confident, and grounded in this season of life.
I look forward to working with those who are committed to making a positive change in their life and willing to do the work necessary to make said change.

When we are changing and growing, we can often feel anxious, overwhelmed, disoriented or uncertain. It is possible to move through the discomfort and regain our sense of empowerment. Experiences in our past can show up in our present relationships, mood, behavior and worldview. Counseling may include a combination of experiential, EMDR, mindfulness, and solution-focused therapy. We'll build off your strengths and explore what will be most helpful for you. Weekend and evening appointments available. My beliefs include: There is no such thing as unusual behavior if you know someone's whole story • We don’t exist in a vacuum • Science is real • Black lives matter • Women’s rights and LGBTQ+ rights are human rights • The struggle is real but we don't have to go through it alone • Kindness and social justice are worth fighting for.

Welcome to New Story Therapy! My hope is to provide you with a safe, supportive space to navigate your relationship with yourself and with others. I currently work primarily with adults who are seeking healing from trauma, anxiety, and depression that may stem from family of origin issues, physical, sexual, & emotional abuse, relationship conflict, and other difficult life experiences. Many of my clients are entrepreneurs, creatives, students, Asian Americans & people of color, and people within the helping profession.

Right now you may be overwhelmed by spiraling thoughts and debilitating fear -- struggling to process your emotions. People see you as smart and successful, but inside you feel like you're barely hanging on. You’d like to understand yourself more and learn skills that help you feel stronger and healthier. This is the work that I do. I specialize in helping smart, caring women who struggle with anxiety learn to find more balance. Clients who’ve worked with me have reported that they understand themselves better, struggle less, and feel more at ease overall. They've learned to treat themselves with more kindness than criticism, and to shift from self-destructive to life-giving behaviors. They’ve learned to handle their emotions more effectively (especially fear, anger, and sadness), to listen to their own voice (how they feel, what they like, what they want), and to feel more like themselves. People who've worked with me in counseling have described me as gentle, down-to-earth, funny, and flexible. I am thoughtful and love to read, and to bring to my work a lot of skills and stories from varied sources. I’m also artsy and creative, and love to adapt metaphors and strategies that apply uniquely and directly to clients’ lives. As a therapist, I’m not so much interested in “fixing problems” as in coming alongside you to listen and to share honestly what stands out and what might help. I welcome people with diverse backgrounds and identities. I believe in growth and development across the lifespan and that we are *always* in the process of becoming. With nearly two decades of experience and extensive training as a therapist, I am passionate about highlighting women’s voices and stories and feelings. What I love about my work as a therapist is finding ways to help women be exactly who they already are, which I believe, paradoxically, is the path toward healing and change.

Substance abuse and addiction affect millions of people. Whether you are struggling with alcohol or drugs, there is a way to overcome those struggles and lead a happy and productive life. Addiction is a subtle foe, and will make people believe they can handle their problems by themselves. The truth is, most people cannot. I believe in meeting clients where they are, and tailoring treatment to the individual. Everyone has a different story and a different life situation, but the way addiction makes people feel about themselves is Universal. I have over 25 years of experience working with people trying to recover. I offer individual and family substance abuse and addiction counseling, and recovery coaching. It would be my privilege to be able to help you.
