Therapy for Women in Tennessee
Self-care is not selfish.
What to expect:
Sessions with my typically start with quick check-in, a conversation about what would be helpful for you today (unless there is something else we are working on together), and then we get to it.
Modalities and Framework:
I tend towards an attachment focused approach with my clients. We also look into what systems you are operating within that are impacting you and your daily life. I also come from a social justice and feminist perspective in our work together. I use person centered, parts work, values, and EMDR modalities.
Specialties
-
I help people untangle the patterns that keep showing up in their relationships: the people-pleasing, the anxious attachment spiral, the hyper-independence that looks like strength but feels like exhaustion. We'll get curious about where those patterns came from and build the skills to actually feel safe, seen, and secure.
-
This is matrescence, the psychological birth of a mother, and it's every bit as real and disorienting as the physical one. I work with women through pregnancy and the fourth trimester and beyond, helping you process the birth story you actually had, navigate the relationship shifts that come with a new baby, untangle the "good mother" pressure from what you actually need, and find your footing in a body and identity that feel unfamiliar.
Infertility, miscarriage, and pregnancy or infant loss carry a particular kind of grief. I hold space for all of it. The grief, the anger, the guilt that doesn't belong to you, the complicated feelings about trying again (or not) without rushing you toward anything you're not ready for.
-
I specialize in coercive control, intimate partner violence, and the aftermath. Whether you're still in it, just getting out, or years past it. We'll work at your pace to rebuild the parts of you that got quiet: your voice, your boundaries, your trust in yourself.
-
I use EMDR alongside talk therapy to help you process what happened without having to relive it. The goal isn't to forget, it's to get to a place where your past informs you without running you. Where a memory is just a memory.
