Who can benefit from individual therapy?

Individual therapy is beneficial for anyone who would like to live a healthier life.

My approach to individual therapy

I take a collaborative approach when working with individuals. I believe that therapy is a joint process between the therapist and client. At times, it may be necessary for the therapist to challenge clients in order to facilitate change, growth, and learning. I ensure that I am walking alongside clients in their journey, while also helping navigate a process of change and fulfillment.

My experience with individual therapy

I graduated from the University of Nevada, Las Vegas with my Masters Degree in Marriage and Family Therapy. Following my graduation, I relocated to Nashville where I continued to treat individuals in a private practice setting. I completed training in Brainspotting phase 1 which is a modality used for trauma, RO-DBT which is a modality used for “over-controlled” individuals, and DBT which is a modality used for “under-controlled” individuals. I continue to attend trainings, workshops, and read developing research in the field in order to provide quality therapy services.

How to get started

Finding a therapist can feel overwhelming. I try my best to make the process as easy as possible. The process begins once you submit an inquiry from. I will be in touch within one business day, and we can begin scheduling a free 15 minute phone consultation. During this phone call I will learn more about you, and your specific needs in therapy. This is also a time for you to ask any questions that you may have for me, or about therapy in general. If we feel that we are a good fit for one another, we will discuss scheduling our first session.
