Individual Therapy for Children, Teens, and Adults
Life's challenges look different at every age. I provide therapy for children, teens, and adults navigating anxiety, OCD, trauma, relationship concerns, life transitions, and other emotional challenges in Nashville, Tennessee and virtually across Tennessee, Georgia, and Florida.
Support for Children
(Ages 7–12)
Children often communicate their thoughts, emotions, and experiences differently than adults. As a Registered Play Therapist™, I use child-centered play therapy and developmentally appropriate interventions to help children express themselves, process difficult experiences, build coping skills, and develop confidence in a way that feels natural to them.
I also believe parents play an important role in the therapy process. Through regular check-ins, parent consultations, and practical recommendations, we work together to support your child's growth both inside and outside of the therapy room.
Common Reasons Families Seek Child Therapy
Parents often reach out when they notice their child is struggling with:
Excessive worry, anxiety, or frequent fears
Difficulty managing big emotions, frustration, or anger
Meltdowns, emotional outbursts, or behavioral challenges at home or school
Low self-esteem or lack of confidence
Friendship difficulties or challenges fitting in with peers
Family changes such as divorce, separation, relocation, or blended family transitions
Grief and loss
Difficult or stressful life experiences
Trouble adjusting to change or new situations
Obsessive thoughts, compulsive behaviors, or OCD symptoms
Support for Teens
(Ages 13-17)
The teenage years can be filled with growth, change, and increasing pressure. Between school, friendships, family expectations, extracurricular activities, social media, and planning for the future, many teens find themselves carrying more than others realize.
I strive to create a supportive, nonjudgmental space where teens feel seen, heard, and understood. Therapy gives teens an opportunity to explore their experiences openly, develop healthy coping strategies, build confidence, process identity development, and strengthen their ability to navigate life's challenges.
While parent collaboration remains an important part of the process, I also prioritize creating a space where teens can develop autonomy and feel ownership over their therapeutic journey.
Common Reasons Teens Seek Therapy
Family conflict and communication difficulties
Neurodivergence, including ADHD and autism
Identity exploration and self-discovery
Trauma and difficult life experiences
Life transitions and adjustment challenges
Stress related to social media, school, or future planning
Anxiety, excessive worry, and overthinking
OCD and intrusive thoughts
Depression, sadness, or loss of motivation
Academic stress, perfectionism, and burnout
Self-esteem and confidence concerns
Friendship challenges and peer relationships
Every teen deserves a space where they can show up authentically, feel understood, and know they don't have to carry everything on their own. Therapy can help teens build self-awareness, confidence, and resilience while navigating the challenges of adolescence. If you're wondering whether therapy might be helpful for your teen, I'd love to connect, answer any questions you may have, and explore whether we're a good fit for working together.
Support for Adults
Tennessee, Georgia, and Florida
Adulthood can be challenging. Between work, relationships, family responsibilities, and life's unexpected changes, it's easy to feel overwhelmed, stuck, or disconnected from yourself.
Therapy offers a space to better understand what's contributing to those experiences, explore patterns that may no longer be serving you, and develop tools that support the changes you want to make.
Adults often reach out for support with:
Anxiety, chronic stress, and overwhelm
OCD, intrusive thoughts, and compulsive behaviors
Depression, sadness, or feeling disconnected from themselves
Trauma and difficult life experiences
Relationship challenges and communication difficulties
Family conflict and boundary setting
Grief and loss
Low self-esteem and self-doubt
People-pleasing and perfectionism
Major life transitions, identity shifts, and personal growth
Whether you're navigating a specific challenge or simply feeling ready for something to be different, I'd love to learn more about your story, answer any questions you may have, and explore whether we're a good fit for working together.
