Addiction therapists & psychiatrists in Brentwood, TN

For more than 20 years, I’ve had the privilege of walking alongside individuals, couples, and families as they work toward healing, growth, and change. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Licensed Clinical Addiction Counselor, and Substance Abuse Professional, I bring both deep clinical knowledge and a compassionate, down-to-earth approach to therapy.

I specialize in helping clients navigate life’s most personal challenges—including relationship and intimacy concerns, life transitions, grief and loss, trauma, and mental health struggles. I also provide substance abuse treatment, DOT/SAP evaluations, and recovery support using evidence-based approaches such as CBT, DBT, Motivational Interviewing, Reality Therapy, Trauma-Focused CBT, the Duluth Model, and the Matrix Model.

I have a special commitment to serving Black communities, LGBTQIA+ individuals, people living with HIV, re-entry populations, sex workers, and youth facing challenges. I understand how personal, cultural, and systemic factors shape each person’s story, and I create a safe, affirming space where clients feel truly seen and heard.

In our sessions, you can expect a respectful, judgment-free environment where your voice matters. I believe therapy works best as a partnership—we’ll set goals together, explore what’s holding you back, and develop practical strategies you can use in daily life a more fulfilling life. Whether you’re seeking support for a specific issue or simply want to invest in your personal growth, I’m here to help you take that next step.

Wherever you are, we can start there. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 20 years of experience supporting individuals, families, and communities through a wide range of life challenges. I have worked with people from diverse backgrounds, helping them navigate difficulties, recognize their strengths, set meaningful goals, and create lasting change.

My approach is compassionate, collaborative, solution-focused, and goal-oriented. I strive to create a welcoming, nonjudgmental space where clients feel safe sharing their stories, concerns, and needs. I meet each client where they are, listen with intention, and build relationships grounded in trust, respect, empathy, and understanding.

I believe every client brings unique experiences, strengths, challenges, and goals to therapy. My role is to help clients understand what they are experiencing, identify barriers, and develop practical strategies for moving forward. I take a whole-person approach, considering the relationships, resources, life circumstances, and emotional needs that shape each person’s experience.

I am passionate about helping clients feel empowered to make positive changes. I support individuals experiencing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship or family concerns, major life transitions, or feelings of being stuck. My professional experience also includes supporting pregnant and postpartum mothers navigating depression, trauma, crises, life transitions, and the emotional and practical challenges of motherhood. This work has deepened my passion for perinatal mental health.

I believe asking for help is a sign of strength. My goal is to walk alongside each client, help them identify where they want to go, and support them as they work toward getting there.

Do you feel taken advantage of and like no matter what you do, you can't win? Are you a victim of emotional, verbal or physical abuse? Do you love someone who is caught up in the pain of addiction or mental illness? Have you tried everything you can think of but have no idea how to help or what else to do? Are you afraid your partner, spouse, adult child or other loved one will end up in jail, or worse? I get it. Maybe you're just mad. Maybe you're tired of having to handle everything yourself. I get that too.
