Prenatal and postpartum therapists & psychiatrists in Murfreesboro, TN

I believe therapy works best when you don’t have to carry everything by yourself. We all carry things with us—our histories, relationships, expectations, losses, responsibilities, and the stories we’ve learned to tell about ourselves. Sometimes the things we’ve learned to carry help us move through life; other times, they become heavier than we realized. Therapy can be a place to slow down, understand what you’re carrying, and decide what you want to keep, what you might be ready to set down, and what you may need help carrying.

You don’t need to come to therapy with everything figured out. We can start wherever you are and work from there. My role isn’t to tell you what you should do, but to help you understand yourself more clearly, make sense of the patterns that keep showing up, and find a way forward that feels genuinely like your own.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I have more than ten years experience providing services to individuals age 4 to 60+, with my primary practice focus working with children and adolescents, young adults, and parents/caregivers. I am a Certified Parent Peer Support Specialist in addition to my clinical licensure. I have experience working with a variety of diagnoses, including depression, anxiety, PTSD, Autism, ADHD, etc. I have also worked with individuals with mild to moderate cognitive disabilities in addition to their mental health diagnoses.

Growing up and transitioning into adulthood, I always felt that I needed a "person". Someone who could be there to support me through the hardships and uncertainties of life. Someone who was unbiased and was there to just listen or to be that shoulder to cry on when I felt like no one in the world would be able to understand me. Being that person that I once needed, is what fueled the desire within to become a therapist.

Reaching out for support can be one of the hardest steps, and I strive to create a space where you feel safe, heard, and accepted without judgment. My goal is to help you better understand yourself, navigate life’s challenges, and build the tools you need to create meaningful, lasting change.

I work with those experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, stress, life transitions, grief, self-esteem concerns, and relationship challenges. Whether you’re feeling overwhelmed by your past, struggling to cope with the present, or trying to build the future you want, we’ll work together at a pace that feels right for you.

Are you feeling anxious, overwhelmed, stuck, or simply not like yourself anymore? Perhaps you're constantly worrying, overthinking, avoiding situations that once felt manageable, or struggling to move beyond painful experiences. You don't have to figure it out alone.

I'm a clinical psychologist with more than 15 years of experience helping adolescents and adults navigate anxiety, panic attacks, phobias, depression, trauma, addiction, health-related concerns, and difficult life transitions. I especially enjoy helping people who feel trapped in cycles of fear, worry, avoidance, self-doubt, or unhealthy patterns affecting their relationships, confidence, and quality of life.

My approach goes beyond simply talking about your problems. I believe therapy should help you understand yourself more deeply while giving you practical tools to create lasting, meaningful change. Together, we'll identify what's keeping you stuck, work through difficult experiences, and develop strategies to help you feel more confident, capable, and in control.

My style is warm, compassionate, collaborative, and nonjudgmental. I tailor treatment to your needs using evidence-based approaches, including CBT, ACT, EMDR, exposure therapy, mindfulness, and Positive Psychology. As a health psychologist, I also recognize the important connection between emotional and physical well-being.

My experience spans private practice, psychiatric settings, substance use treatment, functional medicine, and college counseling. I earned my degrees from Northwestern University and the Illinois School of Professional Psychology and also teach graduate-level psychology courses.

You deserve to feel better, and meaningful change is possible. Whether you're hoping to overcome anxiety, heal from painful experiences, build confidence, or reconnect with yourself, my goal is to help you feel genuinely understood, supported, and empowered to move forward.
