I am an LCSW with a Master's of Social Work degree and have been in field over 12 years.
I’m a person-centered therapist with more than ten years of experience helping people navigate grief, anxiety, depression, addiction, relationship struggles, family conflict, heartbreak, abuse, and trauma. I work with a broad range of clients and bring specialized training in EMDR and trauma-focused care to my practice.

My role is to meet you where you are, help you imagine where you want to be, and walk alongside you as you find the courage to get there.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an Addiction Therapist in Nashville
Addiction therapists in Nashville can support a range of substance and behavioral concerns, including alcohol use, drug use, gambling, compulsive behaviors, and concerns that overlap with anxiety, depression, or trauma. As you compare therapists, look for training and listed specialties that match what you want to address. Some therapists use motivational interviewing, cognitive behavioral therapy for substance use, or harm reduction frameworks. Some people also work with a prescriber as part of their care team, depending on their needs.
Nashville has many therapy options, and that volume can make the search harder to narrow. Start with practical fit: whether you prefer in-person sessions near your neighborhood or workplace, virtual appointments, evening availability, or a therapist who offers a free phone consultation. For addiction care, it can also help to read therapist bios for language about non-judgmental support, harm reduction, relapse prevention, and experience with recovery at different stages.
Therapy in Nashville can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before you book. Headway helps you find addiction therapists who are accepting new patients and match your preferences, so you can review bios, compare availability, and book directly when you’re ready. You can also enter your insurance details on Headway to confirm whether a therapist may be covered by your specific plan.
