Therapist

I’m a therapist who creates a safe, nonjudgmental space where you can show up as your full, authentic self. I believe healing happens when we feel seen, heard, and challenged in a supportive way. I work with individuals and couples to navigate anxiety, relationship struggles, life transitions, and emotional overwhelm.

My approach blends evidence-based practices with real, honest conversation. I will help you build practical tools, increase self-awareness, and take accountability—while also giving yourself grace. My goal is to help you not just cope, but truly grow and feel empowered in your life.

Wife. Mother. Therapist. Navigator. I value my authentic self and believe we all can trace life’s imprints to dive into the core of who we are versus what life has conditioned us to be.

Happy patient looking away

Find the right therapist for you

Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Tennessee

Searching for therapists in Tennessee starts with finding someone whose training matches what you want support with. Across the state, options vary between urban areas, smaller towns, and rural communities, so it helps to narrow your search by need first. You may want a therapist with experience in anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, trauma, or life transitions. Review each therapist’s listed specialties, therapy approach, and bio to see whether their background aligns with the kind of care you’re looking for.

Location and scheduling also shape the right fit. In Nashville, Memphis, Knoxville, and other parts of Tennessee, some people prefer in-person sessions near home or work, while others choose virtual appointments for more flexibility. As you compare therapists, look at appointment availability, whether they offer free phone consultations, and whether their communication style feels clear from their profile. Every therapist listed is accepting new patients, and reading bios before booking can help you understand what sessions may be like.

The cost of mental health care in Tennessee varies, but using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Headway helps you search therapists by insurance, review estimated out-of-pocket costs before you book, and compare therapists who match your preferences. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, and you can confirm your specific coverage when you enter your insurance details. From there, you can browse therapists, review bios, and book directly when you’re ready.

1 Cost may vary based on your location, age, and insurance coverage.
