I would guess most college students have wondered this at some point. If you find question why no one told you it'd be this hard, you aren't alone. Starting a new year can bring up a lot of old unresolved stuff while throwing new challenges our way. It sucks. Whether it's adjusting to life outside of your childhood community, navigating high-demand coursework, processing trauma from before or during your time on campus, or exploring new parts of yourself, it's a lot to work through on your own. College can range from challenging to traumatic, and no matter where you are on that spectrum, you deserve some support. I'm a secular therapist for trauma, anxiety, depression, and religious deconstruction. I work with clients to build self-trust using somatics, talk-therapy, EMDR, parts-work, and solution-focused therapy. Let's get you feeling better and give you the tools you need to navigate this season and beyond without losing who you are and what you want.
You’re capable, intelligent, and driven — but lately anxiety, pressure, or self-doubt may feel overwhelming. Maybe you’ve always been the “high-achiever,” yet no matter how much you accomplish, it never quite feels like enough. Between academics, relationships, family expectations, and planning your future, it’s exhausting to carry so much on your own. What if you could pursue your goals without constant worry, comparison, or burnout? I specialize in working with college women navigating anxiety, perfectionism, trauma, and major life transitions. College can bring independence and opportunity — but also imposter syndrome, relationship stress, identity shifts, and unresolved experiences from the past. My approach is warm, collaborative, and grounded in evidence-based care. Together, we’ll quiet your inner critic, reduce emotional overwhelm, and build resilience that actually lasts beyond graduation. As a Licensed Professional Counselor trained in CBT, DBT, and EMDR, I provide practical tools and trauma-informed support to help you understand your patterns, regulate emotions, and heal from what’s still impacting you. Whether you’re adjusting to campus life, navigating friendships and dating, recovering from painful experiences, or feeling stuck in anxiety loops, we’ll work at a pace that feels safe and empowering. You don’t have to hold it all together alone. Therapy can be a space to breathe, reset, and reconnect with who you are — outside of grades, expectations, and pressure. Change is possible, and you deserve to feel calm, confident, and grounded in this season of life.
If you are a college student navigating anxiety and OCD, it can feel overwhelming, isolating, and sometimes even hopeless—but you don’t have to do it alone. I specialize working with students and adults who are tired of being stuck in cycles of worry, intrusive thoughts, and compulsive behaviors. These include: OCD, Generalized Anxiety, Panic attacks, Specific phobias, Health or Social anxiety, Relationships, Fear of driving or flying, Agoraphobia, Body dysmorphic disorder, Body-focused repetitive behaviors like skin picking and hair pulling. Together, we’ll get clear on your goals for therapy, gain a deeper understanding of your symptoms, and build skills to transform your relationship with anxiety.

Welcome to New Story Therapy! My hope is to provide you with a safe, supportive space to navigate your relationship with yourself and with others. I currently work primarily with adults who are seeking healing from trauma, anxiety, and depression that may stem from family of origin issues, physical, sexual, & emotional abuse, relationship conflict, and other difficult life experiences. Many of my clients are entrepreneurs, creatives, students, Asian Americans & people of color, and people within the helping profession. You have taken the first step of courage in being here, and it is my honor to connect with you. Diversity is embraced in my office and clients are welcome and affirmed irrespective of age, disability, ethnicity, sexual orientation, gender identity, religious affiliation, or immigration status.
Right now you may be overwhelmed by spiraling thoughts and debilitating fear -- struggling to process your emotions. People see you as smart and successful, but inside you feel like you're barely hanging on. You’d like to understand yourself more and learn skills that help you feel stronger and healthier. This is the work that I do. I specialize in helping smart, caring women who struggle with anxiety learn to find more balance. Clients who’ve worked with me have reported that they understand themselves better, struggle less, and feel more at ease overall. They've learned to treat themselves with more kindness than criticism, and to shift from self-destructive to life-giving behaviors. They’ve learned to handle their emotions more effectively (especially fear, anger, and sadness), to listen to their own voice (how they feel, what they like, what they want), and to feel more like themselves. People who've worked with me in counseling have described me as gentle, down-to-earth, funny, and flexible. I am thoughtful and love to read, and to bring to my work a lot of skills and stories from varied sources. I’m also artsy and creative, and love to adapt metaphors and strategies that apply uniquely and directly to clients’ lives. As a therapist, I’m not so much interested in “fixing problems” as in coming alongside you to listen and to share honestly what stands out and what might help. I welcome people with diverse backgrounds and identities. I believe in growth and development across the lifespan and that we are *always* in the process of becoming. With nearly two decades of experience and extensive training as a therapist, I am passionate about highlighting women’s voices and stories and feelings. What I love about my work as a therapist is finding ways to help women be exactly who they already are, which I believe, paradoxically, is the path toward healing and change.
If you've experienced abuse, assault, or trauma, you know the impact can feel overwhelming, affecting your sense of self, emotional wellbeing, and the relationships in your life. I specialize in supporting individuals healing from sexual, physical, emotional, or spiritual abuse and trauma, helping you rediscover freedom and connection. I also enjoy working with individuals exploring their gender or sexual identity and the LGBTQIA2S+ community, offering a compassionate, nonjudgmental space to process and find joy. With nearly a decade of experience, I'm here to affirm that healing is possible. I use EMDR, Somatic Experiencing, Internal Family Systems (IFS), and more to support healing from sexual assault/abuse, emotional/physical/spiritual abuse, trauma/PTSD, and relationship challenges. I provide a warm, affirming space for LGBTQIA2S+ folks and those exploring gender or sexual identity. I also offer EMDR Intensives for focused healing. Above all, I believe the therapist-client relationship is the foundation of effective therapy. Together, we'll foster a collaborative dynamic as we work to find an approach that feels right for you. I invite you to schedule a free 15-minute consultation via my profile or my website. I look forward to connecting with you!

I specialize in adult and teen clients navigating traumatic life experiences, transitions, and integrations. When working with clients, I focus on the nervous system and somatic perspectives to gain a deeper understanding as to why clients may be experiencing certain symptoms. I believe that we all have complex and unique stories that require a similar treatment plan – honoring a person within their environment. I focus on supporting and empowering clients to figure out who they are, what they want, and providing the tools and resources to get them there. I work through a somatic, attachment-focused and trauma-informed lens. I believe that trauma is an in-body experience that requires an in-body approach, while also providing space to talk through and process emotions. I offer clients the freedom to process their journey in ways that feel most beneficial for them, while utilizing evidence-based practices. I create a safe, authentic, and accepting space where clients can feel both valued and seen as their true selves. I show up to session as a real person that communicates with my clients in a genuine, nonjudgemental way. If you are looking for a therapist who will take the time to know you, believe you, and support you through it all, send me a message.
We are a mental health private practice near several universities in the Nashville area. We focus on assessment services to aid in diagnostic clarification and also provide therapy services to address common barriers to success such as ADHD, anxiety, depression, disruptive behaviors, and stress from life changes.
I am currently accepting new clients for in person and virtual sessions. I believe that each of us has the tools to overcome our personal barriers, we just need support and guidance in accessing those tools and making the necessary changes for success! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with nearly 10 years of experience supporting adolescents and young adults in a clinical setting. I hope to utilize my experience and expertise to guide clients along the path to well balanced and healthy lives!
I specialize in working with individuals who suffer from anxiety, OCD, and body focused repetitive behaviors (skin-picking, hair-pulling). Additionally, I work with individuals experiencing depression, stress, perfectionism, and those wishing to improve their ability to set boundaries in interpersonal relationships. I primarily utilize cognitive behavior therapy (CBT), which is an active approach to therapy that aims to teach you skills to work toward your therapy goals. When appropriate, I incorporate exposure with response prevention (ERP) to assist individuals in gradually challenging themselves to overcome fears.
If you are feeling suffocated under the pressure and weight of anxiety, depression, and stress, I want to assist you in regaining an interest in life and the fullness therein. I help individuals who long to feel complete and fulfilled and who seek to better understand the meaning of self as they deal with past issues that limit their ability to do so. My goal is to assist you in overcoming issues of trauma that may have left you feeling overwhelmed, stressed, unfulfilled and incomplete. My hope is to provide a pathway to healing and to a more full and complete life. My approach is direct and relatable. As there is no singular or individual method to success in therapy, we will address the issues together as a team with a united front prepared to succeed. To address trauma related issues, I use CBT, Mindfulness, EMDR, and Client -Centered Therapy. I believe the most beautiful pictures are created from broken pieces.
