Gottman Referral Network

About

I am a couples therapist in East Nashville that works alongside couples and individuals to help understand how to connect to yourself, and how to reconnect or build better connections in your relationships.

I work with those that want to explore healthier ways of relating and living especially those that have struggled with that in the past.

Maybe your partner has reached their limit and is asking for therapy. Maybe you feel lonely in your relationship, disconnected from the people you care about, burned out at work, or caught repeating the same painful patterns. Whether you’re struggling in your relationships or feeling disconnected from yourself, you don’t have to face it alone.

Trained in Gottman Method Level 2 and integrating Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), I work with couples who want to move from criticism, defensiveness, contempt, and disconnection toward repair, appreciation, and emotional closeness.

I have a special interest in working with ADHD, autistic, and neurodiverse individuals and couples. I also have a special interest and background in working with musicians, IT professionals, those going through infertility, cancer treatment, stress of caretaking, and men’s issues both related and not related to the above circumstances, and couples or individuals dealing with dynamics related to these diagnosis or life circumstances.

Rather than taking sides or assigning blame, I help people understand themselves and one another with curiosity and compassion. I am strength-focused and look to see how to build on what works for people rather than simply find what is wrong with people and try to correct and criticize them.

Together we’ll create a space where your whole story is understood with respect, curiosity, and compassion, and where new ways of relating can grow.

I offer a 15 minute phone consult to see if we would be a good fit or to see if there are better referrals or resources. I hope to help you find the help you need.
