Therapy in Nashville, Tennessee

I have practiced for more than thirty years, offering psychodynamic psychotherapy, psychoanalysis, and couples therapy to adults across the lifespan. My approach assumes that present struggles often connect to longer stories — about worth, loyalty, loss, and how you learned to protect yourself early on.

Psychodynamic work does not rush you toward a label or a five-step plan. Instead, it creates room to notice what you feel, what you avoid, and what repeats when pressure rises. Many Nashville clients appreciate that pace — especially when life already demands constant performance.

For couples, therapy focuses on the patterns each partner brings into the relationship: distance, conflict, trust, and the emotional histories that shape how you argue or withdraw. The goal is understanding, not winning — so both people can see what the relationship is carrying.

I maintain one Nashville office for all in-person sessions. The setting on Stokes Lane is private, calm, and intentionally non-clinical — a space where reflection is possible without the feeling of being evaluated. Parking and access are straightforward for clients driving from across the city and nearby communities.

In-person therapy at the Nashville office is often the right fit when you want separation from daily routines — a dedicated hour away from email, family noise, or the neighborhood where everyone knows your name. The office is conveniently located for residents throughout Davidson County and the surrounding metro.

Secure online sessions remain available throughout Tennessee for clients who travel frequently, have limited mobility, or simply prefer meeting from home. Online therapy follows the same professional standards as in-person work; format and arrangements are discussed and agreed in advance before beginning.

If you are searching for a therapist in Nashville — whether for anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, childhood experiences, or addiction recovery — an initial conversation can help clarify fit, format, and what you hope therapy might offer.
