Trauma therapy in nashville, tennessee
Trauma has a way of sneaking into so many different parts of our lives, sometimes without us even noticing. Trauma can affect our bodies, our relationships, and our lens through which we see the world around us. I provide trauma therapy in Nashville, TN for people who feel lost, stuck in repetitive patterns, and disconnected from themselves and others.
My work as a trauma therapist centers first and foremost on creating a safe, grounded container that allows for you to process the pain that may have been hidden in a box inside of you until now. Whether your trauma is related to attachment wounding, pregnancy and postpartum, relationship trauma, or a single overwhelming event, we will work together to find stability, witness your pain, and begin to heal.
My therapy office is in the Berry Hill neighborhood in South Nashville. I serve adults looking for an attachment and relational trauma therapist in person in Nashville or virtually across the state of Tennessee. If you are unsure if what you’ve experienced counts as “trauma”, feel free to reach out for a free consult and we can talk through how best to support you and what you need.

Attachment theory is more than just a quick Buzzfeed quiz- understanding your unique attachment history is nuanced, complex, and vital to helping you ultimately heal within and through relationships.

Attachment is nuanced and complex- understanding our ‘style’ is a great starting point, but just knowing it doesn’t result in change. We can work together to better understand your attachment system, and how to heal if attachment trauma is present in your story.
