Grounded Healing for Mind, Body, and Relationships
You understand the "why" behind your struggles, but your nervous system hasn’t caught up yet. I offer integrative psychotherapy that goes beyond talk therapy, combining Internal Family Systems (IFS), somatic processing, and outdoor ecotherapy to help you feel settled, connected, and whole.
Internal Family Systems (IFS) & Relational Parts Work
Befriending the inner voices that protect you, soften inner conflict, and heal from the inside out.
"This being human is a guest house.Every morning a new arrival."
-Rumi
We often criticize ourselves for feeling torn—one part of us longs for deep intimacy, while another part shuts down; one voice drives us to achieve, while another feels completely depleted. In standard therapy, these conflicting feelings are frequently treated as problems to eliminate.
As a Certified IFS Therapist, I view your inner world differently. Every part of you—even your inner critic, your anxiety, or your emotional numbness—developed with a positive protective intention. None of your parts are bad; they are simply carrying burdens from past experiences that no longer serve you.
In our sessions, I guide you to step out of reactive survival mode and into your Self-energy—the calm, curious, and compassionate core that already lives within you. From this grounded center, we gently listen to your protective parts, learn what they are afraid of, and unburden the underlying emotional wounds so you can experience true inner resolution.
For Couples & Partnerships: Intimacy from the Inside Out (IFIO)
When two people enter conflict, their protective systems often collide. Using Intimacy from the Inside Out (IFIO)—the specialized application of IFS for relational dyads—I help partners stop speaking from their defensive parts (blame, withdrawal, attack) and start speaking for them. This shifts repeating, exhausted arguments into profound empathy, authentic repair, and renewed connection.

Certified IFS Therapist: Certified through the Internal Family Systems Institute (IFSI).

Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP) & Psychedelic Preparation and Integration
Softening protective defenses, accessing innate inner wisdom, and creating lasting neuroplastic change.
When you are navigating long-standing trauma, treatment-resistant depression, or chronic burnout, your nervous system can become locked in rigid protective loops. You may intellectually understand what needs to shift, yet your emotional and somatic self remains guarded.
As a Certified Psychedelic-Assisted Therapist, I utilize Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP) to help clients step beyond cognitive resistance. Ketamine temporarily softens the brain's hyper-defensive patterns, opening an experiential window of emotional spaciousness, neuroplasticity, and deep receptivity. Within this safe container, we can access and heal core wounds that traditional talk therapy struggles to reach.
How We Can Work Together:
Individual Psychotherapy: Dedicated one-on-one preparation, supported medicine dosing sessions, and somatic integration to resolve trauma, dissolve chronic anxiety, and reconnect with your core Self-energy.
Intimate Relationships & Partners: When protective walls and repeating defensive cycles prevent authentic intimacy, relational KAP helps partners lower their emotional armor. Supported by Intimacy from the Inside Out (IFIO), couples can speak from vulnerability rather than reactive attack or withdrawal.
Healers KAP Cohorts (Small Groups): An intentional virtual small-group space co-facilitated for therapists, medical providers, and caregivers to tend to vicarious trauma and experience restoration in community.
Standalone Psychedelic Integration: For those who have had profound, confusing, or challenging expanded-state experiences elsewhere, I offer a grounded, nonjudgmental space to translate those insights into sustainable changes in your daily life.
How the Medical Partnership Works (Journey Clinical)
To ensure the highest standard of safety, I collaborate with Journey Clinical, a specialized medical team dedicated to psychedelic medicine:
Medical Assessment: You complete a comprehensive telehealth intake with a Journey Clinical psychiatric provider to evaluate medical eligibility and receive your personalized prescription for sublingual ketamine lozenges.
Therapeutic Container: I guide your preparation sessions, hold space with you during your in-office or virtual medicine dosing sessions, and facilitate deep psychotherapy integration.
Ongoing Medical Follow-up: Journey Clinical conducts regular medical check-ins to monitor your progress and refill prescriptions as clinically appropriate.

Hakomi Somatic Psychotherapy
Listening to the wisdom of the body to heal the beliefs that keep you guarded.
Most of us have learned to navigate life primarily from the neck up. We analyze our feelings, construct narratives about our pain, and attempt to think our way into peace. Yet our deepest emotional wounds and protective habits do not live in the analytical mind—they are organized within the nervous system, expressed through posture, shallow breathing, muscular tension, and physical holding patterns.
Hakomi is an experiential, body-centered therapy grounded in mindfulness, non-violence, and profound compassion. Originating from a Hopi question translated as "Who are you?" or "How do you stand in relation to these many realms?," Hakomi uses the present moment as a living laboratory for self-discovery.
As a somatic practitioner, I guide you to step out of intellectual storytelling and slow down into what Ron Kurtz called loving presence. Together, we gently notice your body’s subtle cues—a tight throat when speaking about family, a collapsed posture when setting a boundary, or an impulse to hold your breath. By bringing quiet awareness to these somatic signals without judgment, we reveal the unconscious core beliefs ("I am on my own," "It isn't safe to rest," "I must perform to be loved") that have quietly shaped your life.
Within this safe, unhurried space, we can introduce experiential "little experiments" that allow your nervous system to experience new possibilities: safety, support, and authentic relief.
Core Principles of Our Hakomi Work:
Mindfulness in the Present: Slowing down to track felt sensations, impulses, and spontaneous emotions as they emerge in real time.
Non-Violence & Organic Unfolding: We never force defenses to drop or push through resistance; we respect and befriend the protective armor your body created to keep you safe.
Mind-Body Wholeness: Treating physical sensations not as isolated symptoms, but as the somatic language of your emotional and relational history.
Experiential Transformation: Moving beyond insight alone to offer your body a new, felt experience of acceptance, ease, and regulation.

Brainspotting Therapy
Accessing the subcortical brain to heal trauma and emotional distress where words run out.
You can spend months or years analyzing your past in traditional talk therapy without feeling a genuine shift in your body. That isn’t because you aren’t trying hard enough—it is because the analytical, verbal brain (the neocortex) is not where trauma and chronic hypervigilance are stored. They live deeper down, within the subcortical brain and the autonomic nervous system.
Brainspotting is an experiential, neurophysiological therapy developed by Dr. David Grand. Grounded in the reality that where you look affects how you feel, Brainspotting uses your visual field to locate the exact neurological neural pathways where unprocessed experiences and body tension are held.
In our sessions, I help you gently track where your gaze naturally anchors when speaking about an emotional trigger or feeling a bodily ache. Using a focused pointer, we locate that specific "brainspot." Simultaneously, you can listen to gentle biolateral sound—soft, calming acoustic tones that alternate between your left and right ears through headphones to regulate and support your brain's processing capacity.
By holding your focus on this eye position within a compassionate, unhurried relational space, we allow your brain’s innate healing intelligence to digest and discharge stuck emotional material—without requiring you to relive painful narratives in agonizing detail.
What Brainspotting Helps Address:
The "Talk Therapy Plateau": When you intellectually understand your struggles, but your nervous system remains stuck in fight, flight, or freeze.
Trauma & PTSD: Unresolved memories, sudden triggers, somatic flashbacks, and dissociation.
Somatic Symptoms & Chronic Tension: Tightness in the chest, throat constriction, jaw clenching, and fatigue tied to stress.
Performance & Creative Expansion: Dissolving internal blocks for artists, leaders, healers, and athletes seeking focused flow.

Outdoor Ecotherapy & Somatic Grounding
Stepping outside the therapy room to let the natural world soothe, ground, and regulate your nervous system.
"To walk in nature is to witness a thousand miracles." Mary Davis
Body Copy
In our modern, screen-saturated lives, we spend thousands of hours indoors, disconnected from the living rhythms of the earth. We try to think our way out of anxiety while surrounded by artificial light and constant digital demands. Yet our bodies evolved in reciprocal relationship with the wind, soil, canopy, and open sky. When we lose touch with the natural world, our nervous system easily becomes hypervigilant, exhausted, and untethered.
Ecotherapy is an experiential, somatic approach to mental health that views nature not merely as a pleasant backdrop, but as an active co-regulator in your healing process.
Alongside sessions at my Brentwood office and virtual care, I facilitate outdoor walk-and-talk ecotherapy in local Nashville state parks, including the quiet, wooded trails of Radnor Lake. In our sessions, we let the rhythm of your steps slow down your racing mind. Rather than sitting face-to-face in chairs, we move side-by-side—allowing the earth to hold the weight of what you carry.
Through gentle sensory attunement, Internal Family Systems (IFS) parts inquiry, and mindful stillness, we help your nervous system remember what it feels like to be anchored, spacious, and at home.
What an Outdoor Session Feels Like:
Unhurried Pacing: This is not a fitness hike or a strenuous workout. We walk at an easy, conversational pace that honors your body’s comfort, pausing at sunlit clearings, benches, or quiet waters when your system needs stillness.
Thoughtful Confidentiality: We choose mindful trail sections and utilize natural distance and environmental sound buffers. If fellow walkers pass by, we naturally pause our dialogue or shift to reflective walking until privacy is restored.
Integrating Modalities Outdoors: We seamlessly weave IFS parts work, somatic Hakomi tracking, and grounding exercises with the natural metaphors around us—trees, roots, running streams, and changing seasons.
Weather & Transition Flexibility: On days with inclement weather, excessive heat, or when your energy calls for indoor shelter, we seamlessly transition our session to my comfortable Brentwood office or secure telehealth.

Ecotherapy Certification: Trained and certified through The Earthbody Institute.

Intimacy from the InsideOut©
(IFIO)
Moving beyond repeating arguments to heal the protective patterns that stand between you and deep connection.
"When out parts feel loved, our hearts open to others."
-Toni Herbine-Blank
When you love someone, repeating the same painful conflict feels heartbreaking. You may enter a conversation with every intention of staying calm, only to find yourself suddenly defensive, critical, or emotionally shut down. These reactions are not signs that your relationship is doomed; they are protective parts of your internal system rushing in to shield you from vulnerability, rejection, or past hurt.
Intimacy from the Inside Out (IFIO) is an experiential relationship modality that applies the profound wisdom of Internal Family Systems (IFS) to couples and intimate partnerships.
Traditional couples therapy often focuses on communication scripts that quickly collapse under emotional distress. In our work together, we go deeper. Rather than teaching you to recite scripted formulas, I help you understand the nervous-system triggers and protective parts driving your conflict cycles.
Together in the room, we slow down the conversation in real time. You will learn how to:
Recognize Your Relational Dance: Map how Partner A's protective reaction (e.g., anxiety, pursing, criticism) activates Partner B’s defense (e.g., silence, stonewalling, withdrawal).
Speak For Your Parts, Not From Them: Shift from reactive blame ("You don't prioritize us!") to courageous vulnerability ("A young part of me feels forgotten and scared when plans change").
Cultivate Self-Led Compassion: Restore your capacity to hold your partner's pain without abandoning your own boundaries or internal truth.
An Inclusive, Non-Judgmental Container
Relationships come in many forms, and all love systems deserve nuanced, respectful care. My practice is deeply affirming of diverse partnerships:
Monogamous Couples: Seeking renewed tenderness, repair after rupture or infidelity, or navigation through major life stages and parenting.
Consensually Non-Monogamous (CNM) & Polyamorous Dynamics: Navigating open agreements, jealousy inquiries, boundary adjustments, and multi-partner communication.
Partners Navigating Transitions: Conscious uncoupling, co-parenting restructuring, or redefining relational agreements with dignity.

Individual Therapy & Nature-Based Healing
Moving beyond talk therapy to help your body feel as settled as your mind wants to be.
You may already know the intellectual "why" behind your stress, fatigue, or relational patterns—yet your nervous system continues to hold the weight. I provide a calm, grounded, and non-judgmental container for adults navigating major life transitions, boundary shifts, and personal growth.
Healing does not have to remain confined to four walls. Alongside sessions at my Brentwood office and virtual visits across Tennessee and Missouri, I offer walk-and-talk ecotherapy in local Nashville state parks—meeting you in the environment where your nervous system feels most receptive and secure.
How We Work Together:
Internal Family Systems (IFS): Unpack inner conflict with gentle curiosity, helping your protective and wounded parts step out of survival mode and into self-led harmony.
Somatic Hakomi & Brainspotting: Bypass cognitive loops to process trauma and stress where it actually lives—in the deeper neurophysiological networks of the body.
Psychedelic Integration: Ground, interpret, and weave expanded-state experiences into tangible, lasting shifts in your everyday life.
Expressive Arts & Somatic Mindfulness: Cultivate grounded present-moment awareness and creative self-expression to access emotions that words alone cannot reach.

Intimate Relationships & Modern Partnerships
Inclusive psychotherapy for couples, polyamorous dynamics, and evolving relationships.
When repeating arguments leave you exhausted, it is easy to lose sight of the bond you built together. Whether you are actively navigating a painful rift, managing a complex transition, or proactively deepening your intimacy, I provide an affirming, non-judgmental space to help you rebuild safety and mutual goodwill.
I work openly with both monogamous partnerships and non-traditional relationship structures, including consensual non-monogamy (CNM) and polyamory. Rather than refereeing arguments, I help you understand the emotional cycles underneath your conflicts so you can communicate with clarity and vulnerability.
How We Work Together:
Intimacy from the Inside Out (IFIO): Rooted in Internal Family Systems (IFS), this approach helps you speak for your protective parts rather than from them—shifting repeating power struggles into honest, heartfelt dialogue.
Somatic & Mindful Hakomi: We slow down conversations in real-time, helping you notice how stress and defensiveness show up in your body so you can regulate before reacting.
Brainspotting & Expressive Processing: We access and resolve old attachment wounds and neurophysiological triggers that intellectual conversation alone cannot reach.
Family Systems & Life Transitions: For established partners, blended families, or parents of adult children, we clarify shifting boundaries and navigate new relational chapters with practical ease.
