Hi, I’m Sarah, a Licensed Therapist. Welcome to my practice.

Located in East Nashville, I serve clients in person throughout Inglewood, Madison, Donelson, and the greater Nashville area, and virtually throughout Tennessee and Ohio.

Work With Me

I help women unwind who they learned to be — and meet themselves on the other side.

You learned, early and well, how to edit yourself. Be easier. Be impressive. Be invisible when invisible was safer. It wasn't weakness — it was strategy, and it worked. You survived. You succeeded, by most measures. And somewhere in the process, self-discipline replaced self-trust, and you became fluent in everyone's needs but your own.

I don't think that needs fixing so much as it needs examining — together, honestly. We'll find where those strategies came from, what they cost you, and what becomes possible when you stop needing them. Less anxiety. More ease. Relationships that don't require you to shrink to stay in them. A life that's actually yours, led from the inside.

I believe the world changes when women authentically take their space. I'd like to help you get there.

Make an Appointment

You might be in the right place if...

  • You can articulate your patterns perfectly and still feel stuck inside them.

  • You grew up needing to be good, easy, impressive, or invisible — and you're tired.

  • You've spent years suspecting something is fundamentally wrong with you — and somewhere along the way, someone needed you to believe that.

  • You've tried therapy before and understood yourself better, but didn't feel different — because insight alone doesn't undo what your body learned to survive.

  • You've started to notice where your beliefs about yourself actually came from, and you don't love the source.

  • You want a therapist who will tell you the truth, not just nod supportively.

Common Client Concerns

  • A woman taking a mirror selfie with her phone, standing in front of a wall covered in hexagonal mirror tiles, creating a fragmented reflection of her face and upper body.

    Trauma

    Events, relationships, and environments can be traumatizing. I often work with individuals who want to understand and unwind the hold trauma has on their lives.

  • A person looking into a small piece of a mirror in their hand. The mirror reflect a part of their face, mostly their eye.

    Narcissistic Injury

    Narcissistic relationships can create long lasting harm, whether with a caregiver, a partner, a cult, or a high-control religion. I have experience helping clients understand and repair the impact of these relationships.

  • A lightbox sign with colorful block letters spelling out the word "NOBODY". The sign is placed on a surface against a blurred background.

    Anxiety & People-Pleasing

    I have extensive experience working with people who hold themselves to incredibly high standards, are very self-critical, and struggle with saying no or disappointing others.

    Somatic Disturbance

    Sometimes the body is the first indicator that something is out of balance with our mental health. I enjoy collaborating with individuals looking to explore the mind-body dimension of their physical symptoms.
