NCTP Interns
We are thrilled to have interns here at Nashville Center for Trauma and Psychotherapy who help our practice run smoothly, and provide income dependent fees, serving Nashville with affordable therapy. What!? We know you thought that was impossible!
Our current interns are with us as they complete their master's degrees in counseling. Supervision will be provided directly by one of our licensed therapists while they are practicing at NCTP. If you are interested in the limited lower fee spots for counseling associated with seeing an intern, let us know in order to be placed on the schedule.

I have been interested in how the brain works and mental health for as long as I can remember. I studied psychology and acting when my children were younger and began pursuing my Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling when my youngest entered high school. I love experiencing and studying the intricacies of human relationships, learning techniques to change thinking and feeling, and discovering new ways to improve overall well-being. My empathy for human suffering runs deep and I know that suffering alone is the worst scenario.
As a Trevecca University Master’s candidate intern, it is my goal to provide you with a source of comfort, solace, and hope. We will work together to discover the path that will lead you to a better, more fulfilling life. My therapeutic approach is client-centered and begins with connection and empathy. Using modalities such as CBT (cognitive behavioral therapy), and techniques like MI (motivational interviewing), I hope to help you understand how to use your own inner resources to make the choices that you want for yourself, but that seem out of reach.
