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.

Life is messy and complicated and hard. If you are struggling, overwhelmed or just lost, you are not alone. It takes a great deal of courage to ask for help and every person deserves to feel safe, seen and heard.

As a Clinical Intern studying at Vanderbilt University, I am honored to walk with you as you navigate life’s challenges. My aim is to create a safe, non-judgemental collaborative space where we will work on building trust and solving problems together. My therapeutic approach is rooted in trauma-informed care, as well as a client-centered approach, which focuses on learning and building a client's strengths, finding the potential for growth, and a client’s autonomy. My goal is to help client’s foster a better understanding of themselves, their emotions, and the world around them.

I am passionate about working with neurodiverse populations, as well as the LGBTQ community.

Outside of the office, I am an avid baker, fantasy lover, and reader. You can find me spending time with friends and family and trying to find the best breakfast tacos in town.

Each of us has a story, and every story is full of joy and sorrow, valleys and peaks, brokenness and healing. Whatever challenges you are facing, we aren’t wired to face the fear, hurt, and loneliness of life alone. I seek to create a caring and safe space where your story can be shared, honored, and understood. Together, we can explore what might be getting in the way of deeper connection with yourself, with others, and with fullness of life. 

As a master’s candidate and counseling intern from Richmont Graduate University, I consider it a privilege to walk alongside you in your journey. Our paths in life do not always go as we expect, and I am deeply committed to supporting you as you navigate life’s twists and turns. While you may not be able to change the events of your story, it is possible to change the way you relate to your story.

My therapeutic approach is compassionate, relational, and collaborative. I approach therapy from a trauma-informed, attachment-based perspective, with the understanding that while our pain can often be rooted in relationship, so too can healing flow from a restorative experience in the therapeutic relationship. My hope is that you feel seen, heard, and valued, and that the time we spend together can be a balm for the places you’ve felt most alone.

Prior to my career in therapy, I worked in the construction industry for 15 years, but even then, my heart was as often engaged with the people in the industry as with the projects. These days, my free time is usually spent at a sporting event with my husband, as we watch our four kids, ages 16, 14, 12, and 10, compete in the activities they enjoy. I also love being outdoors, taking our dog Alex for a walk, reading a good book, and catching up with friends on the weekends. I look forward to meeting you, and I am grateful for the opportunity to hear your story.

Are you someone who has experienced trauma, anxiety, or depression, and is ready to begin your journey toward healing? Do you find yourself affected by the weight of past experiences, current stress, or unhealthy coping habits? If so, you’ve taken an important step by seeking support.

As a master's candidate and counseling intern from Walden University, I work with teens, young adults, adults, and couples. I am passionate about helping clients identify how traumatic events have shaped their current state. My therapeutic approach is rooted in trauma-informed care (TIC) and person-centered therapy (PCT), allowing me to meet clients where they are and provide a safe, non-judgmental environment.

I have experience working with individuals facing trauma, anxiety, and depression, and I aim to understand the impact of these experiences while helping clients move forward. By embracing a collaborative approach, I seek to empower clients to explore their emotions, gain insight, and develop healthier coping strategies. Together, we will work to foster resilience, healing, and growth in your life.

During my free time, I enjoy spending time with loved ones, reading a new thrilling book or murder mystery, or escaping reality in a fantasy novel. I also love trying new recipes and taking long walks with my dog, Bear.

Thank you for taking time to consider counseling.  As you seek to improve your future, be more engaged in the present, or make sense of your past, you need someone who is fully invested in you and your journey.  Every person deserves respect and support regardless of race, age, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, religion, ability, education, or financial situation.  Often, those who have the most to give reserve the least for themselves.

I engage using person-centered therapy.  This means that my focus in counseling is you, and I have a particular emphasis on goal oriented approaches to life, better understanding of mindset and where it comes from, and being deliberate through the ups and downs of life.  I have enjoyed working with people who feel life's demands are often more than they can take.  

I am mid-journey myself as an intern from Wake Forest University master's program.  My background includes 20 years of work across different industries and geographies.  After spans as an astronaut instructor at NASA and as a technology executive, my transition into mental health is fulfilling and rewarding.  I look forward to hearing about your journey and supporting you as you move forward.
