I am a Licensed Marital and Family Therapist in both Tennessee (#1705) and California (#116289). I meet with clients in person on Mondays near the Wedgewood Houston area in Nashville and offer virtual sessions the rest of the week to TN and CA residents. I received my Masters in Marital and Family Therapy from the University of San Diego in 2016 and enjoy working with teens, adults, couples, and families. Prior to opening Exhale Family Therapy and Wellness, PC, I worked at UCSD Internal Medicine and Pediatrics working collaboratively with Primary Care Doctors to provide mental health treatment, San Diego Center for Children Foster Family Agency Stabilization and Treatment (FFAST) program with at-risk youth and their families, True Life Center; an Intensive Outpatient Program, and with a group psychotherapy practice based out of San Diego. Working in a variety of settings has allowed me to get experience with multiple ages, mental health struggles, and treatment approaches.
I grew up in Grand Rapids, Michigan and currently live in Nashville, Tennessee. Prior to living in Nashville, I lived in Chicago and San Diego and love both of these cities! I decided to become a therapist after pursuing my own therapy in my early 20’s. I found therapy to be incredibly supportive and wanted to help others in the same way. I am passionate about continuing to learn and grow both professionally and personally to provide the best care to clients and to show up authentically. I am honored to sit with you.
In addition to meeting with clients, I am also a mom to a spirited 4 year old, daughter and 1 year old, lab mix puppy Luca. I enjoy being active and checking out new restaurants around the city. I value authenticity, self-development, connection, spirituality, courage, gratitude, and humor!
