Couples Therapy in East Nashville

For Every Kind of Couple. Every Season.

Let's be honest — relationships can be beautiful, messy, complicated, and everything in between. Whether you're feeling more like roommates than partners, stuck in the same argument on repeat, or just wanting to feel closer again — you don't have to figure it out alone.

​

Couples therapy offers a space to slow down, unpack what's been building up, and find your way back to each other. In person at my East Nashville office or online across Tennessee — we work together to understand the patterns, the pain points, and the parts of you both that still reach for closeness.

​

You're not broken. You're human. And whatever's happened between you, it can be worked with.

​

Couples therapy is private pay only — which means no diagnosis required, no insurance company in the room, and complete confidentiality for both of you.

​

What Does Couples Therapy Do?

Good question. This work isn't about picking sides, pointing fingers, or deciding who's right. It's about creating space where both of you can finally feel heard — and where the real conversation can start.

​

Beneath most couples conflict there's something softer trying to get through — a reach for closeness that keeps getting lost in translation. We slow that down together. We figure out what's really happening between you, what each of you is trying to say, and how to start hearing each other in a way that actually lands.

​

Using Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) — one of the most well-researched approaches for couples — we look at the emotional dance beneath your conflicts. Who reaches. Who pulls away. What each of you is really trying to communicate when things get hard. Once we can see that pattern clearly, new responses become possible. The cycle changes. Couples find each other again.

​

Whether you're dating, married, committed, open, or somewhere in between — this is about the relationship, not a label.

​

Couples Come to Therapy When They're:

• Feeling distant, disconnected, or emotionally alone in the relationship

• Arguing about the same things with no resolution

• Struggling with trust, intimacy, or knowing how to communicate what they actually feel

• Navigating major life changes — a new baby, a loss, a career shift, an empty nest

• Recovering from betrayal or a rupture in trust

• Wanting to deepen emotional or physical intimacy

• Feeling like strangers who happen to share a life

• Wanting to invest in their relationship before small things become big ones

​​

Why Choose Couples Therapy?

Because East Nashville is a community that understands that real things take real work. People here aren't afraid to grow, to question, to do things differently.

​

My office on Riverside Drive is a space built for exactly that — calm enough to slow down, honest enough to go somewhere real. And if coming in person isn't possible, online sessions work just as well for a lot of couples.

​

I hold space for couples who want more — more honesty, more closeness, more of the "we've got each other" feeling that brought you together in the first place.

​

Not Just for Crisis

Couples therapy isn't just for repair — it's for remembering. What drew you together. What you've built. What's still worth tending.

​

Whether you're at the edge or just know something needs to shift — you're not too far gone. And you don't have to stay stuck.

​

50-minute sessions are $175. Private pay only.
