Therapists in Tennessee
I have experience working with individuals and families from a variety of backgrounds and life experiences with particular expertise working with adults and adolescents experiencing anxiety, OCD, depression, relationship issues, trauma, grief, or simply needing support navigating through life’s crossroads.
I am committed to working dynamically with individuals so they can live healthier, fuller, more meaningful lives. My treatment approach is rooted in Jungian-oriented psychotherapy, Focusing and other somatic practices, and Collaborative Problem Solving. I hold a Masters degree in Social work with a concentration in Advanced Clinical Practice from Columbia University. I offer counseling sessions tailored to each individual‘s unique experience — taking into account biological, psychological, social, and spiritual factors — and guiding a process that acknowledges and respects a person’s inherent wisdom toward wholeness and healing.

I am dedicated to creating a warm, supportive, non-judgmental space for personal growth and healing, where your full authentic self is welcomed. I believe that one of the most important parts of healing in therapy is developing a compassionate therapeutic relationship, built upon respect, trust, curiosity, and thoughtfulness. I work primarily with teens and adults who may be struggling with life transitions, anxiety, OCD, depression, trauma, relationship issues, and more.

Other search terms: HOCD, SO- OCD, sexual orientation OCD, ROCD, relationship OCD, POCD, harm OCD, intrusive thoughts, violent thoughts, retroactive jealousy, real event OCD; somatic OCD; BFRB, body-focused repetitive behaviors, trichotillomania, hair-pulling, skin-picking, excoriation; GAD, anxiety, panic, social anxiety, health anxiety, hypochondriasis.
I specialize in Rumination-Focused ERP for OCD. This approach to ERP focuses on treating compulsive rumination, and provides a highly systematic yet gentler approach to exposure therapy. RF-ERP can be helpful to patients who have not made significant progress in other types of treatment, including individuals with Pure O or Sensorimotor OCD. I also believe in the importance of treating the emotional dynamics that underlie OCD symptoms. I therefore integrate psychoanalytic treatment within and alongside ERP, to foster deeper and more lasting change than ERP alone can offer.

Do you feel stuck? Maybe you feel like you’ll never get out of the same old routine no matter what you do. Or you think, “Even if I talk to someone about what’s going on, my clothes won’t get folded,” or, “My kid just won’t get off their phone. We’ve tried everything!” And, to be fair, you probably have tried everything. At least, everything that works for “everyone else”. I’m Abby. I specialize in working with people who think a little differently. Whether you’re a teen (or a parent of one), neurodivergent (ADHD, Autism, OCD, etc.), or experiencing burnout, you may have thought, “How do I get back to normal?”

As a therapist who specializes in OCD and trauma treatment, I know it’s possible to feel free.
I know it can feel so isolating to experience anxiety, depression, or just mental health concerns you cannot explain. Although many people experience these things, healing is best fostered in relationships. Together, we can help that "loud speaker" put the microphone away.

I have experience helping youth and adults with trauma, grief, mood disorders, OCD, ADHD, autism, substance abuse, co-dependency, and identity issues.
My ideal client wants to be their whole self in therapy and feel free to cry, laugh, curse, or make cultural references in session. I am most sought out by progressive clients in need of a therapist who values authenticity, cultural humility, and social justice. My clients usually have multiple historically exploited identities (LGBTQ+, POC, women, etc.) and are often fellow healers, helpers, teachers, students, and artists. I frequently work with non-monogamous clients and neuro-divergent clients due to my knowledge and lived experience. I enjoy helping make evidence based approaches more accessible to a diverse range of clients.
