Online Therapy in Tennessee for Burnout, Identity Shifts, and Religious Deconstruction
You've always been the one who figures everything out.
Online therapy gives us the space to slow down, together, when the strategies that once worked no longer do.
Therapy Doesn't Have to Happen in an Office to Feel Deeply Personal
One of the things I appreciate most about online therapy is that many clients arrive feeling more like themselves.
They're in a familiar environment.
They don't have to navigate traffic, sit in a waiting room, or shift abruptly from a vulnerable conversation back into their day.
Instead, we can begin where you already are.
For many thoughtful adults—especially those navigating burnout, religious deconstruction, neurodivergence, grief, or identity shifts—that sense of familiarity helps create the conditions for deeper work.
Online therapy allows you to work with the best therapist for you, from anywhere in Tennessee — whether you live in Chattanooga, Nashville, Knoxville, Memphis, a small rural town, or somewhere in between.
My Approach to Online Therapy
I don't believe healing happens because someone gives you better advice.
Most of the people I work with already know what they "should" do.
What they're missing isn't information.
Our work in therapy provides enough space to understand themselves differently.
My role isn't to hand you another strategy.
It's to help you notice the ones you've been carrying for years—and gently explore whether they're still serving you.
Who I Work With
Online therapy may be a good fit if...
You've always been the dependable one.
You're exhausted from holding everything together.
You're queer and/or neurodivergent and tired of masking.
You're questioning beliefs that once gave your life structure.
You're grieving the life you thought you'd have.
You're realizing that understanding yourself isn't the same as trusting yourself.
Why Online Therapy Can Work Surprisingly Well
For many people recovering from high-control environments, online therapy can actually feel safer and more accessible than sitting in a traditional office.
Especially if you spent years monitoring yourself, masking parts of your identity, fearing judgment, suppressing emotions, or feeling hyperaware of how others perceived you
Being in your own environment can help your nervous system relax enough to access deeper honesty, emotion, and self-understanding.
Online therapy also allows you to:
work with a therapist who specializes in what you want to work on, instead of settling for whoever is nearby
avoid long commutes or complicated scheduling
process difficult emotions from the comfort of your own space
maintain greater privacy and confidentiality
reduce the stress of waiting rooms or running into people you know
access therapy more easily if you are neurodivergent, disabled, chronically ill, or overwhelmed by sensory/social demands
fit therapy more realistically into demanding careers, caregiving responsibilities, or unpredictable schedules
For many high-functioning adults, online therapy feels more emotionally sustainable and easier to consistently maintain long-term.
Choosing Your Therapy Format
There is no “perfect” format — only different ways of working depending on your nervous system, schedule, goals, and processing style.
Recurring therapy sessions might be a good fit if you:
want steady, ongoing support over time
appreciate consistency and continuity
prefer to process experiences gradually as they arise
benefit from accountability and regular emotional support
want therapy integrated into everyday life
This format can create a stable place to return to, especially during periods of transition, stress, or uncertainty.
Extended Deep Work sessions might be a better fit if you:
feel like it takes a while to truly settle into therapy
think deeply, overanalyze, or get stuck in mental loops
want more time to fully process experiences without being cut off
are navigating complex religious trauma, deconstruction, grief, or identity shifts
intellectually understand your patterns but still feel emotionally stuck
have a schedule that makes weekly therapy difficult
want a more spacious, concentrated, depth-oriented experience
Extended therapy sessions (90 minutes to 3 hours) are designed to allow for deeper emotional processing, nervous system regulation, and meaningful integration.
Instead of stopping right as something important begins to emerge, we have time to stay with it.
Many of my clients tell me it takes thirty or forty minutes just to arrive, because they've spent years staying in their heads.
Extended sessions create enough room to move beyond explaining your experience... into actually experiencing it.

Is online therapy effective?
Yes! Online therapy is well-researched and has been shown to be highly effective. I’ve worked successfully with online therapy clients throughout my career, and I’m intentional about creating sessions that feel emotionally connected, grounded, collaborative, and genuinely supportive — even through a screen.
Online therapy is not the right fit for people currently experiencing severe or immediate crises, such as active suicidality, psychosis, mania, or situations requiring higher levels of care
If you are in crisis, please call 911, dial 988, or text 741-741 for immediate support.
Online Therapy in Tennessee for Burnout, Identity Shifts, and Religious Deconstruction
I work with clients throughout Tennessee, including in: Nashville, Memphis, Knoxville, Murfreesboro, Franklin, Chattanooga, and surrounding areas.
As a therapist who is LGBTQIA+ affirming, neurodivergence-affirming, and specialized in religious deconstruction, burnout, and grief, I care deeply about creating therapy that feels emotionally safe, nuanced, and genuinely supportive for people whose experiences may not fit neatly into traditional spaces.
If you've spent years being the one who figured everything out...
you don't have to figure this out alone.
I'd be honored to walk alongside you.
