Sandplay Therapists in Nashville, TN

As a nonbinary AuDHD therapist, I provide therapy for queer and neurodivergent people of all ages. I specialize in complex trauma and identity work, as well as other common experiences that our communities manage like anxiety, depression, stress, and family or relational difficulties. I think we all deserve a safe place to heal and be ourselves, and I would be honored to create one of those spaces for you.

At Arroyo Psychological Services, we believe that therapy is a collaborative journey built on trust, respect, and genuine human connection. We are a team of compassionate clinicians dedicated to creating a safe and supportive environment where individuals, couples, and families can explore challenges, build resilience, and discover meaningful growth. Our approach is rooted in empathy and evidence-based practice. We meet each client where they are—honoring their unique experiences, values, and goals—while helping them develop the tools and insight needed to create lasting change. Whether addressing anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, life transitions, or personal development, we aim to guide our clients toward greater clarity, balance, and well-being. We take pride in being a diverse and collaborative team united by a shared mission: to make high-quality mental health care accessible, personalized, and grounded in authentic connection. At Arroyo Psychological Services, we don’t just provide therapy—we partner with our clients in creating meaningful, lasting transformation.

I want to create a safe space for you, so you look forward to joining me on your journey toward restoration and peace. I want to spark positive growth within, and go with you on a powerful, healing, and revitalizing journey where you receive the support you need. Give me a call! I’m excited to start the voyage with you!

Nashville's identity as the hub of the country music and entertainment industries creates distinct demand for therapists who understand performance anxiety, creative identity, and the psychological pressures of a career where public persona and private self are often difficult to separate. The city's explosive growth — driven by healthcare, technology, and tourism — has brought a large influx of transplants navigating social isolation and the challenge of building community in a fast-changing city. Vanderbilt University Medical Center and HCA Healthcare, one of the largest hospital systems in the country, provide major institutional mental health resources alongside a growing network of private practices. Nashville's strong faith community means many residents seek therapists who can integrate spiritual values with evidence-based treatment for anxiety, depression, and relationship concerns.
