Hello and Welcome
Hello! I’m Russell, and I’m truly glad you’re here. I believe that every person—no matter their history or background—deserves support, compassion, and connection. It’s a privilege to be a therapist, and I take that privilege seriously—this is your one life, just like it’s my one life, and I’m here to help you discover a sense of freedom, purpose, and hope.
Why I Love this Work
I began my career in Boston at The Justice Resource Institute, where I developed a passion for supporting adolescents and adults in trauma recovery. From there, I went on to work in both outpatient and residential programs, gaining valuable insight into the resilience people can harness—especially in safe, caring environments. Eventually, I made my way back to my hometown of Nashville, where I’ve continued to focus on helping clients heal and grow. No matter where you’re starting from, I believe in your capacity for change.
A Bit About Me
When I’m not in session, you’ll find me exploring new hiking trails with my two Australian Shepherds, cheering on Nashville’s sports teams, or sampling the city’s newest restaurants. These everyday joys keep me grounded and remind me to practice the same balance and self-care I encourage in my clients.
An Invitation
If you’re seeking a therapist who balances warmth, humor, and genuine dedication to your healing, I’d love to connect. You don’t have to face life’s challenges alone. Whether you want to work through trauma, rebuild relationships, or rediscover your sense of purpose, I’m here to help. Feel free to reach out, and we’ll see if we’re a good fit.
