come home to yourself

hi, I’m Bailey.

I started Homebody Therapy because I believe that healing isn't about escaping yourself—it's about coming back home. We are our first and longest lasting homes, and oftentimes, we learn to abandon ourselves to meet the demands of the world. Homebody aims to challenge that.

Whether you are navigating anxiety, grief, or simply feeling disconnected, this is your invitation to pause, take a deep breath, and remember what it feels like to be at home in your body.

I consider my approach to be warm, curious, and kind. I deeply value the relationships we build in the therapy room. Because of that, my goal is to embody compassion, to model authenticity, and to create a connection that heals.

I am accepting new clients in the state of Tennessee and enjoy working with teens, families, and couples, in addition to individual adults.

let’s get started

support tailored to your needs

All of my work is rooted in the belief that healing happens when we feel safe and understood and that the only expert on your experience is you.

You don't need to change out of your pajamas, brush your hair, or have your story neatly packaged. You just need to show up as you are.

not sure what you need? that’s okay!

I offer a free 15-minute consultation call where we can talk through what's bringing you here. This helps us to determine whether we would be a good therapeutic fit. From there, we might schedule an initial session to get to know each other and formulate some goals. Or, if I know another clinician would be better equipped to support you, I will offer referrals.

There is no one size fits all approach. We'll build the supports that fit you.

therapy is for everybody ·

I focus on grief, relationships, women’s issues, and life transitions.

  • A sage green tear drop.

    Grief

    Our culture treats grief like an obstacle to be overcome as quickly as possible. In my experience, grief is rarely tidy, and “moving on” doesn’t ever mean what we want it to. My work is especially attuned to the types of grief we often pretend no longer hurt: growing up with emotionally immature parents, losing a beloved pet, realizing that you deserved better.

  • A burnt orange heart.

    Relationships

    So many of our relational issues often come down to miscommunication. We all carry different histories, wounds, interpretations of the same words. You might be speaking from a place of fear; they might be hearing criticism. You might be asking for connection; they might be hearing control. Together, we'll use evidence-based communication strategies to get to the heart of your message.

    Women's issues

    So much of what we experience as women requires us to shrink ourselves in order to prioritize everyone else. Whether you are caring for young children, aging parents, a partner, or an entire team at work—the mental load can be relentless. The world needs you whole, not small. And you deserve to know what it feels like to take a full breath in a body that feels like home.

  • A dark green circular cycle of arrows pointing to each other.

    Life transitions

    Few of the paths we face are smooth and linear. Careers shift, kids leave home, marriages evolve, parents age — I help people make sense of these changes and reconnect with who they are becoming. We’ll work to make space for both the ache of what’s ending and the possibility of what’s beginning, so you can move forward with clarity, compassion, and a deeper sense of self.
