Sunni is a Licensed Master Social Worker specializing in trauma, complex-trauma, sexuality, and coping skills for emotional dysregulation. Sunni earned their Master’s Degree in Social Work from the University of Tennessee, Knoxville in 2020, but has been working in the field of social work since 2015 within Nashville’s unhoused communities, and previously worked as a therapist at the Sexual Assault Center, focusing on clients in crisis. Sunni is currently enrolled in the University of Michigan's Sex Therapy and Sexuality Education program to complete the training needed to offer services as both a sex therapist and a sexual health educator.
Sunni is deeply passionate about curating relationships in therapy, and she does that by showing up to each session authentically as herself- and in turn hopes that gives each client the space to do the same. Sunni believes wholeheartedly that therapy should be a space of safety, belonging, and a space to stretch, grow, and learn to get comfortable with being uncomfortable. Sunni is relational in their approach and loves to laugh with clients but will also gently offer that call-in that we all need from time to time. Sunni takes the approach that the client is the expert on themselves, and adapts each session to each individual client’s needs- no “one size fits all” approach to be found here. Sunni is level 1 and 2 trained in Somatic and Attachment Focused EMDR and has had extensive training in DBT. In addition to working with trauma and anxiety, Sunni also loves to work with folks within the LGBTQIA2S+ community, exploring boundary work, attachment work, working with folks navigating their sexuality (in every definition of the word!), folks with ADHD who are struggling with executive dysfunction, and with folks looking to unapologetically fall in love with themselves.
When not in session, Sunni can be found staring lovingly at their beloved animal companions: dogs Isaac and Kira, and cat Gerald, with their partner exploring new antique shops, taking dance classes, birdwatching, listening to a podcast, or taking on another craft project that lit their brain up in the moment. Sunni loves to swap podcast and book recommendations with clients and spends a substantial amount of time knitting and crocheting.
