Emotionally Focused Therapists in Midtown, Memphis, TN
I draw from several modalities of therapy, particularly Emotionally Focused Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment therapy.
Life often presents us with difficult choices and challenges that leave us feeling stressed, drained, and disconnected. In response, we may withdraw, suppress parts of ourselves, and move further away from our values and goals. While these responses are natural, they can create tension in our relationships, work, and emotional lives.
I specialize in working with teens and young adults navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, and life transitions. Whether you're grappling with overwhelming emotions, challenges in relationship, or feeling stuck, I offer a compassionate, affirming space to explore your struggles and strengths.

Are you the one in your family/circle who has "made it" and now you have become the exhausted rescuer for the people you care about? Are there relationships in your present or past that need to be put to rest so they can stop showing up in your thought life? Have you realized some emotional triggers but not sure what to do next? Are you tired of feeling emotionally overwhelmed? Wouldn't it help to have a place you can go to process how to create healthier expectations? Would it help to have a confidential place to figure out how to work through stress without having to babysit someone else's response?

At times, it can be hard to find providers with experience in the areas where you’ve been struggling. Folks with eating disorders or disordered eating, perinatal and postpartum challenges, and trauma and PTSD can feel very alone and misunderstood as they try to find a community who has experience treating these issues. While I have experience in all of those areas, I also enjoy treating clients dealing with general self-esteem and self-worth issues, anxiety, depression and relationship issues. I believe in helping clients heal by rebuilding trust within themselves and with others as part of the therapeutic process.

I specialize in trauma therapy and couples therapy using Emotionally Focused Therapy ( EFT) and EMDR.
You may feel stuck in painful relationship patterns or overwhelmed by emotions that are difficult to understand. Many couples come to therapy because they care deeply about one another but feel caught in cycles of conflict, disconnection, or emotional distance. Others seek support for trauma, PTSD, attachment wounds, betrayal, or past experiences that continue to affect their sense of safety, trust, and connection in relationships. You may be hoping to better understand your emotional responses, improve communication, heal from painful experiences, and create stronger, more secure relationships moving forward.
