Dialectical Behavior (DBT) Therapists in River Oaks-Kirby-Balmoral, Memphis, TN

Life can be tiring and exhausting. Sometimes it can feel like we're underwater and there's no relief in sight. When we're having strong thoughts we can't seem to shake, it's truly just peace we're looking for and I hope to help you find that.

I strive to maintain a warm and safe environment for my clients, helping them feel connected and validated. Starting therapy can seem overwhelming, but I am here to support you throughout this process. We will work to determine what your goals are and how you can get there. I work well with people wanting to heal their past traumas that continue to impact their daily life. I also utilize my own Christian faith to counsel clients that are interested in exploring their own relationship with God and processing religious trauma in a safe and nonjudgmental way.

Clients who are struggling but wanting to not only heal, but also grow have the potential for being extremely powerful people. We have all gone through difficult times, experiencing anxiety, fear, depression, and hopelessness. However, if we have healed, we look back and see those times as hard, but some of the most powerful in our lives. Hearts can become strong, marriages can be healed and become euphoric, and our families can become strong, powerful, and beautiful. If you have a Christian background, I can help you become stronger in your faith. If you want to become a stronger leader, I am also an executive coach.

I practice counseling with the perspective that humans develop behaviors to serve some sort of purpose. As a counselor, I am here to offer guidance and support for when those behaviors are no longer necessary or are no longer serving the purpose that was intended. I strive to assist clients in developing a balance in how they both experience and express emotions, with the belief that there is no "bad" emotion. My goal is to work with clients in discovering a state of awareness of the uncertainty in life rather than a fear of it.

I am accepting new supervisees for licensure in MS & TN, in addition to any EMDR trained therapist needing consultation or working towards certification. I believe in a tailored approach to meet clients where they are and work together to develop a road map for his or her journey through change. I specialize in using a combination of EMDR with mindfulness, Ego State Therapy, CBT/DBT, Motivational Interviewing, and Expressive Art Therapy to assist clients in the healing process. I have experience working with dual-diagnosis population in both individual and group settings.

I began practicing outpatient mental health in 2010 working with individuals struggling with depression, anxiety disorders, bipolar disorder, co-occurring substance use, trauma and borderline personality disorder. Clients often want to feel better, and I enjoy coming alongside to understand what feeling better means for each person, what are their hopes and dreams, and how can we partner together to achieve those dreams. Sometimes, that means needing to heal from past hurts. Sometimes that means learning how to navigate shame, anxiety, depression that keeps one in bed, or anger that comes out in unhelpful ways.

Feeling overwhelmed? Have no one to talk to? Feeling like you don’t want to “burden” family or friends? It is my goal to provide a safe, comfortable and relaxed environment that will allow you to share, process, understand how to regulate emotion, and learn healthier ways of coping with life stressors. During my years as a psychotherapist, I have had the pleasure of helping persons struggling with such issues as depression, anxiety, mood swings, the effects of recent and past traumas and addiction.

I am a Counselor and Art Therapist with experience treating teens and adults for various anxiety and depressive disorders.

As a therapist I strive to provide a safe and nurturing space where you feel free to explore what it means to be you and navigate life’s struggles without judgement. Therapy brings us to some of our most vulnerable moments, and I make it my mission that you feel heard, validated, and free to discover, maybe for the first time or perhaps again, who you are and/or who you’d like to become. I help clients navigate ways to improve their lives while also treating trauma-related issues, grief, relational and interpersonal challenges, family of origin issues, depression, and anxiety.
