Therapists in Memphis, TN

I am a licensed psychologist with training and experience in treating a wide variety of psychological disorders. I work with adults with alcoholism, drug addiction, posttraumatic stress disorder, depression, anxiety, phobias and phase of life problems, i.e. marital problems and divorce, job loss, physical illness. While my approach to treatment is primarily cognitive-behavioral, I also rely on other treatment approaches and interventions. I believe that the psychologist and the individual must work together as a team. Thus, each treatment plan is created by working together according to the needs of the individual.

I am a Licensed Psychotherapist in private practice in the state of Georgia. I help children and adults overcome the negative effects that stressful or traumatic life experiences have on how a person thinks, feels, and behaves.

“How can I make things better?” Whether you’re managing mental health issues like anxiety or depression or existing in a dissatisfying relationship, you’ve probably asked yourself many versions of this question. If you’re willing to work hard and are open to making changes, know that you have every reason to believe you can enjoy a healthier and happier life. Our purpose is to help our clients know what changes they may need to make in order to reach their goals. We are eager to serve and look forward to working with you.

I would love to explore and assist you in aligning your attractor field with your authentic self. You can shift your daily experiences by uncovering what your deepest desire is attracting and manifesting in life. Are you ready to consciously meet your needs rather than allowing hidden imprints and beliefs to create repeating loops. Many symptoms of mental health including past trauma, addictive tendencies, and relationship issues can create a loss of hope and loss of excitement about life. I will assist you in clearing a path for your next chapter in the book of life.

Are you ready for a change? Have you been struggling to find direction in your life? Is substance use or addiction part of your story? Do you feel like others dictate your agenda leaving you feeling unfulfilled or inadequate? Are you one of the many struggling with stress, anxiety, overwhelm and depression? You are not alone. Many of us are left searching for more depth and meaning in our lives and feeling like we are not living up to our true potential. Some of us are also finding that our personal finances are out of alignment with our lifestyle as we try to solve internal struggles with external solutions. I'm here to offer hope.

The focus of my psychotherapy practice has tended toward “driven” people - the high performers, hard workers, and leaders of society - who are driven to succeed. Driven people often find themselves caught in a harmful but subtle cycle. At first, their drive to succeed enables them to (over)work very hard, accomplish laudable goals, and enjoy big rewards. But the same drive also seems to entail a price tag: stressful jobs, difficult relationships, internal agonies (anxiety, depression, burnout), etc. Although survival tools - food, alcohol, love/sex, wealth, fun, etc. - can manage the pain for a while, they also entrap their users.

Many of the people that I meet in my practice are feeling "stuck" in some area of life - they can't seem to get traction in making change happen. Addictions, co-dependence, anxiety, depression, anger, poor self-image, lack of assertiveness, lack of closeness in relationships, and struggles with getting past major life traumas are many of the issues we focus on in sessions.

I am a Licensed Clinical Pastoral Therapist who is also licensed as a Professional Counselor (Mental Health Service Provider) and as a Marital and Family Therapist. I have worked with diverse populations of individuals, couples and families for 30 years--as an executive director and therapist in medical settings, in two pastoral counseling centers, and now in an independent practice. With families I am committed to helping them address the challenges of staying connected and in communication.. With individuals I seek to understand barriers to healthy intentions, the failures one feels, and I become an active ally to change one's unhappy direction..

Young people present unique challenges, but also unique opportunities. After almost 30 years experience working with this population, there aren't many situations I haven't encountered. There is always reason for hope. What your therapist expects influences the outcomes. As a behavioral optimist, I approach clients I work with believing that no one wants to be miserable. We all want to reach our potential, as children, adolescents, parents, families, members of a community. Every living, breathing person, whatever their age, race, gender, sexual orientation, or place in life, is capable of change. That is a firm belief of mine.

I specialize in helping adult individuals overcome addiction, anxiety, trauma, depression, stress, and phase of life issues. I understand that life can present many challenges, and it's not always easy to navigate them on your own. That's why I'm here to offer support and guidance. I utilize a combination of evidence-based approaches, including Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), to help my clients achieve their goals and improve their overall well-being.

I believe you have the power within yourself to increase meaning, self-worth, satisfaction, and well-being in your life by fostering change, increasing insight, and shifting perspective. I believe that balancing and maintaining our mental, physical, emotional, and spiritual self can increase a more positive world view and a more fulfilling life journey.

The world in which we live is fast-pace and changes rapidly. The providers at Zenith are culturally competent to meet the needs of many. We are results-driven to help each patient/client with their issues and achieve their goals. Our goal is to meet the needs and not have a forever client.

My office is a safe place to heal from deep pain and dark secrets and resolve emotionally complex situations. I can help you move on and chart a new course. I am very relaxed and informal. I am not conventional, stuffy, or judgmental. Not churchy. I work quietly and deeply. I work well with sensitive people troubled by their minds, feelings, and personal or societal unrest. I can help you set healthier boundaries with family, work, friends, and lovers. Although I will likely retire in 2025, I will see current and previous clients and a short-term new client or two. Only telehealth appointments are open for the foreseeable future.
