Family Therapy in Memphis, TN

Do you need someone to talk to, but find it difficult to trust your friends or family ? Do you have relationship problems? Have you been stricken with the loss of a loved one, and have no idea how to move forward? Do you feel you are failing as a parent, and need to regain normalcy? Have you recently become an "empty nester", and have forgotten who you are or how to live just for yourself? Has divorce turned your life upside down, and you are struggling to pick up the pieces? If you found yourself answering yes to any of these life stressors, then allow me to become your light back to the path of mental fitness.

Living in today’s world can often feel overwhelming and difficult to navigate. Children, adolescents, and adults are facing challenges they have never faced before which can be stressful. My desire as a therapist is to provide a safe, supportive environment where clients can come, be heard, and together work through those challenges. Whether your life has been impacted by trauma, mental illness, or situational stressors, we can work together to help you live a more purposeful and fulfilling life.

Do you feel disconnected from yourself, family and friends; the world? Has your story become lost in the loudness of “getting it done”? Is it hard for you to make sense of it all? If this is you, I may be able to help. My goal is to walk with you as you reconnect to your world. We can do this by teaching you skills to restore your voice and build authentic relationships. I am passionate about women’s issues and approach counseling from a place of authentic, honest connection. I believe there are many threats in society, meant to traumatize and fracture women. My goal is to help you overcome adversity and achieve wholeness.

Have you acknowledged that you have a problem and are now seeking help? When you talk to family or friends, do you feel like you are not being heard? I believe that the first step in the healing process for any issue is to be "heard" and have someone to listen to you. I provide a safe place for individuals, families, parents, and couples to speak and begin the healing process. My goal is to provide a warm, nurturing, accepting environment that meets the client where they are at.

Being human is struggle enough, isn't it? I have found in my life that the most natural thing we do is mess it up! We are a messy bunch. I am trained in Family Systems and work with individuals, couples and families. People dealing with relational struggles, infidelity, communication, parenting concerns, Family of Origin work, addiction and recovery, depression, anxiety, grief and loss, life transition and adjustment, emotional and spiritual conflict/confusion and other life struggles will find help, tools and care with me.

I enjoy working with all age groups. However, I particularly enjoy working with both men and women on their individualized issues. I also enjoy working with teens who are at the experimental stages of Alcohol and Drug issues. I have a Family Therapy background and Outpatient Mental Health, as well as over 15 years of providing EAP Counseling services, which is more Brief/Solution Focus Therapy. I love working with people helping them to reach a healthy emotional and mental state of being!! Let’s work together so that you can be happy and comfortable living in the present moment.

We meet our clients where they are to identify client-centered goals and move toward an improved quality of life. Client support is provided within a safe, confidential, & creative space. Individual, family , and group therapy options are available.

Life presents us with many unexpected challenges that can leave us feeling hurt, lonely, anxious and stressed. Maybe you are struggling with insecurity, uncertainty or a lack of direction. In times of distress, it can be difficult to share with anyone, let alone someone you’ve never met. Building a relationship is the most important step in the counseling process and hinges on empathy, respect and safety within the therapy office. Healing happens when we feel fully accepted while being vulnerable and authentic. This can only be achieved through a strong therapeutic alliance. In this space, you will be welcomed, heard and supported.

The most important parts of mental wellness are the ability to increase one’s self-awareness and broaden one’s perspective. As your counselor, I will provide a safe and judgment free environment for you to gain a better understanding of whatever issues you are dealing with as an individual, couple, or family including marital/relationship, mental health issues. The main goal of most clients is "to feel better," and I am here to help you make that goal more specific so that you can grow in the areas most important to you. I also strive to destigmatize counseling for men, Black / African-Americans, and other minority groups.

How is your relationship with yourself? Could you communicate better with your significant other? Are those work and life stressors getting harder to bare? I am your Christian relationship counselor. Let me help you to realize your value and how wonderful life can be when you love yourself. If you are in a committed relationship or contemplating marriage, knowing who you are will surely enhance your relationship. It will be my pleasure to assist you in truly becoming one with your significant other. Lets see how viewing work and life stressors in the appropriate light can make a difference.

It has been shown time and again the relationship between client and counselor is the most important part of a therapy experience. It is always on my mind to ensure that our relationship remains entirely focused on you, but as a part of the collaborative duo that will become client and therapist I’m happy to share a bit about myself. Relationally, I have been described as down-to-earth, authentic and sincere and I enjoy a bit of humorous banter in the therapy space as the situation calls for it. With humility and curiosity I am eager to hear about your life experiences. Licensed in TN (license 3396) & Virginia (license 0701010748)

I understand that life can become overwhelming at times. The key to self-happiness is being able to manage stress and anxiety, maintaining good self-care, good self-awareness, high self-esteem, eating healthy, having financial stability, maintaining healthy social systems with family and friends, and resting well. These are the keys to a healthy well-being. I am dedicated to helping women manage stress and anxiety, process grief and loss, navigate through traumatic events, build healthy relationships, and reunite with children after incarceration. I typically work with clients for 8 to 12 weeks, depending on their individual needs.

You may be going through a major shift in your life and have reached a breaking point. The good news is that you no longer have to figure it out by yourself. As a skilled and empathetic psychotherapist, my desire is to help individuals overcome anxiety, depression, grief/loss, life transitions, family and marital/relationship discord.

I believe the therapeutic relationship is an organic experience that cannot be created elsewhere. My experience has shown me that each of us walks our own path and that no two are the same. Having support while walking your path can be just the thing to make the difference. I strive to provide safety so that you can talk about your life, your family , your pain, and sit in the tension to ultimately begin living more authentically. I work from a holistic approach; given that, we will develop the best course of treatment for your needs, together.
