Therapists in Memphis, TN

Anxiety and depression can hold you back because fear can stop you from making the positive change needed for creating harmony and peace in your life. I provide a confidential, non-judgmental, and accepting environment to process the influences of family patterns, personal history, and social expectations that may or may not match your authentic inner self. Together, we will find effective strategies to manage the causes of your anxiety so that you may experience inner peace, harmony, and self-confidence. I use a mindfulness-based approach to empower people as they engage in self-discovery or work through interpersonal conflict.

I rely on Motivational Interviewing, identifying stages of change, Cognitive Behavior Therapy, Person-Centered techniques, Exposure Therapy, and Strengths Based approaches in my clinical work to treat a variety of mental health symptoms. I works with individuals ages 18+ experiencing anxiety, depression, disruptive behaviors, relationship and communication challenges, low self-esteem, and mood disorders.

Do you need help in areas of your life? Are you unsure of what your next steps are? Did trauma affect you so bad you don't know where to turn? Did LIFE happen and make you rethink everything? I am here to help...

Welcome! I am a registered drama therapist passionate about empowering clients, and using creative approaches to build resiliency. We all have unique stories and experiences that shape the way we see ourselves and the world around us. It is my goal to create a safe, compassionate space for individuals to explore these stories and increase personal growth. I have a passion for working with children, teens, and young adults in navigating healthy emotional expression, adaptive coping, life transitions, and trauma processing. My professional experience is rooted in PTSD, complex trauma, depression, anxiety, and toxic stress.

Welcome, I'm happy to share a little about my practice with you. I've been practicing for 15 years using cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT and CBT-I), solution focused brief therapy (SFBT), relapse and crisis prevention, and EMDR. Over the years I've worked with numerous populations that include individuals, families, adolescents and active duty service members in acute and geriatric psychiatry, as well as in women's health and outpatient settings. My practice centers on trauma informed care and holistic wellness. I have rooted my practice in understanding the impact of adverse childhood events and I have advanced training in EMDR.

Our thoughts and feelings affect every part of our lives. They can often be guided by our trauma, anxiety, depression, or life stressors. My goal as a therapist is to work with clients to process and learn ways to live more fully. I lean heavily on focusing on the client’s internal strengths to learn effective strategies. I am guided by cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and solution focused techniques. My experience has given me the opportunity to work with all ages struggling with anxiety, depression, grief, and phase of life issues. It is my goal to provide the client with a safe space free of judgement.

*While my practice is currently full, feel free to email me regarding the waitlist.* Sometimes the hardest thing to do is show up. Your healing is important, and no one deserves to suffer in isolation. I believe that all people are inherently resilient, and you are no exception. My counseling approach is humanistic-experiential, as I believe in tailoring our sessions to fit best who you are as a person. My approach is strengths-based, encourages emotional awareness and release, along with evidence-based therapies of EMDR and IFS.
