I help women live their values without guilt & anxiety. Despite being funny, smart, and hardworking, life is hard. They're constantly making sure everyone else has what they need, and forgetting themselves in the process. They feel unappreciated, exhausted, and frustrated. They worry that they're letting everyone down when they say "No." This isn't the life they imagined for themself.

As one of a few psychotherapists in Memphis who is also AASECT Certified as a sex therapist, I treat a full range of sexual, relationship and intimacy issues. Sex is one of the deepest and most powerful experiences we have, yet it can also cause distress and embarrassment when it does not go smoothly. Compounding the problem, many have been socialized to feel uncomfortable with sex or haven't received accurate sexual health information. Many people struggle in silence with sexual dysfunction and others have erotic interests that might be considered unusual by some- any of the above can result in tremendous amounts of shame.

After retirement from the USAF I pursued a degree that I could use to help others. The most effective therapy I could find is Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). For about eight years now I have worked with clients of various ages and all walks of life to address their individual trauma. I have seen insecurity replaced with confidence. My goal is to assist my clients to have a better quality of life. I work to help them replace nightmares with a good night’s sleep. Trauma effects each individual differently from depression to memory gaps, to fits of rage or drug abuse, maybe it is time to come in and talk.

Whatever brings you to therapy, you’ve likely been struggling with it for some time and are seeking relief- trying to fix it, ignoring it, carrying it around with you. No matter what “it” is, you are more than your struggle. Whether you are feeling stuck, unsure, overwhelmed, depressed, anxious, or all the above, experience has taught me that people are resilient and things can change. Together we'll make sense of what you’re feeling and why, learn new ways of being, and discover more about yourself- giving you more choice, freedom, and clarity.

Let's be honest, relationships are hard work! Therapy takes intentional effort, vulnerability and persistence to bring about meaningful change in our lives. Before that change can occur, we must first learn what is going on. I want to help you identify the negative patterns in your life and provide tools to replace them with new life-giving actions and transforming truths to bring about healing and restoration in your relationships. Change is possible!

I recognize that opening up to someone and addressing one’s personal struggles can be difficult. However, it is my belief that every person deserves to live their lives to their ultimate potential. It is my goal to provide a caring and supportive environment for each person while strengthening and empowering them. I believe that I am most effective in improving the self-efficacy of my clients by providing an environment of safety and trust. I have been a clinician for 16 years working with children, adolescents, young adults, and families.

Counseling is not someone else fixing your problems or telling you what to do; that is up to you as you are the expert of your life. It requires a person to dig deep within themselves for self awareness, understanding, acceptance, forgiveness, and/or healing. This can be uncomfortable work taking one outside their comfort zone which involves courage and resolve (grit). Courteous goodwill (grace) to oneself is often needed as people tend to treat themselves way harsher than they treat others. I believe the counseling process involves part grit and part grace, with both being needed to heal and thereby strengthening your character.

I believe knowledge is power, but we don't often know how to put that knowledge into practice; this is where I step in as your counselor. I help my clients dig deep within themselves for awareness, understanding, acceptance, change, and healing. This can sometimes be uncomfortable work, as it can take one out of their comfort zone. But it is there, through grit and grace, that we find courage, resolve, skills, solutions, and answers that are needed for enduring life's challenges. As your therapist, I will work with you as a teacher, guide, encourager, and supporter to help you become the best version of yourself.

As a therapist, I work with people who are feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or looking to make some sort of change (in life, relationships, unhealthy habits or behaviors, etc.). I work primarily from a relational-cultural approach, which means that my focus is on the therapeutic relationship, authenticity, and perhaps most importantly, collaboration. Content related to the past, present, and future are each considered to be sources of valuable information, as are thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. I value creativity and a sense of humor in my work with clients; your experience is yours alone and as such, your treatment will be individually tailored to your needs.
