Therapists in Oakhaven, Memphis, TN

Life is hard, and often we fall into patterns of the past that do not currently serve us. Never underestimate your potential for growth and for renewal!

Are you feeling frozen in fear of the unknown? Has a traumatic event halted your ability to cope with life? Are life transitions just difficult to process? As a empathetic and trauma-informed therapist, I meet you where you are at in life. Together, we'll navigate life's challenges with a focus on mindfulness, self-discovery, and empowerment. I am LGBTQIA+ & Neurodivergent affirming. I do not take insurance, but offer superbills.

Hello and welcome! I believe everyone has the capacity for change and is able to benefit from the power of therapy. Whether its everyday stressors, more serious conditions, or anything in between, it feels good to have someone walking with you. If you are looking for someone to listen, ready to be challenged, and have the desire to take charge of your life, I would be honored to help.

"Meet people where they are" is my motto. To me, that is the best place to start. Making the decision to begin therapy is hard and sometimes scary. My goal is to create a safe space for my clients to address whatever they are struggling with. I am non-judgmental and understand that there are reasons people are and/or feel a certain way. I love helping people understand the root of the issue and working to resolve and get healing from the issue.

Are you challenged by various feelings, thoughts, and emotions related to the experiences and circumstances of your life? Have you noticed life is filled with experiences and circumstances both within and beyond your control? Life is a complex web of events bewildering our minds and challenging our feelings, emotions, and thoughts. I specialize in helping adults impacted by childhood developmental trauma, intimate partner violence, trauma, and intrapersonal (with self) and interpersonal (with others) relationship challenges explore new possibilities in relationship with self and others.

Are you tired of repeating the same old patterns? Do you feel disconnected from your life? Are you wondering if what you're feeling is "normal?" My therapeutic mission is to provide clients with clear guidance, compassionate encouragement, and sound accountability in a safe and non-judgmental environment. My style is relational, direct, and genuine.

TRAUMA: An overwhelming experience that is too much, too fast. If too stressed or truly overwhelmed, our natural survival responses can be blocked. If unable to complete our body’s survival responses, trauma can occur and often symptoms emerge. We can feel stuck in the fear of flight, the anger of fight or the depression of freeze. As one who facilitates healing from emotional, spiritual, and physical pain and suffering, I am dedicated to working compassionately, non-judgmentally and collaboratively with you to become "unstuck" and find a greater sense of healing and wholeness.

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.

Are you struggling with anxiety, stress, depression, trauma, major life changes, relationship issues, grief, or other emotional concerns? I am here to listen and help guide you. Major life events and trauma can negatively impact life if not addressed. I will provide you the space to work through those experiences and offer you the tools that will enable you to grow and work through these challenges. If you would like my help in dealing with these experiences so that they no longer control your life, or just need someone to listen and offer hope and understanding, please reach out to me.

Life has its share of challenges. These can leave us feeling anxious, depressed, lost, insecure, and in need of change. Reaching out for support is the first step to healing. I understand what has brought you to this page has not been easy, but I'm glad you're here. I am passionate about helping others live a life they want to live. I have experience supporting anxiety, OCD, depression, relationship conflict, trauma, work/academic stressors, self-esteem/identity, grief, life transitions, & existential concerns.

Do you overthink — everything? Are you your own harshest critic? Perhaps you give often, take little, and constantly put others before yourself, even to the point of overwhelm? It is hard work to keep looking like you’ve got it all together as life has gotten increasingly stressful. I offer down-to-earth, interactive, and genuine support to help you tackle life’s challenges, find ways to cope, and understand yourself and others better.
