Dialectical Behavior (DBT) Therapists in Memphis, TN

I’m a Licensed Master Social Worker committed to creating an empathetic, therapeutic relationship based on trust, compassion and understanding. I understand that Behavioral Health treatment is not “One Size Fits All”. Which is why I use various evidence based treatment methods (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Motivational Interviewing, and Moral Recognition Therapy) to help my clients navigate their feelings and set them on a path to wellness.

I view counseling as a vital practice that involves connection, commitment, and hope for change. I’m able to recognize the courage it takes for anyone to ask for help, and I want to recognize the strength it takes to chose to ask for what you need. I focus on approaching each therapeutic relationship with understanding to begin building trust and open communication. My desire is to be able to provide a safe place for anyone to feel heard and work together to allow for growth.

My hope is to create a relationship between the therapist and the individual that fosters positive and lasting change. To that end, I work patiently to ensure a sense of trust and safety. In addition, I feel I work well with individuals who go to therapy to be challenged, to be "unstuck." In these cases, I can be supportive while also being firm and direct. My approach is sensitive to the individual's life circumstance, their personality, and their comfort level with the therapeutic process.

I practice counseling with the perspective that humans develop behaviors to serve some sort of purpose. As a counselor, I am here to offer guidance and support for when those behaviors are no longer necessary or are no longer serving the purpose that was intended. I strive to assist clients in developing a balance in how they both experience and express emotions, with the belief that there is no "bad" emotion. My goal is to work with clients in discovering a state of awareness of the uncertainty in life rather than a fear of it.

I AM currently only accepting new Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP) clients. Please visit our website to learn more about KAP. www.transcendenthealth.net. I have not found a modality this powerful since I found Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). Ketamine influences the glutamate neurotransmitter system in the brain, a critical pathway involved in mood regulation, thought patterns, and pain perception. By modulating this system, ketamine can help restore neural connections and encourage the growth of new neural pathways, improving mood, thought processes, and pain relief.

My therapeutic style includes using a collaborative and customized approach that targets areas of your life you are seeking to improve. We focus on skill building, regulating emotions, managing interpersonal conflict, and processing feelings and underlying needs in order to help increase fulfillment and improve overall functioning. I specifically use Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Supportive therapy, and Solution-focused strategies in my therapeutic approach.

I also utilize my own Christian faith to counsel clients that are interested in exploring their own relationship with God and processing religious trauma in a safe and nonjudgmental way.

Searching for someone to help when we are struggling can be difficult and uncomfortable.

"The aim of life is self-development. To realize one's nature perfectly - that is what each of us is here for." Oscar Wilde.

Virtual only! I live in TX. Clients who are struggling but wanting to not only heal, but also grow have the potential for being extremely powerful people. We have all gone through difficult times, experiencing anxiety, fear, depression, and hopelessness. However, if we have healed, we look back and see those times as hard, but some of the most powerful in our lives. Hearts can become strong, marriages can be healed and become euphoric, and our families can become strong, powerful, and beautiful. If you have a Christian background, I can help you become stronger in your faith. Executive Coaching available.

Sometimes life just gets messy. I enjoy supporting both minors and adults in finding self compassion and growth while experiencing the uncomfortable. In sessions together, we can learn to do this by navigating trauma responses, depression, anxiety, life transitions, suicidal thoughts, relationships, body-image challanges, disordered eating, behavioral issues, and stress. Through both doing my own work and spending time with clients, I wholeheartedly feel we can find so much healing by getting curious about our emotions and greeting whatever arises with kindness, respect, and a bit of humor
