Family Therapy in Memphis, TN

Relationships and chronic health issues are unique areas that we attach deep emotions to. The emotion allows us to label our level of satisfaction. Its hard to be happy when you just had the same conversation with your mate again without resolution. Its hard to have hope when you are struggling to find the strength for another fertility treatment. Increased fatigue, depression and anxiety begin to take over. They impact your self esteem, increase guilt and resentment and make every day a battle. If relationships, life transitions or chronic health issues are hindering you then I can help you establish control of your life again.

Are you troubled by self doubt, questioning your or your partner's level of commitment, or contemplating walking away from a relationship? Perhaps you are feeling disconnected from others or frustrated by an unsatisfying sex life. Is the conflict in your family extreme? Are you struggling to coparent effectively? You may be single and exasperated by the drama that sometimes comes along with dating. Or, a parent who is helplessly watching your child or adolescent struggle educationally or in social relationships. If any of these statements resonate with you, I can help you navigate your journey to contentment, confidence, and bliss.

I have been a behavior analyst for the last 20 years and have worked with a variety of children and adults in need of ABA services. Being a calm and positive have been assets to me in very difficult and challenging situations.

C.S. Lewis wrote "You can't go back and change the beginning, but you can start where you are and change the ending." Research shows that over time, we come to regret inaction more than we regret any action...What is holding you back from starting where you are to work toward a different ending? I work to help my clients process relationship difficulties, re-parenting and inner child work, processing of grief and/or trauma, parenting issues, and assist with skill building for neurocognitive disorders. We are created for connection, and I work to provide a space for each of my clients to heal and re-connect.

First I want to say, Congratulations! You have done the first step by reaching out to a therapist. Now, I welcome you to join me in reflecting on your past to lead to your healing. Have you wondered why you feel stuck in a cycle of negative events? Often, it’s caused by a need for healing from the past. I specialize in helping people (individuals and couples) to heal from the trauma of their past and free themselves from negative cycles. This is done by the use of Solution Focused Therapy, as well as a collaboration of other systemic therapeutic models.

Therapy is a collaborative/interactive process that allows you the freedom as well as the privacy to discuss issues that are too painful or difficult to discuss with your family and/or friends. Together, we will explore what brings you distress as well as what brings you relief. Therapy is designed to help empower you to accomplish mental health wellness and treatment goals. For therapy to be most effective, it is imperative that you take an active part in your treatment journey.

Therapy offers an opportunity to heal, learn, discover, and grow into who we want to truly be in this world. The root of most suffering comes from the wounds childhood and lifelong trauma leave behind. So much can happen to us from the womb to who we are today. Therapy provides a journey from who you are to who you want to be. I enjoy working with clients who have goals and desires to work through trauma and problematic symptoms and towards lasting healing and personal growth. Let me help guide you on a healing adventure towards your therapeutic goals.

As a licensed counselor with over a decade of experience in mental health and addiction treatment, my mission is to support you not just in overcoming substance use, but enhancing all aspects of life. Whether you’re working towards a healthier relationship with alcohol, navigating early sobriety, or strengthening your existing recovery program, I’m here to help. Together we can address challenges such as family issues, trauma, and self-sabotage while also cultivating positive aspects like purpose, relationships, and personal goals. Wellbeing, much like a garden, requires more than just removing weeds - you must also nurture growth.

No one wakes up and thinks "I want to become an Addict." Life takes us by surprise sometimes and it often gets messy and confusing, but you don't have to do this alone. Most of my clients are looking to restore areas of their lives stolen by addiction: family, careers, legal, and self-respect. They also seek help finding the root cause of the addiction in order to prevent further damage. Let me help you!

Hello! It's a joy for me to come alongside those courageous enough to ask for help. Sometimes it's embarrassing to ask questions about what’s normal and what isn't -i.e., "Am I a bad parent because my child doesn't listen?" or "Is something wrong with me because my relationships keep failing?" I work to provide an open environment for my clients to both process these questions and find solutions. My ideal client values both their personal and loved ones’ mental health. It's an honor to come alongside adults and children with painful histories and increase healthy options for your future.

Are you and your partner struggling with intimacy? Are physical and/or emotional issues blocking your connection? You can learn to reconnect! I seek to work collaboratively with clients to help them learn new and healthier ways of relating to those around them and gain a greater ability to treat themselves and others with compassion. It takes courage to step into the therapy room; I work to provide a disarming space for clients. My curiosity guides me as I get to know people for who they are and help clients learn to think, feel, and act in new productive ways in order for them to become the people they hope to be.
