Trauma and PTSD Therapists in Memphis, TN

In this life, we are faced with many challenges such as feeling stuck, unmotivated, unaccomplished goals, trauma, life transitions, etc. I am committed to supporting you through those challenges while finding solutions to change that narrative. My goal is to create an environment tailored to YOU! Your comfort and outcome is top priority.

I believe the therapeutic relationship is an organic experience that cannot be created elsewhere. My experience has shown me that each of us walks our own path and that no two are the same. Having support while walking your path can be just the thing to make the difference. I strive to provide safety so that you can talk about your life, your family, your pain, and sit in the tension to ultimately begin living more authentically. I work from a holistic approach; given that, we will develop the best course of treatment for your needs, together.

Clients come to therapy for a variety of reasons. They may need help adjusting to a new job, transitioning to a new city, communicating with a family member, or building self-confidence. They want to do these things in a timely manner. They want to live a fulfilling life. Maybe nothing is going on currently and they want to explore past events.

I am committed to helping my clients build resilience and work towards resolution and healing. I understand that mental health is a unique and personal journey for each individual, and I use a variety of modalities to create the best approach for each client. I believe in validation and curiosity in my therapeutic approach, while also helping my clients to do hard things and challenge themselves to create a more joyful and meaningful life. I work with adults, teens, children, and families, and have experience in helping individuals navigate a range of mental health concerns.

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 ideal client is ready to discover, change, and grow. They are willing to work towards the life they want to live and who they want to be.

I am a a licensed clinical social worker with over 15 years of experience as a therapist and leader. I have extensive experience in helping clients with historical trauma, parenting and the postpartum period, stress, depression, anxiety, relationships, grief, and loss. My counseling approach emphasizes non-judgment and building rapport as critical to success in working with my clients. I absolutely believe that you are the expert on your own story and I can walk with you to assist you in making the changes you want to make.

Do you feel overwhelmed, lost, burned out, or disconnected from yourself and those around you? So many of us face challenges like depression, anxiety, chronic health issues, and relationship difficulties that are rooted in trauma. If life feels like too much or you feel trapped without a clear way out, know that you don’t have to face this journey on your own. You are already taking the brave first step to get help! Together, we can uncover hope and move toward a brighter and more meaningful future. In our sessions, you'll find clarity, peace, and a renewed sense of connection with yourself, others, and the world around you.

My diverse background has equipped me with the skills to work with individuals struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, disordered eating, life transitions, and multi-cultural/inter-generational issues. With a genuine passion for supporting healing and personal growth, I offer a safe and compassionate space where you can share your story without fear of judgment.

This is what I believe, love God and love people and people today are indescribably busy. Busy with family, work, social schedules, social media...just keeping up with life and with all that there is little time for the individual who is often left exhausted, feeling lonely, isolated perhaps unseen. To me, loving people means meeting them where they are so they can be seen and heard. Also, I am a retired law enforcement officer of 25 years and as such I understand the unique needs of first responders, and have experience working with emergency services personnel and family members of emergency responders.

Brené Brown once said, "Let go of who you think you're supposed to be. Embrace who you are." I would love to walk with you on this journey of embracing who you are as an individual, and who you want to become. Healing is never easy, but you will never have to do it alone. I have a huge passion for seeing people heal and grow into the person they didn’t feel they could become. I strive to create a safe space for anyone who takes the courageous step to share their story with me, as I know this is not an easy ask from anyone.

Many experiences in life can motivate us to look for support―a difficult current or past relationship, overwhelming stress, unprocessed trauma, or maybe just a sense of being stuck. You aren't alone. My hope is that you find in me a nonjudgmental, caring presence to listen and help you process whatever pain or disconnection you might be experiencing. My aim is to guide you toward the wholeness you seek.

I work with clients that present with a variety of issues - depression, anxiety, addiction - often stemming from underlying issues with codependency, low self-worth, family of origin issues, and unresolved trauma. I see individuals, couples, and adolescents. If appropriate, I like working with clients in a group setting where peer support and identification with others help clients feel less misunderstood, alone or different.

Do you find yourself struggling with life’s current and past stressors- relationships, life transitions, work, family? Therapy is a place to engage in growth and change by stripping away the layers to reveal your authentic self.

People start therapy with a desire for change. Something innate reminds them that they could live differently. That feeling is always there; now you are here and ready to listen. My goal is to help you discover yourself, your needs, your desires, and necessary changes. Is there grief that is hard to flow through you? Is it depression that weighs heavily on you, anxiety that overwhelms you, trauma that constantly reminds you, or something that you are afraid to release? We will work to examine and release these challenges, so you can navigate this world in a healthy, fulfilling way, and start living differently.

Many of the people that I meet in my practice are feeling "stuck" in some area of life - they can't seem to get traction in making change happen. Addictions, co-dependence, anxiety, depression, anger, poor self-image, lack of assertiveness, lack of closeness in relationships, and struggles with getting past major life traumas are many of the issues we focus on in sessions.

I work with adults facing challenges related to trauma, addiction, and attachment issues. Whether you’re struggling with past experiences, seeking recovery, or navigating relationship dynamics, I’m here to support you.

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.
