Therapists in Memphis, TN
Developing your personal and relational identity is the top focus of the therapy I provide. My goal as your provider is to help you reach your full potential for growth and happiness. I help those who are experiencing gender dysphoria, sexuality concerns, mood disturbance, anxiety issues, behavioral issues, trauma survivors, and those who are self-harming or suicidal reconnect with whom they are essentially. I believe it is imperative to identify and examine systemic, environmental, and community influences that may be thwarting your growth and decrease self-blame for factors outside your control.

Today you took the first step in seeking help and that is a brave thing. I am honored to be one of the people you are thinking about. I believe greatly in the whole body and mind approach as well as the whole system approach. Healing is found in many arenas and therapy is a dress rehearsal for life. There a million reasons we need to get support through therapy! Relationship conflict or the end of a relationship, stress from work, anxieties of parenting, adjusting to big life changes like changing jobs or graduating college. Having a place that its all about you can be invaluable.

I can help you navigate these things piece by piece and get you on the road to your best self. Therapy can help you develop a new perspective and coping skills to manage your life stressors.

Being a teenager and a young-adult in a post-pandemic world is hard. Add in anxiety, up and down moods, problems with focus and prioritizing, or relationship conflicts and it can feel overwhelming, impossible, and like things will never get better. Not only do we have typical day-to-day concerns like figuring out who we are and what we want to be, but we may be struggling with perfectionism, communicating, taking things personally, making friends, or getting along better with our parents. The loneliness of feeling misunderstood and not knowing what to do is crippling.

Do you feel stressed and overwhelmed? Are you walking around suffering in silence? Do you keep everything that's bothering you bottled up on the inside? Does your exterior self-appear to be strong but your interior self-feel weak? Are you showing up for everyone else but struggle to show up for yourself? Are you a worrier? Do you feel like you’re in this world alone? Are you ready to Exhale? If so, put yourself first and give yourself permission to unlearn some things that you have learned, get familiar with the unfamiliar, and get uncomfortable with being comfortable.

Think you’ll never recover from your trauma? Feel exhausted and constantly triggered? Painful or tragic experiences can get stuck on replay in our heads. After something like that (childhood/adult abuse, fire, flood, tornado grief, etc) we change the way we see the other people, the world in general but especially how we see ourselves. It all gets twisted. And there are ways to untwist the impact of trauma. I am sometimes away with American Red Cross volunteering in Disaster Mental Health.

There are so many people who believe they are defective or fear rejection if they talk about their struggles. One of the first things I ask people about is what they need to feel safe. Vulnerability is not a skill we've all been taught, but a huge ingredient in the healing process! I aim to work at a gentle/appropriate pace and tailor therapy to YOU. On top of that, I will regularly check-in on how you perceive your progress/time in therapy. If you are someone who is curious and eager (or simply just fed up with where you're at!), feel free to reach out. All are welcome in my space no matter their stories.

Take this in - you are having trouble sleeping, the stress is piling on, you are struggling to find your sense of purpose, all while waiting for the next curve ball to come your way. Rather than taking an aimless approach, why don't you take the first step and discover your own meaning and consider tackling a specific difficulty or taking one step at a time.

Anxiety and depression can hold you back because fear can stop you from making the positive change needed for creating harmony and peace in your life. I provide a confidential, non-judgmental, and accepting environment to process the influences of family patterns, personal history, and social expectations that may or may not match your authentic inner self. Together, we will find effective strategies to manage the causes of your anxiety so that you may experience inner peace, harmony, and self-confidence. I use a mindfulness-based approach to empower people as they engage in self-discovery or work through interpersonal conflict.

::You do not have to be good. You do not have to walk on your knees for a hundred miles through the desert repenting. You only have to let the soft animal of your body love what it loves. {excerpt from Mary Oliver’s Wild Geese):: When seeking help, the therapeutic relationship is where it all starts. My desire is to offer a safe, non-judgmental, compassionate foundation for each person I share space with. I want you to believe, as much as I do, in your own inherent resilience and capacity to self- heal.

Poet Maya Angelou wrote: "There is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside you". Opening oneself is a courageous and vulnerable act and I want you to know that I will provide you a space to explore at your own pace, and a place to feel known, heard and accepted as you journey in your healing. As part of the process I help you identify and foster your strengths while allowing you to explore your personal path to healing. I utilize talk as well as expressive arts therapies to meet your unique needs and comfort level.

I use my training as a Clinical Psychologist along with humor, compassion and experiential knowledge. I work with adults who want to make life changes. Frequently, I work with people in crisis, addressing acute depression, panic or grief. We can't change the past but we can change self defeating patterns or relationships in the present. I also work with people who have suffered abuse to live as survivors, not victims.

Life presents us with many unexpected challenges that can leave us feeling hurt, lonely, anxious and stressed. Maybe you are struggling with insecurity, uncertainty or a lack of direction. In times of distress, it can be difficult to share with anyone, let alone someone you’ve never met. Building a relationship is the most important step in the counseling process and hinges on empathy, respect and safety within the therapy office. Healing happens when we feel fully accepted while being vulnerable and authentic. This can only be achieved through a strong therapeutic alliance. In this space, you will be welcomed, heard and supported.

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. If you have a Christian background, I can help you become stronger in your faith. Executive Coaching available. I just published a book: I3 (cubed): Unlock the Inner Strength Behind Your Negative Emotions. Google my name on Amazon!

When it comes to working with clients, I believe that it can sometimes become difficult for anyone to truly accomplish tough obstacles or identify exactly what it is that is causing their triggers. Even when those triggers are identified, they still may not know how to manage those challenges. Many times they are unable to express themselves or even communicate what is actually going on in that moment. My belief is that a successful outcome in therapy requires awareness, consistency, but most importantly, the courage to ask for help.
