CHILD, ADOLESCENT, AND ADULT COUNSELING
I understand reaching out for help takes courage and bravery. I believe that we all need support in our lives to navigate the inevitable difficulties that arise. I hope to create a safe and empathetic space for you as you go through life’s challenges. I have experience working with children and adults who have experienced sexual abuse, partner abuse, grief and loss, and other forms of trauma. My goal as your therapist is to help you to gain confidence as you work through difficult situations. No issue is too big or too small.
I graduated from The University of Memphis with a masters in Clinical Mental Health Counseling in 2017. Since graduating, my clinical experience has included working with children and adults at the Shelby County Crime Victims and Rape Crisis Center, providing group and individual counseling to those who have been impacted by violent crime. I have also worked with clients experiencing anxiety, depression, life transitions, relationship issues, and self-esteem issues.
I utilize several trauma-informed, evidence-based approaches, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Cognitive Processing therapy, Trauma-Focused-Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), and mindfulness techniques. I work from a culturally considerate, LGBTQIA+ affirming perspective. I am a licensed practitioner in the state of TN #5881.
I consider it a great privilege to hear my clients’ stories and walk with them on their journey of hope and healing. I encourage you to book a 15-minute consultation to see if I’m the right fit. I look forward to meeting you!

Navigating an interracial relationship can present unique challenges and opportunities for growth. As a therapist experienced in working with interracial couples, I understand the importance of acknowledging and addressing cultural differences and the impact of societal attitudes. We will build communication skills, cultural competence, and validation techniques in session. Together, we can create a supportive environment where both partners feel heard, respected, and valued, fostering a deeper connection and mutual understanding.
Processing traumatic events can be difficult at any age. I get it. I know you want to move forward, but may struggle with flashbacks, anxiety, depression, and self-esteem. We can work together so you have the skills to cope with the events that have led you here. In my office, you will feel valued and comforted in knowing you have landed with a therapist who values who you truly are and recognizes your strengths. Wherever you are on the journey of overcoming the past, know I will be there to ensure you aren't alone.
I thrive when working with individuals and couples who are looking to find their purpose, explore their identity, establish self-worth/self-esteem, process divorce, heal from abuse (physical, emotional, neglect, & narcissistic), and deeper their connections. In my free time, I love to go to Disney World, try to keep my plants alive, go to spin class, and thrift.
I can't wait to meet you and be a part of your supportive circle.

CHILD, ADOLESCENT, AND ADULT COUNSELING
I have always been a firm believer that what we are aware of, we have the ability to change. I also believe that reaching out for help is a surefire sign of strength and resiliency. With my eclectic approach and clinical skills, I feel that I am able to help children, teens, and young adults meet their needs and bring about the change they are seeking.
I graduated from Henderson State University with a Master of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling in 2021. Since graduating, my clinical experience has included working in residential settings, partial hospitalization, and intensive outpatient settings as well. I have experience working with clients who are struggling with anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, self-esteem/self-acceptance, and social and relationship issues.
I am a big fan of Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), but also incorporate other approaches in my work such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Trauma-Focused CBT, Gestalt therapy, and mindfulness techniques. I am a certified Mindfulness-Informed Professional and I am currently a student at Belmont University where I am learning about effectively integrating spirituality into psychotherapy.

COUPLES AND ADULT COUNSELING
Sometimes we find ourselves enduring things we never imagined we'd be dealing with. In those times we need a place to heal, process, and move through that potential struggle. My time with you is a place to authentically show up as who you are today, and safely meet the person you want to be tomorrow. As your therapist, my goal is to ensure that you feel supported in your journey through healing - whether that’s processing past traumas, navigating current situations, experiencing shifts in identity, or anything else life throws at you. Together, we can collaborate to address these patterns of behavior that feel disruptive in order to give you stronger emotional regulation and contentment in your day-to-day life.
Memphis is my hometown, and I worked at the Shelby County Crime Victims & Rape Crisis Center for six years. In my work with survivors I provided individual and group counseling to victims of crime in our community. In addition to working with trauma, I also have extensive experience working with people struggling with grief, anxiety, depression, relationship issues, self-esteem issues, work-related stressors, burnout, identity issues, and LGBTQ+ stress. In my work with couples, I focus on the relationship as a whole to help both parties recognize differences in communication to strengthen the overall connection. As a queer therapist, it is incredibly important to me to create a space that feels comfortable for all clients, regardless of identity.
My approach is trauma-informed and person-centered, meaning I meet people where they are to help them gain the most effective change from this process. When we experience trauma, the stress remains stored in our bodies, impacting our energy and how we move through the world. Big or small, any distressing incident can leave an imprint of trauma that slowly pulls from your energy, your joy, and your ability to connect with others (and sometimes this happens right under our noses, without our consent). If you’ve had a distressing event that you carry discomfort from, then you deserve a safe space to understand it, release it, and grow. And it would be my honor to make that journey with you. If you think I might be a good fit for you, then please feel free to book a 15-minute consultation!

ADULT COUNSELING
Difficult seasons of life, and the painful emotions that may accompany them, are an inevitable part of the human experience. With therapeutic work, these experiences can serve as great teachers. Through the challenges, we can gain greater self-knowledge, healing, perspective, wisdom, and ultimately deeper peace and joy.
I am a licensed clinical social worker, providing telehealth services, and specializing in the treatment of anxiety, depression, and grief, especially in those experiencing physical health issues or supporting a loved one who is. I have primarily worked in healthcare settings with individuals diagnosed with cancer and/or chronic health issues, caregivers, cancer survivors, those impacted by the unique challenges of aging, and those facing the end of life. All of these scenarios may come with feelings of disappointment, anxiety, fear, depression, anger, body image issues, and physical pain and exhaustion. However, I have also witnessed a deepening of strength, faith, love, joy, peace, meaning, awe, and wonder.
My therapeutic approach is individualized to each person's unique story and goals; it is rooted primarily in mindfulness, cognitive behavioral therapy, and acceptance and commitment therapy. I am dedicated to staying current with evidence-based therapeutic practices that will best serve my clients. Currently, I am in the process of obtaining a certification in Mindfulness-Based Eco-Therapy and utilize this technique to assist individuals connect with nature while simultaneously engaging in healing and growth. I believe you will find my style to be warm, genuine, non-judgmental, and strengths-based.
In my leisure time, I enjoy spending time with my family, taking walks, admiring the natural world and all its beauty, planning adventures to see new places and try new food, reading, and listening to old and new music.
I would be honored to partner with you on your therapeutic journey.

ADOLESCENT AND ADULT COUNSELING (PRACTICE OWNER)
I’ve come to accept that during our lives, at some point (more accurately multiple points), things will fall apart. At these crossroads, we have two options: let it sink and stunt us or courageously navigate through the challenging process of healing. I would argue that there is nothing more valuable than doing deep inner work that transforms our lives for the better. I am a licensed professional counselor and work with older teens and adults experiencing anxiety, depression, stressors that come with life transitions, relationship issues, and self-esteem and identity concerns, among many other difficulties.
I have experience and training in a variety of therapeutic approaches for a range of mental health concerns. While I tailor my work to each client individually, my general approach to therapy is integrative, drawing on psychodynamic/relational, cognitive-behavioral, dialectical-behavioral, inner child, and mindfulness techniques. I am trained in Level 1 of Internal Family Systems Therapy (IFS) and am eager to use my training to assist individuals with a history of childhood and complex trauma.
I desire to help every client reconnect to their true authentic selves and be in complete alignment with their lives.

INDIVIDUAL AND COUPLES COUNSELING (PRACTICE OWNER)
Do you feel like you're in constant conflict with your spouse, a friend, or a family member? Is it hard to express what you want in relationships, and you feel like you keep getting stuck? Relationships, whether with partners, children, family members, or friends, are often the source of our greatest joys and most painful heartaches. You want to enjoy your time with your favorite people. The first step is to understand and cope with your own needs and emotions so that you can learn to clearly express them to your loved ones and feel understood.
I use tools from the Gottman Institute, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and a person-centered approach to help my clients understand themselves and their relationships.
I’m also certified in perinatal mental health and enjoy assisting individuals and couples in navigating the specific challenges that accompany pregnancy, postpartum, infertility, perinatal loss, and new parenthood of all kinds. You and your relationship are at the core of creating a healthy family.
