I have had a wide variety of clinical experience working with clients through trauma and PTSD, depression, anxiety, neurodivergent stress, life transitions and existential stress, and work/life/school stress. Additionally, I have worked with client presentations and experiences including multicultural, LGBTQIA+, and other identity considerations and related stress including internalized oppression, working through impacts from sexual assault, combat trauma, and other trauma responses, as well as many un-categorized experiences of clients that affect their inner and external worlds. I use several evidence-based practices (e.g., Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Processing Therapy) as well as integrating these and other therapies within less structured (or more structured!) treatment.

In life, we all experience the tension of joy and pain, mountain tops and valleys. As human beings, built for relationship, we need others alongside us in that journey. Sometimes we need a little extra professional help to walk through particularly painful or confusing seasons. I would love to partner with you if you find yourself in one of these seasons, or if you just need some support along the way. You don't have to go it alone, there is always hope. If you find yourself in a place that feels stuck or hope feels difficult to find, feel free to reach out to me- I'd love to connect with you and talk about what you are needing, and how I can help!

College can be a stressful, but rewarding experience. Do you sometimes feel like you don't quite fit in? Do you feel emotionally unprepared at times and honestly, a little awkward? You're not alone, and I want to help you through this journey. If you feel anxious, sad, or that you lack confidence in your abilities, allow me the opportunity to help you through these problems in a virtual therapy environment. You can attend therapy right from your dorm room, in between classes, or wherever and whenever you choose. If you are supporting students, you matter too! I would love to work with you to be your best self.

I use various techniques from different types of therapies but I am most drawn to Dialectical Behavioral There (DBT) at this time.

Licensed Mental Health Counselor
Memphis, TN

I aim to create an environment that helps people feel comfortable working through issues, without fear of judgment or bias. I use a productive client-centered approach with cognitive-behavioral interventions that are balanced, earnest, and comprehensive. Potential goals of therapy are to help couples develop emotional attunement, establish an individual identity, or discover new depths of connection. I also work with adults seeking support for depression, anxiety, grief, sobriety, marriage and family issues, premarital counseling, and general life transitions.

I work best with students who are struggling to get things done in systems that weren’t built for their minds. You may be neurodivergent, dealing with burnout or procrastination, or feeling stuck despite caring deeply about your work. I also love helping students form their own identity, especially those who feel culturally different or come from diverse backgrounds. Many of the students I work with are carrying stress or past experiences that still show up in the present, and we make space for that at a pace that feels safe. Our work is practical and supportive, with room for both skill-building and the heavier stuff you don’t always get to talk about.
