Hi! I'm so glad you're here. I have been a LPC-MHSP in TN for over 2 years, and have a long history of mental health training and experience prior to that. I have lived all over - Guam, NE, CO, IL - and bring my love for learning and connecting with people to each aspect of my life. With curiosity and empathy I have been able to grow my professional experiences to include practicing in community mental health settings, inpatient hospitals, collaborative care environments, and now in private practice. I enjoy the freedom and autonomy in which private practice offers, as it allows me to meet each client where they are and adjust our treatment goals as needed.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an Addiction Therapist in Memphis
Searching for addiction therapists in Memphis starts with finding someone whose experience matches the type of support you want. Addiction care can include support for alcohol use, drug use, sexual behavior concerns, gambling, or other behavioral patterns. Some therapists use motivational interviewing, cognitive behavioral therapy for substance use, or harm reduction-informed approaches. If medication may be part of your care, you may also want a psychiatrist or other prescriber on your care team.
Memphis has a range of addiction therapists, but the right fit depends on more than specialty. Consider whether you prefer in-person sessions near your neighborhood or virtual appointments that widen your options across Tennessee. Look for therapists who are accepting new patients, offer appointment times that fit your schedule, and clearly describe their approach to addiction recovery. Reading therapist bios can help you see whether they use a direct, nonjudgmental style and have experience with the concerns you want to address.
Addiction therapy in Memphis can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before you book. Headway helps you find addiction therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, show available appointment times, and offer profile details that make comparing fit easier. You can browse therapists, review bios, and book directly when you’re ready.
If you or someone you know is experiencing severe withdrawal symptoms — especially from alcohol or benzodiazepines — talk to a medical provider or seek emergency care before starting outpatient therapy. If you or someone you know is struggling with addiction or substance use and is in a crisis, immediately reach out to:
* 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline — call or text 988 * SAMHSA National Helpline — 1-800-662-HELP (4357), free, confidential, 24/7 * Crisis Text Line — text HOME to 741741
If you're already taking psychiatric medication and considering switching providers, talk to your current prescriber before changing or stopping any medication — most psychiatric medications shouldn't be stopped abruptly. Anyone experiencing thoughts of self-harm or in acute crisis should call 988 or go to the nearest emergency department rather than wait for an outpatient appointment.
