Family therapy and counseling in Memphis, TN

With over 43 years of experience, I am passionate about helping individuals, adolescents, and couples navigate life’s challenges. I specialize in working with clients facing anxiety, depression, divorce, grief, trauma, school-related concerns, parenting challenges, and relationship issues. My approach is grounded in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), combined with a truth-filled Christian perspective, fostering strength, resilience, and hope.

I believe in treating every client with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. Through a non-judgmental, supportive, and honest approach, I empower individuals to overcome obstacles and work toward a peaceful, meaningful, and purpose-filled life.

For more than 20 years, I’ve had the privilege of walking alongside individuals, couples, and families as they work toward healing, growth, and change. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Licensed Clinical Addiction Counselor, and Substance Abuse Professional, I bring both deep clinical knowledge and a compassionate, down-to-earth approach to therapy.

I specialize in helping clients navigate life’s most personal challenges—including relationship and intimacy concerns, life transitions, grief and loss, trauma, and mental health struggles. I also provide substance abuse treatment, DOT/SAP evaluations, and recovery support using evidence-based approaches such as CBT, DBT, Motivational Interviewing, Reality Therapy, Trauma-Focused CBT, the Duluth Model, and the Matrix Model.

I have a special commitment to serving Black communities, LGBTQIA+ individuals, people living with HIV, re-entry populations, sex workers, and youth facing challenges. I understand how personal, cultural, and systemic factors shape each person’s story, and I create a safe, affirming space where clients feel truly seen and heard.

In our sessions, you can expect a respectful, judgment-free environment where your voice matters. I believe therapy works best as a partnership—we’ll set goals together, explore what’s holding you back, and develop practical strategies you can use in daily life a more fulfilling life. Whether you’re seeking support for a specific issue or simply want to invest in your personal growth, I’m here to help you take that next step.

I’m a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with nearly 20 years of experience supporting individuals through life’s challenges, relationship concerns, and major transitions. Reaching out for therapy can feel vulnerable, and I strive to create a warm, welcoming space where you can feel heard, understood, and accepted.

I work with adults experiencing anxiety, communication difficulties, relationship concerns, divorce and separation, life transitions, family-of-origin patterns, and the impact of addiction or problematic alcohol use on relationships and families. I also enjoy working with individuals who want to reconnect, improve communication, rebuild trust, or better understand the patterns that keep them feeling stuck.

My approach is compassionate, practical, solution-focused, and tailored to your unique needs. I draw from Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Gottman Method principles, cognitive-behavioral strategies, solution-focused therapy, and family systems perspectives. Together, we’ll explore what is happening, identify your strengths and goals, and develop meaningful, achievable steps toward change.

Therapy can be a place to speak openly without judgment while gaining tools to feel more confident, connected, and hopeful. Whether you’re navigating a difficult transition, feeling stuck in old patterns, or hoping to build healthier relationships, I’m here to support you as you move forward.

Early in my own journey, a mentor taught me a lesson that changed my life: true growth happens when we stop looking at everyone else and finally have the courage to look in the mirror. That shift is where real freedom begins, and it’s exactly what I want to help you achieve. My goal is to create a safe, judgement free space where you can bring your most authentic self. While I warmly welcome clients of all ages and backgrounds, my primary passion lies in supporting African American youth and young adults as they navigate early life challenges.

I work with people who feel stuck and are ready for change. Whether you’re facing stress, relationship issues, past hurts, or life transitions, I’m here to help you navigate what feels overwhelming. I’ve provided counseling to adults, youth, and couples in both community mental health and private practice. I’m licensed in Georgia and Florida and bring over 20 years of experience to our work together.
