Sometimes your mind understands what’s happened, but your body still holds the impact. I’m trained in EMDR and Brainspotting, approaches that help gently process those deeper layers. My work integrates mindfulness and somatic awareness to support nervous system regulation, so change doesn’t just feel intellectual, it feels real, grounded, and lasting.
I have spent the last seven years working with various individuals working through issues with substance abuse, depression, anxiety, sexuality/gender issues, as well as communication within relationships

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 was born and raised in Montana and have a genuine passion for nature and the outdoors. I received my Bachelors in Psychology at Montana State University in 2001. I then pursued my Masters of Social Work degree and graduated in 2008 from the University of Montana. This graduate program had a focus on providing a social justice and integrated practitioner perspective. I have an eclectic style that can be tailored to each unique individual. My primary therapeutic methods include Mindfulness Based, Holistic, Exposure, Narrative, Cognitive and Behavioral, Strengths Based & Solution Focused Therapies. I provide a non-judgmental and compassionate environment that often helps people feel comfortable. A true passion of mine is structuring therapeutic activities for clients to express, process, increase self-awareness, and de-stress from life’s challenging and developmental experiences.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an LGBTQIA Therapist in Memphis
Finding LGBTQIA+ therapists in Memphis starts with identifying someone who offers identity-affirming care and has experience with your specific needs. You may be looking for support with identity, family or relationship concerns, anxiety, depression, trauma, or life transitions. As you compare therapists, look for bios that mention affirmative therapy, WPATH training, gender-diverse experience, or work with LGBTQIA+ communities. These details can help you find a therapist whose training, specialties, and approach align with the care you want.
In a mid-size city like Memphis, affirming therapists may vary by neighborhood, office location, and availability. Virtual appointments can expand your options beyond the closest office while still giving you access to licensed therapists in Tennessee. As you narrow your search, consider whether a therapist is accepting new patients, offers appointment times that fit your schedule, and provides a free phone consultation. Reading profiles can also help you understand how a therapist describes their communication style, what populations they work with, and what to expect in a first session.
Therapy in Memphis can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network coverage is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Headway helps you search for LGBTQIA+-affirming therapists, enter your insurance details, and see your estimated out-of-pocket cost before you book. Headway helps you compare therapists by specialty, availability, appointment format, and insurance fit, making it easier to find someone who matches your needs, may be a fit for your insurance, and is ready to take new patients.
