I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a Master's of Science in Social Work from The University of Tennessee, Knoxville. I have over 13 years of experience helping adults, teens, children and families in the midst of significant life transitions. I have worked within child welfare, family homelessness, psychiatric hospital care, school, and tele-heath settings. In my practice, I help adolescents and adults overcome challenges related to anxiety, depression, stress, trauma and other life issues.
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.
Growing up and transitioning into adulthood, I always felt that I needed a "person". Someone who could be there to support me through the hardships and uncertainties of life. Someone who was unbiased and was there to just listen or to be that shoulder to cry on when I felt like no one in the world would be able to understand me. Being that person that I once needed, is what fueled the desire within to become a therapist.
I am a licensed therapist specializing in anxiety, trauma, addiction and relationship challenges. I work with children, adolescents and adults to create a supportive space where healing and growth feel possible.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Memphis
Searching for therapists in Memphis starts with finding someone whose experience matches what you want support with. Therapists may focus on anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, trauma, or life transitions. As you compare Memphis therapists, look for listed specialties, therapy styles, and populations served. A bio that explains the therapist’s approach can help you understand what sessions may be like and whether their background fits your needs.
In Memphis, your search may include therapists in Midtown, Downtown, Cooper-Young, East Memphis, or nearby areas, along with virtual options across Tennessee. In-person sessions may work well if location, parking, or office setting matters to you. Virtual therapy may fit better if your schedule changes often or you prefer care from home. Beyond specialty, consider appointment availability, whether the therapist is accepting new patients, and whether a free phone consultation is offered. Reading profiles before booking can help you compare communication style, session structure, and areas of focus.
Therapy in Memphis can be a significant cost without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to lower your session cost and understand what you may pay before care begins. Headway helps you search for therapists who match your preferences, accept a wide range of insurance plans, and offer virtual or in-person appointments. You can enter your insurance details, review estimated costs, compare bios, and book directly when you’re ready.
