Our therapists offer christian counseling in Memphis, TN

I am a licensed professional counselor with a mental health service provider designation (LPC-MHSP) with 14 years of experience supporting adults through stress, relationship concerns, emotional challenges, and major life transitions. My approach is practical, compassionate, and grounded in evidence-based care. I help clients strengthen self-awareness, build resilience, and create meaningful change at a pace that feels safe and empowering.

I earned my master’s degree in clinical mental health counseling from Mercer University. My work integrates cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness-based methods, solution-focused strategies, and a person-centered approach. I tailor treatment to each individual’s needs to support clarity, balance, and long-term well-being.

I believe you deserve a space where you feel heard, supported, and understood. Together, we will explore what’s holding you back, build practical tools for relief, and move toward the changes you want to create. If you’re ready to take the next step, I’m here to help you move forward with confidence and intention.
