About
As a person from multiple marginalized communities, my work is grounded in both clinical expertise and lived experience, which helps clients feel respected, understood, and supported.
I am a licensed professional counselor (LPC) with 20 years of experience providing culturally responsive, evidence-based mental health care. I work with adults navigating anxiety, depression, stress, life transitions, and emotional challenges. My approach is practical and collaborative, and I value working with individuals who are engaged, consistent, and motivated in their therapeutic process.
I earned my master’s degree in counseling from the University of Memphis. My work integrates cognitive behavioral therapy, trauma-informed care, and strength-based approaches. I focus on skill-building strategies while also exploring patterns and experiences that influence current thoughts, emotions, and behaviors.
Therapy is a space for growth, clarity, and meaningful change. If you are seeking practical tools, steady support, and a counselor who will walk alongside you, I am here to help. Together, we can work toward building the change you have been hoping for, one step at a time.

Grief and loss counseling helps people grieve difficult losses including the death of a loved one, the loss of a job, or the end of a relationship. It helps people navigate their grief process and eventually accept, understand, and move forward from their loss. Thriveworks grief therapists in Memphis, TN have specific experience, training, and skills that enable them to best support grieving individuals.
Grief and loss counseling isn’t one-size-fits-all, but it involves sharing about your loss and then working with your counselor to acknowledge and accept your new reality in its wake. Your provider at Thriveworks in Memphis, TN will design your treatment plan around your unique needs and goals for therapy, applying the counseling techniques that best support them.
If you have recently experienced an event like the death of a loved one, a breakup or divorce, the loss of a job, or another major life change, then you may want to seek grief and loss counseling. Grief can be caused by many experiences and events, so if you feel that you are having trouble moving on from a certain event or find that it is still impacting your life and functioning, grief and loss counseling can help you process it more effectively so that you can move on and once again find fulfillment and satisfaction in your life.
There are many counseling theories for treating grief, one of the most frequently used being the dual process model of grief which helps people acknowledge who or what they’ve lost through rumination while also adjusting to the new roles and identities that this loss has now placed on them. There are also many commonly used therapy approaches used in grief and loss counseling, including Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), Acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), and traumatic grief therapy.
Grief & loss counseling at Thriveworks is conducted both in person and online by video. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.
For many, grief and loss counseling lasts for about 6 months. For others, it may last shorter or longer, depending on the severity of their loss and their grief.
