Hi there! I am a counselor who works with clients ages 13+ and am skilled in treating anxiety, depression, trauma, body image, self-esteem, anger management, and transition issues. I also have specialized training and experience working with older adults with dementia and other cognitive and age-related changes. Additionally, I see teenagers and adults of all ages who identify as LGBTQIA+ and am well-versed in helping clients who are questioning their identities, beginning the coming-out process, and/or transitioning. I am included as a recommended specialist for transgender mental health in the local OUTMemphis Resource Guide.

My approach is heavily informed by Feminist and Queer theories. I like to approach therapy with the ultimate goal of helping clients feel safe to explore their needs and wants from a stance of empowerment. We will utilize empathy, authenticity, creativity, and humor to create a warm atmosphere where we will work through past issues, productively plan for the future, and encounter ourselves honestly.
