I am licensed in Tennessee with 18 years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, relationship issues, trauma, abuse, and depression. I believe that you are the expert of your story and that you have many qualities that will assist you in overcoming things that challenge you. Taking the first step to sign up for therapy takes courage and I am proud of you for getting started!
I believe that all of us have suffered from feeling that we are not in control of our lives. When that experience persists, then our instinct to protect ourselves can push us into patterns of behavior that range from bad habits to behavior that damages relationships and threatens our physical and mental health. I help people by focusing on their strengths rather than their weaknesses, to build supportive relationships with themselves and others, and to help them see themselves as unique and worthwhile persons. We do this together through a therapeutic relationship.
Additional areas of focus: Family conflicts, Grief, Parenting issues, Anger management, Self esteem, Bipolar disorder, Coaching, Compassion fatigue, Adoption and foster care, Attachment issues, Blended family issues, Co-morbidity, Communication problems, Disruptive Mood Dysregulation Disorder (DMDD), Dissociation, Forgiveness, Guilt and shame, Impulsivity, Men's issues, Mood disorders, Panic disorder and panic attacks, Post-traumatic stress

Bruce is a highly competent intuitive and empathetic therapist. He is a great listener. He also gives suggestions and tools to assist with learning and life growth. I have grown as a person and I am grateful for his part in this chapter of my life journey.

Bruce asks all the righty questions and has shown he is an active listener. I feel heard when I talk to him, and he helps guide me to the answers I need.
