Life can be so hard. I know that it takes great courage to ask for help. I consider it one of the greatest honors of my life to be able to walk alongside people in the midst of their struggles through the field of counseling. I received my Bachelor's in Psychology and Master's in Professional Counseling at Liberty University. I spent 5 years counseling female and male college students surrounding numerous struggles. I then counseled in a private practice setting for 2 years and saw adolescents through senior adults. I have nearly 3000 clinical face-to-face hours counseling people in need. I have helped clients with Anxiety Disorders, Depression, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, Eating Disorders, Trauma, Spiritual Concerns, Adjustment Disorders, Relationship Conflict, and Family Issues. I typically include a combination of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Therapy, Attachment Therapy, and/or Emotion Focused Therapy to enter into a client’s story. I assess the depth of pain and impact the client’s history has had on one's current affect, thought processes, and relationships. I then utilize various tools to help clients continue to move forward in forming healthier behaviors, emotional responses, self-talk, and relationships. My goal is to empower the client to make decisions that lead to a hope filled future.

Hey, I think it’s time for a deep breath! The more we chase speculation the more we turn those things into a mental drain. Most of us just need to slow things down and relax, to let our natural gifts come to the surface. Sometimes the assets in our toolboxes get a little rusty. I can help you re-discover them for current and upcoming challenging scenarios. For over 25 years my client base has encompassed individuals, couples, and families in a number of diverse areas. I have counseled in homes, organizations, schools, places of worship, and the military. Ten years of international experience allows me to assess relationships from a variety of diverse angle. I prefer to work with my clients in the present and future. It was Winston Churchill’s wife that said “ You are strong because you are imperfect, you are wise because you have doubts.” So being imperfect and having doubts is important. I'd like to think I’m practical and motivating, with a dash of humor. I want to let you know my hours in advance, no surprises. I'm available Monday - Friday in the am at 6, 7, 8, 9, 10. And in the pm at 1, 2, 3, 4 (CDT time zone). House-cleaning tips: My clients set their own day/times with the BetterHelp Scheduler, Better Help asks you a number of questions when you fill out your profile. Please answer all of them - otherwise it can delay our first session getting off to a good start. Reminders: I don't do "live chat therapy," we can talk briefly between sessions though on challenging issues that pop up. I also don't do A&D or domestic violence challenges - something best handled in a face to face setting with a qualified person. The first session for me always goes best when I'm not forwarded multiple large blocks of text, phone textings, etc in advance. Those things will all be played out once we get started . MOST IMPORTANT, on the first session - the use of a firehose strategy doesn’t work out for the both of us. You know the firehose – info bombarding because you want to get me up to date, an emotionally charged dump of data that I can’t keep up with – a waste of the first session. I need you to entrust your case to me - everything will come to the surface soon; but there’s a method for that. To me the first session is important - the last thing I want to do is waste our time. I look forward to talking with you!

Greetings! I am a licensed professional counselor in Tennessee with 18+ years of mental health with a doctorate in psychology from Saybrook University and a master’s degree in counseling from Villanova University. I have experience working with adults with a wide range of issues including depression, anxiety, PTSD, ADHD, and who have experienced emotional, physical, and/or sexual abuse. Clients grappling with issues pertaining to spirituality, faith, meaning, and purpose may find my approach helpful. My knowledge of psychology, and of Eastern and Western philosophy and religions, assists me in meeting clients where they are in their journey to wholeness and well-being. I have published two books, both with a focus on the Transcendent Psyche (Soul), and my model of realizing the Higher Self within. My 15+ years in human resources management in major corporations in Texas and Pennsylvania provides me with extensive workplace knowledge and the ability to help clients maneuver through the high stress work environment today. I provide individual therapy for both adult men and women utilizing my knowledge of the cognitive, emotional, and relational differences between men and women. Male and female clients have similar situations, but oftentimes have different internal experiences and different perspectives as individuals and within intimate relationships which creates conflict Helping guide them to insights and strategies which can lead to a more harmonious, healthier relationship is my goal. My therapeutic approach: My approach is client-centered with a psychodynamic element, with an understanding that most of life’s deepest challenges stem from childhood wounds which may be unconscious or conscious. Understanding the bio-psychosocial aspect of mental health is also important for it is the mind-body connection which underpins our psyche. My knowledge of Jungian theory, Attachment theory, and the stages of personal growth outlined by Abraham Maslow and the psychosocial stages by Erikson, all inform my work with clients. Overall, I focus on client goals and removing obstacles to meet those goals. My therapist style: The basis of trust between therapist and client relies on a therapist who provides a safe environment in which the client can be heard, seen, understood, without judgment, and disclose intimate matters, so they can be their authentic and natural self. My passion is to help my clients navigate life’s challenges, traumas, and difficult situations, so they can heal and experience more inner peace and healthier, happier relationships with loved ones, friends, and at work.
