About

I am a licensed marital and family therapy, practicing for over 20 years with individuals, families, and in group settings in Tennessee. My specialty is in relationships, yet I worked in many areas of therapy such as managing anxiety and depression, addictive and compulsive behaviors, grief, marital, parenting, person.

I gravitate largely to a System's Theory approach in therapy. I frequently use CBT, Solution-Focused, Psychoeducation, and Motivational Interviewing. Together these models combined avoids placing blame on others, looking at the motivation for the issue, and practical strategies for change. I view my role in therapy as a coach or partner to walk beside others through the trenches in life.

I am a lover of writing and painting. Although my expertise is not in art therapy, I enjoy integrating creative outlets into therapy.
