Couples Counseling Therapists in Chattanooga, TN

Traditional therapy isn’t ideal for entrepreneurial couples and leaders. Here's what I've found. 1. One “drops out” while significant changes are on the horizon. 2. Lack of follow through in between sessions. 3. It can feel lopsided with one experiencing more support than the other. 4. Finding regular time for sessions can be a huge issue. Couples want momentum & real change that lasts.

Are you longing for a space to bring your whole self and know that who you are will be accepted regardless of your unique identity or sexual orientation? Perhaps you are longing for deeper, richer interpersonal relationships but you don't know how to start. Many of us desire safe spaces to explore questions without judgement, coercion, or comparison. You crave the freedom to be your authentic self even if you aren’t quite sure what that looks like just yet.

I have been a clinical social worker for approximately 15 years and I feel honored that my clients share their stories, their dreams and their goals with me. I enjoy working with people of all ages and backgrounds. I tend to work more with depression, anxiety and relationship issues. I would love to discuss with you more about your specific needs.

I partner with individuals who are dealing with issues related to mood or emotions, sleep, chronic pain, trauma, or stress. Understanding that: 1. our minds and bodies are inextricably intertwined (shout out to our incredible Nervous System!), and, 2. there is often an overlap between mood, sleep, trauma, chronic pain, or stress... when we work on one area, it also has benefits in other areas! We leverage the power of these interconnections to help you figure out and move in the direction of what's really important to you in your life.
