Family Therapy in Knoxville, TN

Accepting new clients! Are you finding you and your partner arguing often, living as roommates, walking on eggshells, or all of the above? This can be very lonely and feel like a great love lost. Avoiding the root of these conflicts can continue negative cycles and lead to resentment, and relationship exhaustion. I use the "gold standard" of couples therapy to help couples understand their negative pattern, become aware of how to change it, and begin to cradle each other in conflict instead of turning away.

I see individuals ages 8-26. I offer individual and family therapy sessions. My sessions are very unique in that I allow a place for kiddos to be kiddos. My favorite part of my job is when a client tells me, "I never thought therapy could be like this." or "This makes so much sense." Kiddos are in a state of development that can be either extremely scary or exciting. What makes the difference is when they and loved ones understand this process on a cognitive, emotional, and physiological level. Then behaviors and responses become more clear and how to handle them becomes more effective.
