I have 30yrs of experience in meditation based psychology that can draw from EMDR, somatic and depth psychology, neurobiology, Jungian sand tray, parts work, and spirituality or religion to help you heal your brain, body & spirit. I love to help clients who have had therapy or have been doing their own self-help work and are at a “stuck” point or are looking for answers beyond just traditional talk therapy.

I also help couples be more present using Meditation.

I lead a group of specialists that help couples pull out of negative patterns of conflict and distress so they can become closer and more connected to one another. We understand that our need for secure connection is wired in us and when we can't feel connected in our most important relationships, it causes great distress. If it seems you are arguing over petty things, or feel distant and withdrawn, if your sexual connection isn't what it used to be or you are feeling like roommates, we can help create the safety needed to explore the underlying issues at the core so you can experience a loving, secure bond with one another.

If you are a stranger to your own life, plagued by depression or anxiety, or feel that there is an emptiness to your career, spiritual life, art form, or relationships, there is always a path toward self-knowledge and renewal. So many of us grapple with the effects of an inauthentic life—a life in which our souls are wearing ill-fitting clothes—and instead of providing ourselves with proper care, we tug on that costume day after day and continue to perform even as our true selves wither from within. This is not a sustainable way to live, and my goal is to help you live authentically.

I have been in professional psychological practice since 1979, been married many years, raised 2 children and shared in raising 3 step-children, so I have many years of clinical and personal experience on which to draw. However, I am always learning and growing, and enjoy sharing the journey of self-discovery with my clients/patients. I tailor my psychological treatment with individuals (adults, adolescents, and children), couples, and families to each person's unique situation. I utilize a variety of different treatment approaches, depending on the problems presented, ranging from cognitive-behavioral, insight, family systems, to supportive reality therapy.

Many of my clients also have a lot of knowledge about both themselves and mental health and still find themselves stuck in the same patterns. I am a big nerd about human behavior and I want to get curious with you to break out of these cycles. I especially love helping individuals, couples, and families improve their communication, reconnect, and build healthier relationships. I also have experience working with a wide range of concerns, including anxiety, depression, ADHD, PTSD, addiction, and gender and sexuality issues.

I believe therapy should feel like a safe and supportive space—one where you can explore your thoughts and emotions without judgment and begin to build a deeper connection with yourself and others.

My approach is grounded in empathy, collaboration, and a deep respect for each client's unique story.

My ideal clients are professionals in demanding careers large and small business who are struggling with trauma, anxiety, grief, or loss while trying to maintain high performance. They come to me overwhelmed by triggers, nightmares, and intrusive thoughts that disrupt their sleep, cloud their thinking, and drain their energy. What they want is relief from the constant fight/flight response that's affecting their work, relationships, and quality of life. Their goal is to function optimally again—to think clearly, sleep peacefully, and feel confident in both personal and professional settings while building a more meaningful future.

I see the counseling process as a path towards healing and hopefulness. I offer virtual counseling sessions for clients in the state of Tennessee. I work well with clients who are developing coping skills, working through trauma, and experiencing anxiety, stress, depression. I believe that counseling should be used as an early intervention to help support people who are struggling with their emotional and mental wellness. If we utilize counseling throughout our lifetime and during times of either difficulty, trauma, grief, and relationship challenges it can increase our quailty of life and enhance our wellbeing.

As a sex therapist, I specialize in treating sexual issues. These often include relationship challenges and sexual problems such as lack of desire/low libido, difficulty with arousal, premature ejaculation and trouble reaching orgasm.

Clients benefit from exploring issues surrounding sexual orientation, gender identity, asexuality, polyamory and kink. I am passionate about helping clients overcome the issues that affect their sexuality so that they more fully enjoy life.

Imago Therapists
How does Imago therapy work?
Imago relationship therapy is a form of couples counseling meant to help partners address conflict, communication problems, and related issues. Imago sessions typically involve couples sitting facing each other and participating in guided conversations. Therapy will also involve exercises such as re-imagining one’s partner as a wounded child; re-romanticizing a relationship through appreciation, surprises, and even gift-giving and restructuring frustrations by transforming complaints into requests. The ultimate goal is to re-envision the relationship as a source of safety and happiness.
What is the Imago method?
A core technique of Imago therapy is the Imago dialogue, in which partners learn to avoid hurtful statements and establish ways to interact based on each having equal space and power. In the dialogue, partners take turns as the “sender,” who shares their thoughts, and the “receiver.” The receiver is asked to “mirror,” or paraphrase, what their partner has said, without response or rebuttal, and then validate their statements, acknowledging understanding even if they do not personally agree with it. Finally, the receiver displays empathy by stating what they imagine the other is feeling, and showing appreciation for it.
How long does Imago therapy take?
As with most forms of talk therapy, there is no set duration or end point for Imago therapy. After becoming comfortable with a therapist and the core techniques of Imago coaching, some couples quickly make progress, but most should expect sessions to extend for months, encompassing at least 12 to 20 sessions, along with extensive “homework” from their therapist.
Does Imago therapy work?
There is limited empirical evidence to support the benefits of Imago therapy, but some smaller studies suggest that it does help couples, at least in the short-term. A 2017 study found that marital satisfaction increased significantly after couples completed 12 sessions of Imago therapy, and remained higher for some time after that, but did not always result in “complete recovery.” Other studies found greater empathy and fewer feelings of relationship burnout in couples after therapy. Some research suggests that Imago therapy can aid individuals as well as couples; people with ADHD in particular may benefit from the development of communication, self-control, and listening skills that form the basis of the technique.
