Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT):

CBT offers techniques which help individuals explore their thought patterns, and how this way of thinking affects them emotionally. With the therapist's assistance and use of homework and experiential exercises outside of the therapy session, they develop healthier ways of thinking and acting on them.

I have studied with renowned rational emotive therapist Albert Ellis, PhD

Clinical Hypnosis:

Clinical hypnosis does not make you cluck like a chicken! It is a method of treatment where participants, with the help of the therapist, put themselves in a trance state in order to hear suggestions that can help them change habits, such as smoking or overeating, reduce fears, such as fear of flying, or lessen discomfort, such as hot flashes or pelvic pain. I am certified by the American Society for Clinical Hypnosis.(ASCH)

Imago Relationship Therapy (IRT):

All couples have a story about how they met, decided to be together and planned their forever happiness. Some couples tell their love story. Other couples narrate the history of their arranged marriage or the logic or their marriage of convenience. No matter how the story began, most couples seek a connected relationship that leaves them fulfilled. But when the love excitement wears off, couples become two individuals who are in the relationship for what they can get out of it for themselves.

IRT helps couples understand why they are drawn to each other and why they have power struggles that leave them feeling empty, distant and angry. IRT includes skill building and communication techniques designed to help couples appreciate one another, modify annoying behaviors and deepen connection.

Couples who participate in four (4) sessions of premarital counseling are given a certificate of completion good for a $60 discount on their Tennessee Marriage License.

I was trained by the well-respected psychologist Harville Hendrix, author of GETTING THE LOVE YOU WANT and KEEPING THE LOVE YOU HAVE, and his training team.

Bride Counseling:

Counseling brides requires more than therapeutic skills. It requires understanding a bride's culture, her religious values and her expectations of her wedding day. Counseling brides also requires experience in planning and executing complex activities.

I have experience in large event planning and have been a member of the Tennessee Wedding and Event Specialists Association. From 2008-2010, I was a columnist for a local bride publication.
