My Approach to Helping

I know you'd prefer to fix your relationship without involving a counselor. I imagine you've already tried.

After 30 years of providing relationship therapy, and as the most published marriage therapist in Tennessee, I know how much couples desperately want to understand one another, communicate effectively, restore connection, and in many cases rebuild trust.

My approach is Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy with influences from Dr. John Gottman. In NC I had the privilege to work alongside with and be mentored by Dr. Gary Chapman, the author of the top-selling marriage book of all time, "The Five Love Languages". Dr. Chapman and I later co-authored a trilogy of books together designed to help couples & families communicate.

More Info About My Practice

One of the books I wrote is titled "When Will My Life Not Suck? Authentic Hope for the Disillusioned". Whether our problems & concerns are individual, marital, or family related I know that "hope is oxygen"-- valid hope that change can/will happen.
