Training: I have 29+ years of clinical experience, with:
- Master's level training (Tennessee State University; The Tavistock Clinic in London, England; The University of Southampton, Southampton, England)
- Doctoral level training (Tennessee State University, Vanderbilt University, etc.)
Philosophy/ Treatment Approach:
- I believe that people are much stronger and capable than they even realize or give themselves credit for. I love helping people realize and optimize their many strengths. My goal is to help you to feel strong, empowered, and capable. My expertise is in helping people manage their Stress/Anxiety (which in turn fuels Depression and Anger).
- In this life, we do not have any control over 99.9% of what is going on, despite how much we would like to be in control of everything.
- What we actually DO have control over is, HOW WE choose to Cope with each Situation and the US that we bring to each and every human interaction/relationship. I see it as part of my job to help you to fill your Positive Coping Skills Tool-belt with lots of Positive Coping Skills that really do make your life better and help you to bring your best self to each and every human interaction.
- Possessing Positive Coping Skills will help you to be a happier, more resilient person, even in the face of very difficult situations.
