Therapy for Chattanooga Residents

I have practiced for more than thirty years, offering psychodynamic psychotherapy, psychoanalysis, and couples therapy to adults across the lifespan. My approach assumes that present struggles often connect to longer stories — about worth, loyalty, loss, and how you learned to protect yourself early on.

Psychodynamic work does not rush you toward a label or a five-step plan. Instead, it creates room to notice what you feel, what you avoid, and what repeats when pressure rises. Many Chattanooga clients appreciate that pace — especially when life already demands constant performance.

For couples, therapy focuses on the patterns each partner brings into the relationship: distance, conflict, trust, and the emotional histories that shape how you argue or withdraw. The goal is understanding, not winning — so both people can see what the relationship is carrying.

I maintain one Nashville office for all in-person sessions. Online therapy is not a lesser form of care; it is how many adults in Chattanooga sustain thoughtful, confidential work without adding a long commute to an already full life.

Format, frequency, and privacy considerations are discussed before your first session so you can choose what fits — primarily online from Chattanooga, occasional in-person visits in Nashville, or a combination that respects your schedule and what you hope therapy might offer.
