Welcome to the next chapter in your journey towards wellness.
Counseling and therapy are designed to help us manage life events. If this statement describes you, this is what Altruistic Wellness Concepts does in a caring and supportive manner. Realizing that we could use some help can be difficult to act upon. If a person has a swollen arm you would seek professional help, however people often suffer in silence when it comes to mental health. Finding and seeking help can begin by making a phone call to our office.
Mental health is an important component to achieving wellness. Wellness has many definitions however let’s try to use this one for now. One way to describe therapy would be an active process to become aware of making choices towards a healthy fulfilling life.
I chose to become a therapist because I realize the value of learning to deal with life’s challenges in productive way. I also felt I had a unique perspective to offer people who have a desire to improve their quality of life. When life presents a crisis; an event which a person is unable to manage the feelings and emotions with their current set of coping behavior. This is when people often seek help. My training and skills have been developed to provide support during the healing process. My approach to providing therapy is to begin with what set of circumstances is causing disruption in your life right now. This is where we start. We offer a confidential safe and nonjudgmental place to talk about your life and look for another approach to move forward. Identifying the current hurdle and working to come up with a plan to move in different more productive direction is the approach we use with clients.
I am a licensed professional counselor in the State of Tennessee and Certified Rehabilitation Counselor. My experience spans 10 years of training and work experience in addition to in depth knowledge of substance abuse treatment. My therapeutic style is tailored to each client and developed with your desired goals in mind. I enjoy cooking, traveling and I am a sports fan.

It is my hope that if you choose to allow me to support you in managing your current life situation, we can devise a plan of treatment that will help you achieve an improved way to cope with your set of life events.
