I am licensed in Tennessee with 18 years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, relationship issues, trauma, abuse, and depression. I believe that you are the expert of your story and that you have many qualities that will assist you in overcoming things that challenge you. Taking the first step to sign up for therapy takes courage and I am proud of you for getting started!
I believe that all of us have suffered from feeling that we are not in control of our lives. When that experience persists, then our instinct to protect ourselves can push us into patterns of behavior that range from bad habits to behavior that damages relationships and threatens our physical and mental health. I help people by focusing on their strengths rather than their weaknesses, to build supportive relationships with themselves and others, and to help them see themselves as unique and worthwhile persons. We do this together through a therapeutic relationship.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.

Best thing I found for someone who has a chaotic schedule
Bruce is a great listener and has helped me understand the " why " of my anxiety . Has great examples and thought provoking questions to ask. Highly recommend.
Bruce is a great therapist!
I’m so grateful and glad to find Bruce
I had given therapy a try a couple of times in the past, but I never stuck with it. Always felt the therapist and I didn't mesh, not blaming, but it happens. With Bruce our first call was audio because I told myself I wouldn't do video. Wouldn't you know, call number two, we did video. From there I knew that this was the time to stick it out and go with it. Bruce is kind, compassionate, and willing to call it like it is when he needs to. I recommend Bruce to everyone I know anytime therapy comes up. He has helped me immensely. 10/10, A++++, fast shipping or whatever they write on eBay reviews.
My experience with Bruce was very helpful, and sometimes challenging, which I value. He’s a great listener who’s focus is to help empower you, not make decisions for you. To lead you to find the answer within yourself, not give it to you. Thanks Bruce!
Bruce has been awesome! I have really enjoyed our sessions together.
I accidentally clicked the wrong answer on a couple of these I think. I really enjoy therapy with Bruce. He is always quick to respond, respectful, and very helpful. He makes me feel comfortable and he is very easy to talk to.
This was my fourth venture into Therapy and I was skeptical because the first three did not last long. I feel extremely fortunate to have gotten matched with Bruce. He is a solid guiding force helping me work through all of my flaws and concerns including some I wasn't fully aware of being there. 10/10 definitely recommend Bruce to any and everyone.
