About me

I am a LCSW from Tennessee with forty seven years of experience in providing therapy to a wide range of clients . These patients have suffered from depression, anxiety, insomnia, PTSD, LGBT issues, and trauma as well as numerous other issues. If you chose to speak to me , you will find it a judgement free zone regardless of the situation. I consider myself almost" shock free" so don't hesitate to be as open as you feel comfortable. I am here to provide different perspectives and help you determine your next steps.

Like most therapists, I use a mixture of therapy approaches but lean toward rational emotive therapy in general.

I look forward to speaking with you. You have already completed the hardest step---you are seeking help.

I’ve got a history of therapist and I can assure outside of only 1 I had years ago the rest had a struggle with me. So I was nervous about trying better help and I was nervous to get along with who I was connected with but Joe is super awesome. And I look forward to all of our meetings. I do highly recommend better help and I’ve done so to everyone I know (which is maybe like 5 people) they have to find their own matches though cause Joe is mine.
