I Love Us

I Love Us Licensed Marriage Therapist & Family Therapist•Certified S*x Therapist •ART Trained Therapist • Ph.D Candidate•Trauma Therapist

"I LOVE US" is a private practice dedicated to relationship and intimacy counseling. I have a passion for helping people (singles and couples) grow toward wholeness in relationships with themselves, with others, and with God. This may include identifying and changing unhealthy patterns, processing through traumas, working with issues in intimacy, and understanding the practical application of spirituality. While my faith is important to me, I respect that not all clients want matters of faith incorporated into their therapy experience. I'm happy to accommodate to many populations. I adore the Chattanooga area and want to do my part in helping people to thrive in their personal lives and families- helping to create a healthier and happier "City of Lights".

Neuroscientists and physiologists at the University of Copenhagen have characterized the precise neurobiological mechanisms behind the stress resilience benefits of habitual cold water immersion — finding that regular cold water swimming (10-15°C water, 10-20 minutes, 3-5 times weekly for 6 months) produces permanent structural changes in the locus coeruleus (the brain's primary norepinephrine hub), including increased dendritic branching, enhanced norepinephrine synthetic capacity, and upregulated alpha-2 autoreceptor sensitivity — changes that result in more controlled, proportionate stress responses that persist indefinitely after cold swimming cessation. The cold is rebuilding the brain's stress architecture. 🏊
The locus coeruleus is the neurological origin of the acute stress response — it produces the burst of norepinephrine that drives increased heart rate, alertness, and fight-or-flight physiological changes. In individuals with anxiety, PTSD, and burnout syndrome, the locus coeruleus is dysregulated — firing too readily and too intensely in response to non-threatening stimuli. Copenhagen's findings show that the repeated controlled stress of cold water immersion — which activates the locus coeruleus intensely but briefly, with the swimmer maintaining behavioral control throughout — acts as graduated functional training for the stress system, analogous to progressive overload training for muscles. The repeated controlled activation followed by recovery builds a more regulated, more resilient norepinephrine response architecture.
The mental health implications are immediately practical. Conventional anxiolytic treatments (SSRIs, benzodiazepines) suppress stress responses pharmacologically without addressing the underlying locus coeruleus dysregulation. Copenhagen's data suggests cold immersion therapy creates durable structural changes that improve stress regulation from the neurological architecture level — and unlike medications, the effect outlasts the treatment. Six months of cold swimming produces stress resilience that persists for years.
Copenhagen is now running a clinical trial of cold water swimming for treatment-resistant anxiety and PTSD. A swimming pool and cold water may be among the most cost-effective mental health interventions identifiable.

Spouses, you cannot invite darkness into your marriage and expect light to come from it.

You cannot consume fleshly desires and expect spiritual breakthrough.

COMPROMISE IS AN OPEN DOOR.

“You cannot drink [both] the cup of the Lord and the cup of demons. You cannot share in the Lord’s table and the table of demons [thereby becoming partners with them].” —1 Corinthians 10:21 AMP

Some of you are spiritually blind to the things keeping your marriage bound.

You JUSTIFY unhealthy friendships.
You ENTERTAIN and tolerate rebellion.
You IGNORE the Holy Spirit’s conviction.

And you wonder why your marriage is not producing the fruit of righteousness.

YOU CAN’T MIX HOLY AND UNHOLY AND EXPECT HEAVEN TO BLESS IT.

👉🏽 If you are ready to confront the unclean things that have been normalized in your marriage,
