Absolutely! I understand how important it is that you find the right fit. We can set up a 15 minute phone or video call to review what’s bringing you in, your goals for therapy, and any questions you may have. Please note, I generally believe it can take 3 sessions to build a strong rapport and develop our treatment approach together.
I offer virtual sessions for clients located in any part of Tennessee. Telehealth is a secure and convenient option that many clients find effective. *For those located in the Tri-Cities area of TN, we can discuss the possibility of in-person if this meets your needs better.
I work with individuals and couples, generally 18 years and older, drawing from a blend of approaches based on your unique needs. I’m trained in the Gottman Method for couples and also use trauma-informed, emotion-focused, and practical strategies that support lasting change.
My areas of focus include:
• Anxiety and stress
• Perinatal and postpartum mental health
• Life transitions and identity
• Couples therapy, including premarital, relationship challenges, discernment counseling.
• Adoption-related support
• Career and work/life balance concerns
Intake Session: $150
55 minute session: $125
75-90 minute couples session: $150
*Sessions are typically 55 minutes for individuals and 75 minutes for couples. I also offer lunch break coaching calls or intensives for those whose schedule or needs would benefit from a shorter or longer investment. Let’s discuss what works best for you!
That depends on your goals and circumstances. Most clients start with weekly sessions, then adjust frequency over time as progress is made.
I am not paneled with any insurance. All payments must be made upon booking. I can provide a superbill for you to submit to your insurance for possible reimbursement. Please check with your plan to understand your out-of-network benefits.
I ask for at least 24 hours’ notice to cancel or reschedule a session. Late cancellations or no-shows may be subject to a fee.
Yes—confidentiality is a core part of our work. There are a few legal exceptions (like risk of harm to yourself or others), which we’ll review in your intake paperwork.
You can contact me through the contact form to schedule a free 15-minute consultation or book your first session. I’d be happy to answer any questions you have.
