  • A intake session is typically 50 minutes. During our session, we will discuss what brought you to therapy, explore any challenges you're facing, and begin to outline a personalized plan for your journey toward healing and growth.

  • All paperwork is reviewed and signed electronically. Prior to your intake session, I will send over intake documents via a website called Simple Practice. Paperwork must be completed 24 hours prior to our intake session so we can review it together.

  • Yes! Telehealth is a secure, HIPAA compliant option and can be an effective way to work together- especially for those who prefer convenience or have limited childcare options. It can be just as supportive and impactful as in-person sessions.

  • Each session can look and feel different. Overall, therapy is collaborative and you can expect a supportive and confidential environment where your thoughts and feelings are valued. Sometimes we may explore your concerns and look for new insights and coping strategies. Other times, we may focus more on how is your body responding to things like stress, trauma, and overwhelm. Sometimes therapy feels worse before things feel better. Each session is tailored to your needs and focused on helping you move toward a healthier, more fulfilling life.

  • No. I cannot prescribe medication. I can provide referrals for other professionals that can.

  • I understand that cancellation policies vary, and it’s important for you to know this information upfront when deciding whether to begin therapy here.

    Cancellations, re-scheduled sessions, and “no shows” will be subject to the entire session fee if not received at least 48 hours prior to the session start time in advance. This is necessary because a time commitment is made to you and is held exclusively for you. If you are more than 15 minutes late to a session, your appointment is considered a “no-show.”

  • I am considered an out of network provider. This means I am not directly contracted with any insurance company. I can assist you with out-of-network billing, and you may be able to receive some reimbursement through your plan. I always recommend to check your benefits directly with your insurance to learn more about your options.

  • Yes! I offer extended 80 minute sessions. I also offer EMDR intensives for people who want more concentrated work in a single day or series of sessions. You can learn more about intensive options here.

  • I offer clinical supervision for LMSW’s pursuing clinical licensure in the state of Tennessee. *Currently not accepting new supervisees*
