"We find that what topples relationships and leaves little choice but divorce are not problems but rigidities in one or both partners. It’s not the size of the problem that determines whether a couple holds together or splits, but rather their ability to stay open to the situation and with each other.”

Ellen Bader

scheduling

I do all of my own scheduling. I have a variety of times available throughout the week. The quickest and easiest way get an appointment with me is to schedule online. You'll be able to see my available slots and grab one for yourself, as well as leave me personal note if you wish. If the online scheduler is giving you trouble, or if you think there is something we need to discuss before you schedule, feel free to text, call or email.  My office is located in the Southern Saddlery Building at 3069 Broad St. 

payment

Sessions are $135 and last 50 minutes. See pricing and location in the main menu for other related costs.  I accept cash, checks, debit cards, credit cards and health savings account cards. I don't participate in any insurance networks, but I can give you a receipt with CPT and diagnostic codes that you can file yourself and possibly get a rebate back - based on your insurance plan.

A little Bit more about me...

I moved to Chattanooga in 2017 and fell in love with the people, the restaurants, the walking bridge, and the majestic hiking trails. The joys of my life are my loving husband of 34 years, three awesome adult children, a terrific son-in-law, and one very entertaining dog who smiles.
