It is a brave step to seek help. I am glad that you are here! Pain and heartache can disconnect us from our true selves—and others—leading to a feeling of being stuck and uncertainty about how to proceed. Through working with me, I want to help you find hope again and remember your immense value. We will create a safe relationship from which you can explore yourself and learn how to move your life forward.
I look forward to creating a safe place for you to receive support and care, moving toward freedom and joy again. I have navigated my healing therapy journey and consider it an honor to provide this sacred space for others.
My therapeutic approach is interpersonal, attachment-focused, and story-focused. On a typical day, you may find me in the office with a client who has a goal to overcome pornography addiction, a burnt-out married couple looking to find a way forward, someone working through boundary issues with their family, or someone trying to understand how to rebuild their faith. No matter what brings you in, I look forward to sitting with you.

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 $110 and last 50 minutes. I accept cash, checks, debit cards, credit cards and health savings account cards. I do not participate in any insurance networks and as a pre-licensed professional I am not yet able to offer diagnostic receipts for reimbursement.
Intake forms
Take a look at the 6 documents below. (#3 and #5 are long, complex documents required by the Federal Government. I'll put them into laymen's terms for you at the office. You've likely seen similar documents from other healthcare providers.)
- Fill out #1 and email to me - or complete at the office.
- Read #2, #3, and #4 ahead of time (sign electronically at the office - no need to print these out)
- If you need me to speak with a 3rd party - fill out and email #6 to me - or fill out at the office.
a little more about me...
I have lived in Chattanooga for over and decade and attended UT-Chattanooga and Richmont Graduate University (Chattanooga Campus). In my free time, I am equally happy to spend an entire day outside hiking, fly fishing or curled up inside with a good book. I’m also an aspiring writer. I am passionate about personal development and will continue to grow as a counselor by learning more about Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) to assist individuals and couples.
